Advanced MXP-003 Standard Network Card

The Advanced MXP-003 is the standard Ad-NeT network card for MxPro 4 series fire alarm control panels and remote terminals. Adding and connecting the card allows an MxPro 4 panel or remote terminal to be networked with other panels, remote terminals and network peripherals using standard fire-resistant two-core cable.

The network operates as a true peer-to-peer system, so information from any input or output device can be passed over the network and displayed on any MxPro 4 panel or remote terminal as required.

Key features

• Standard Ad-NeT network card for MxPro 4 panels and remote terminals
• Nodes become visible to the rest of the network as soon as they are given a valid network node address, so panels can be added at any time
• Network analyser on every panel for diagnostic and status information, with the option to stop fires or faults being transmitted during commissioning
• Sector-based programming of Mute, Silence, Resound and Reset keys, investigation delays, group disablement and test instructions using Windows-based PC-NeT Mx software
• Any input device can be programmed to operate any output device on any panel
• Powered directly from the panel motherboard
