11.0 Hardware Layouts
The MMX Fire Alarm Control System contains two major types of nodes: Fire Nodes and Mass
Notification Nodes. The entire system is modular and any number of combinations are
possible when building a system.
The Fire Nodes use the MMX-BBX-1024R, the MMX-BBX-1072A(R)DS, the BB-5008, and the
BB-5014 model backboxes.
The Mass Notification Node uses the MMX-BBX-FXMNS model backbox.
The system can also include Audio-Signaling Enclosure Cabinets that can connect to either
node and use the MMX-BBX-MSNXP backbox. Local Operating Consoles use the MMX-LOC
backbox and are used with Mass Notification Nodes.
11.1 Hardware Nomenclature
For a chassis:
• The number indicates the number of modules that the chassis holds. For instance, the
MMX-2003-12NDS can accommodate 3 modules, and the MMX-2017-12NDS can
accommodate 17 modules.
• The number after the dash indicates the output of the transformer. For example, the
transformer on the MMX-2003-12NDS has an output of 12 A.
• The N suffix indicates that the device is part of a networked fire panel.
For an annunciator:
• The number represents the number of LEDs the device has. For example, The RAM-
1016 has 16 LEDs, and the RAX-1048 has 48 LEDs.
• The TZ suffix indicates that the device has trouble LEDs.
• The DS suffix indicates that the device has a newer kind of switch (a dome switch).
For a backbox:
• For backboxes with the BB prefix, the number indicates the number of annunciators that
the backbox holds. For example, the MMX-BB-1008 holds 8 annunciators.
• The DS suffix indicates that the backbox has a window that accommodates DS displays
(with dome switches).
• B or R indicates whether the door is black or red. If there is no letter, then the door is
white or the same colour as the cabinet.
Note: The information in this chapter is for reference only and is subject to change

Note: Leave at least ¼ inch (6.35 mm) between the door and any metal parts inside the
cabinet or chassis.
