The MX1 may be fitted with optional AS 1668 fire fan controls to allow
management of air conditioning equipment, dampers, fresh air entry and
smoke exhaust, etc., during a fire.
The operation of this will be site-specific, but in general the Fire Mode
Reset button will need to be pressed after the MX1 is reset from alarm to
clear the latching fire mode on the fan controls.
Addressable detectors, input modules and output modules connected to
the MX loop.
A point is a representation of a component of a fire alarm. This
component could be the heat sensor of a combined smoke and heat
detector, or it may be a relay that controls alarm devices such as
sounders, or it may be some internal part of the control equipment.
The point that represents this component has a state, which can be one
or more of:
 Normal – the component is operational and no other condition is
present.
 Pre-Alarm – the component is a detector that has reached a
condition suggesting an impending alarm.
 Alarm – the component is a detector and has activated (see
Chapter 2). Generally, this calls the fire brigade.
 ActInput (Active Input) – the component is an input device that is
being driven out of its normal condition, but is not in alarm or fault.
 Operate – the component is an output device (relay, transistor
etc.) and is activated (turned on).
 Dirty – A detector is in a state that requires maintenance/attention.
 Fault – the component is in a condition that may adversely affect
its ability to function correctly and requires service.
 Device Fail – communication with this MX device has been lost
(for example, because the detector or wiring is faulty, or because
the detector has been removed from the loop). This will prevent
the device from performing its intended function.
 Type Mismatch – the wrong type of MX device is
installed/programmed at this address.
 Disabled – the point has been disabled by the operator to prevent
it from operating, or affecting system operation.
 TestOp (Test Operate) – the component is under test and has
been put into an operate state.
 Auto-Reset – the component is undergoing an Auto-Reset test.
 AlarmTest – the component is undergoing an alarm test.
