Introduction
About the FX-2000
Mircom's cost-effective FX-2000 Intelligent Analog Fire Alarm Control Panel is a flexible and easy-to-use analog
system. The FX-2000 base panel consists of one intelligent analog loop controller capable of supporting 99 analog
sensors and 99 addressable modules that can be wired in Class A (Style 6 or 7) or Class B (Style 4). Loop adder
modules are available for additional addressable loops. The ALC-198S provides one additional addressable loop,
and the ALC-396S provides two addressable loops each capable of supporting 99 analog sensors and 99
addressable modules. In addition, the base panel supports 16 conventional adder modules such as the DM-1008A
Initiating Circuit Module, SGM-1004A Indicating Circuit Module, and the RM-1008A Relay Circuit Module. The base
panel also includes 4 Class A/B (Style Z/Y) indicating circuits rated at 1.7 amperes each, and either a 6- or 12-
ampere power supply. The ALC-H16 adder board provides expansion for 16 additional hardwire/conventional
modules.
