MX40 RX exit sign body, 1 h

Product description

MX40 RX is an addressable exit sign whose body (mounting profile, electronics and battery) is fitted with a separately ordered pictogram and red cross panel (MX40 Red X, 970021). In normal mode the luminaire works as an ordinary exit sign, and during a power failure the internal battery keeps the light on for 1 hour. When an alarm point or zone of the fire alarm system goes into fire alarm, a control expression lights a red X on the sign, indicating that the exit direction is blocked, for example by smoke. The X goes out when the fire alarm is reset at the control panel. In EBLWin the unit is programmed with type MXER.

The luminaire is connected to the COM loop of a Panasonic fire alarm system, so the control panel monitors its condition and reports faults. The device automatically performs a function test, a battery test and a duration test at least once a year. The indicator light shows its status: green = normal, flashing green = commissioning test, red = LED fault, flashing red = battery fault or failed duration test.

Installation

The body is fitted to the Panasonic analogue base 3312FLW or 3312W, which can be mounted on the ceiling or wall. The COM loop is connected to the SA and SB terminals of the base and the 24 V operating voltage line to the E+ and E− terminals; the operating voltage is supplied, for example, by the MX Power Box power supply unit. The address (001–253) is set with the address setting tool 4414 in NORMAL mode (EBL512 G3). On the RX model the pictogram is always single-sided; the X panel is slid on top of the pictogram and locked with the plastic buttons supplied. A threaded rod plate 920013 is available as an accessory.
