Advanced MX-5201VR 1-2 Loop 19" Rack Mount FACP c/w 1 Loop card (Argus)

The Advanced MX-5201VR is an MxPro 5 series 1-2 loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel in the 19-inch rack-mount format, 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).

As part of the MxPro 5 R series, the panel is housed in a module assembly designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch rack-mount enclosure. Advanced recommends the R series wherever an IP55 rating is specified, or where fire panels, programmable switches, mimics or other equipment need to be assembled in a 19-inch rack system.

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