System (ACU)
The MNS portion of a complete Mircom FleX-Net™ Network Fire Alarm system consists of a
BBX-FXMNS Enclosure (see Node 2 in figure below). The BBX-FXMNS includes a RAXN-
4000LCD Annunciator which is designated an ACU (Autonomous Control Unit) and a Master
Microphone to provide emergency audio. Below the ACU is another RAXN-4000LCD which
annunciates the fire alarm system along with a Master Telephone for emergency use. Below
this is a display LCD such as the DSPL-420DS or DSPL-2440 which may be used for service;
this display will show all messages. Up to seven FX-LOC(R)s can be connected to any MNS
node.
The FX-LOC(R) Local Operating Console along with the FleX-Net™ Network Fire Alarm
provides compliance with the Mass Notification System (MNS) UL 2572 requirements.
