Document: LT0344 Vigilant MX1 Operator Manual
Issue 2.4 8 August 2017 Page 1-3
The VIGILANT MX1 is control and indicating equipment (c.i.e.) that forms
the central part of a fire detection and alarm system using MX analogue
addressable detectors.
It complies with the requirements of NZS 4512:2010 “Fire Detection and
Alarm Systems in Buildings”, AS 7240.2-2004 “Fire Detection and Alarm
Systems” and AS 4428.3-2010 “Fire Brigade Panel”.
Up to 250 MX devices (detectors and addressable input/ output modules)
may be connected to the in-built detection loop. Some devices support
multiple inputs and outputs which can be monitored and controlled
separately. Additional loops of up to 250 MX devices may be added to
the MX1 by fitting MX Loop Cards. The MX DIGITAL communication
protocol used on the detection loops provides high reliability and fault
tolerance. The MX1 uses software algorithms to evaluate the analogue
values returned from the detectors.
MX FASTLOGIC is a fuzzy logic based algorithm applied to photoelectric
smoke detectors. It is designed to discriminate between the smoke and
temperature patterns of real fires and the typical causes of nuisance
alarms. It supports three risk levels; High, Medium and Low.
SMARTSENSE is a field-proven, reliable detection algorithm, reducing
nuisance alarms, compensating for ambient conditions, with a wide range
of programmable sensitivity settings.
Both algorithms provide:
Detector pre-alarm sensing for early warning of a potential alarm.
Compensation for soiling and changes in ambient conditions.
Logging of “detector dirty alert” when compensation limits are about to
be exceeded, to allow service to be scheduled.
The MX1 is supplied in a compact metal cabinet with an integrated
Fire Brigade Panel and operator keypad and display. Space is provided
for Zone Status indicators in rear and front service formats.
One Remote Fire Brigade Panel (RFBP) may be connected to the MX1
panel to provide a remote operator interface or fire brigade attendance
point. This operates independently of the MX1 panel’s user interface, but
on the same internal data – zone and point status, buzzer on/off,
silence/mute, etc. Note, the Remote FBP can be configured so that its
keyboard cannot be used in alarm conditions (for example, when it is
installed for non-fire brigade use and it is necessary to avoid the Remote
FBP user interfering with the fire brigade’s alarm display).
Depending on the Remote FBP model zone LED displays may be
included.
