Document: LT0344 Vigilant MX1 Operator Manual
Issue 2.4 8 August 2017 Page 9-1
Multiple MX1 fire panels along with other compatible panel-link devices,
may be connected together to form a network.
Some of the devices which may be part of the network include:
1. MX1 fire panels
2. XLG colour graphics system
3. QE90 evacuation system
4. NSA Nurse Station Annunciator
5. PMB Panel-Link Modbus Bridge
6. NDU Network Display Unit
7. NLDU Network LED Display Unit
8. MX4428 fire panel
9. Compact FF
Networking allows MX1 fire panels to share:
(i) Alarm information for display and control of alarms on the LCD.
Alarms on one MX1 can be displayed at other MX1s and Colour
Graphics displays. Alarms can be silenced, reset and disabled
from the MX1s and Colour Graphics displays.
(ii) Output logic status, allowing status and controls generated by the
output logic at one MX1 to be used by the output logic at another
MX1, e.g., for extended AS 1668 Fan Controls.
(iii) MAF Status, so that one MX1 can be a main brigade display and
signalling point for a number of MX1 panels on the site.
(iv) Event Information for status monitoring and network event printing.
An MX1 may be programmed to perform system wide event
printing and event history, or from just selected panels.
(v) Control for activating, disabling and silencing the Alarm Devices
on remote MX1s as a result of alarms or operator controls on the
local MX1.
Network Zone/Point functions include:
(i) Recall the status of a specific zone or point on a remote MX1.
(ii) Search for zones or points of a specific condition on remote MX1s.
(iii) Send reset, disable, alarm test, fault test, abort test, and operate
test commands on a single zone or range of zones or points to a
remote MX1.
