Advanced MX-5101VM 1-Loop Fire Panel - Medium (Argus)

The Advanced MX-5101VM is an MxPro 5 series single-loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel in the medium enclosure, for use with Argus Vega protocol devices. It is supplied with a single loop driver card, two on-board sounder circuits, 20 programmable zonal LEDs and 25 system LEDs.

Powerful cause-and-effect programming, dynamic zoning and enhanced trace diagnostics make it suitable for a wide range of sites, from small buildings to complex multi-area systems.

Key features

• Argus Vega protocol support
• Dual flash-based microprocessors with real-time clock and enhanced trace diagnostics
• White backlit 240 x 64 graphical LCD with tactile alphanumeric keypad
• 20 programmable zonal LEDs with slide-in labels, plus 25 system LEDs
• 4 programmable function buttons with LED confirmation
• Up to 200 fire zones per panel by default, allowing full EN 54 compliance without additional hardware; up to 2,000 zones when networked
