The 801AP MX Service Tool is a portable device designed for programming and testing MX addressable fire detection devices. It features a 32-character backlit LCD alphanumeric display, arranged in two rows of 16 characters, and four 'softkeys' (F1, F2, F3, F4) for navigation and input.

Function Description:

The primary function of the 801AP MX Service Tool is to program the loop address into MX addressable devices. This is achieved by placing a detector onto the tool and turning it clockwise until fully engaged, or by connecting ancillary devices via the AUX port using a dedicated programming cable (RJ11 connector at one end, custom molded connector at the other).

Beyond address programming, the tool offers several diagnostic and testing functionalities:

• Address Program: Reads and writes the address of connected addressable devices and stores a memory map of used addresses.
• Analogue Values: Displays the analogue values transmitted by the attached device to the control panel. These values do not include calibration or correction factors.
• Measure Temp.: Measures temperature in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit for detectors with temperature sensing elements (Heat only, Optical & Heat, CO & Heat detectors).
• Measure CO Level: For CO detectors only, this displays CO levels in parts-per-million (PPM) in the measuring environment. A normal value is zero PPM.
• Test All: Combines tests for detector R1 and L2 terminals, and sensor circuitry. The R1 terminal tests the remote indicator output, the L2 terminal tests the functional base interface output, and the Selftest checks the sensor input circuitry (may take up to 30 seconds). Test results are reported as PASS, FAIL, or NOT AVAILABLE.
• Dirtiness: Available for detectors with an optical sensing element, this indicates the contamination level of the optical chamber as a percentage, where 100% is the fault level. A value of 80% or above suggests the detector should be replaced. Negative numbers indicate the analogue value has fallen since manufacture.
• Device Type ID: Displays a unique identification value corresponding to the addressable device model number.
• Digital Inputs: Displays the status of digital inputs in binary and as a decimal number (0-255) for all addressable devices.
• Digital Outputs: Allows the user to set the digital outputs of the addressable device. An LED test can be performed by toggling the eighth bit to "1" to illuminate the device's red LED.
• Customer Code: Not normally used, but it should be set to the same as the customer code in the device. Communication is only possible if the customer code in the device and the service tool match. The addressable device is manufactured with a default code of 254, which cannot be changed.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions (HWD): 48 x 200 x 112mm
• Weight: 0.36kg (Service Tool only), 0.5kg (Service Tool + batteries)
• Materials (Top/Bottom): FR ABS Dark Blue
• Batteries: 4 x rechargeable AA size Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.
• Operating Time (Batteries only): Up to 15 hours (dependent on battery charge and usage).
• Power Input: Unregulated +12V DC (car cigarette lighter connection or 110/230V AC mains adaptor). The AC adaptor is required for testing high-current MX addressable devices (e.g., SAM800/SAB800/SAB801).
• Charging: Built-in charging circuit. Boost-charges batteries in 4-5 hours, full charge in 10 hours.
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to +45°C
• Storage Temperature: 0°C to +50°C
• Relative Humidity: 90% (non-condensing)
• EMC: Meets EU EMC Directive 89/336/EEC requirements.
• External Connections:
  • DC IN +12V: For power from car cigarette lighter or mains adaptor.
  • AUX: Ancillary connection port for programming ancillary devices.
  • PC: PC connection port for use with MX CONSYS (not yet available).
  • μP: Internal micro-processor program download port for use with PMS - Program Management Software.

Usage Features:

• Port Interlock: When the ancillary lead is connected to the 'Aux' socket, communication with the detector is disabled. Removing the ancillary lead re-enables detector communication.
• Password Protection: The Service Tool requires a 6-digit password to operate, which is unique to each tool and issued by the branch office. The password uses digits 1-4, entered via F1-F4 buttons. Users have 3 attempts; on the 4th incorrect attempt, the tool displays "Phone Base Password" and switches off, allowing only one subsequent attempt.
• Password Expiry: The password has an expiry time, indicated by "Hours Left" when less than 50 hours remain. Once hours left reaches zero, the tool becomes inoperable and must be returned.
• Device Polling: For data retrieval, the 801AP polls attached devices at pre-determined intervals (2 seconds for ADDRESS PROGRAM, 5 seconds for other functions).
• Low Battery Indicator: A flashing symbol in the bottom right of the LCD display indicates low battery. Batteries must be recharged using the mains adaptor.
• LCD Backlight: The display can be temporarily illuminated by pressing any two buttons simultaneously.
• Auto Power Off: To save battery life, the tool automatically turns off after 5 minutes of no button presses.
• CPU Reset: A small pinhole on the bottom of the tool allows for a CPU reset using a jeweller's screwdriver, which can resolve unresponsive buttons or display issues. After a reset, the tool restarts with password protection.
• Intrinsically Safe 800Ex Detectors: Older 801AP models require an Ex dongle adaptor (supplied with EX1800) fitted to the 'AUX' port for programming 800Ex detectors. Newer models (identified by a C-tick mark on the product identity label) do not require this adaptor. When using with 800Ex devices, the Service Tool must be used in a non-hazardous safe area.
• Programming Lead Compatibility: Newer hardware versions (with C-tick mark) are compatible with download lead 801PL PMS MX Programming Lead (S/C No. 516.800.929) but not with earlier AVRISP-02 PMS MX Programming Lead (S/C No. 516.800.928).
• Carrying Options: Designed for use as a desktop unit, clipped to a trouser belt, or carried with a shoulder strap.

Maintenance Features:

• Battery Installation/Replacement: Unscrew two screws on the base, remove the battery compartment cover, insert 4 x AA Nickel Metal Hydride batteries ensuring correct polarity, and replace the cover.
• Battery Charging: Fully charge batteries for 10 hours before first use. Recharge as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Only Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries should be used. Do not open the battery lid while the unit is switched on.
