Advanced MX-5201VL 1-2 Loop Fire Panel c/w 1 Loop card - Large (Argus)

The Advanced MX-5201VL is an MxPro 5 series 1-2 loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel in the large enclosure, supplied with one loop driver card fitted, for use with Argus Vega protocol devices.

Powerful cause-and-effect programming, dynamic zoning and enhanced trace diagnostics make it suitable for a wide range of sites, from small buildings to large, complex multi-area systems. It is compatible with AdvancedLive fire panel monitoring (UK and Ireland only).

The panel can be expanded to two loops by adding a second loop driver card (MXP-568).

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
