MX ADDRESSABLE AAD & VAD

A range of MX addressable Audible Alarm Devices (AAD) and Visual Alarm Devices (VAD) has been released with AS 7240.3:2018, AS 7240.17:2018 and AS 7240.23:2018

conformance and MX1/4100ESi compatibility.

The following MX addressable AADs and VADs have been released for use on MX1 fire alarm panels (V1.80 and onwards firmware required).

P80SB MX Addressable Sounder Base P80AVB MX Addressable Sounder/VAD Base

P81AVB MX Addressable Sounder/VAD Base, High intensity P80AVR MX Sounder/ VAD, Wall Mounting, Red

P80AVW MX Sounder/ VAD, Wall Mounting, White 80DSB Non-Addressable MX Sounder Base

P80AVB/P81AVB P80SB P80AVR/AVW

The P80SB and 80DSB AADs can be used on 4100ESi fire alarm panels, but the P80AVB, P81AVB, P80AVR and P80AVW VADS are not compatible.

The 80DSB non-addressable AAD may also be used on MX4428. However, none of the addressable VADs are supported by MX4428.

Description

The MX Addressable AAD and VAD are programmed with their own MX Loop address, so occupy one of the 250 available addresses separate from any detector plugged into the base.

This allows the devices to be used with or without a detector fitted, and for individual control of the sound and visual indication from the MX1 fire panel, or control of the sound on the 4100ESi fire alarm panel.

The AADs support up to 16 different tones, including ISO 8201 for fire alarm activation, and two volume levels: high/low.

In MX1 each device must be assigned via SmartConfig the tone and volume level that will be used when the sound is activated. Selecting the tone or volume

dynamically within MX1 is not available. Sounders that need to be activated for fire alarm/evacuation should use the T3 High Vol (ISO 8201) profile in SmartConfig. Sounders than need to be activated for a local alarm, e.g., smoke in an apartment / SOU, should use a specially created profile with a different tone.

In 4100ESi the 80DSB is configured in the 4100 Programmer by setting the Device Type of the detector fitted to the base to the required type with an S suffix (e.g., P5252S for a 850P). The P80SB is added to the MX Loop Card as a unique device with a Device Type of 4098-5215/LPSB3000 Loop Powered Sounder Base. Activation of the 80DSB or P80SB can be done by including the sounder output point in a Zone List (e.g., ZN1509 for Alarm Devices), or specifically in custom control. Refer to LT0619 4100ESi Programming Manual for details.

The VADs support two flash intensities (high/low) and two flash rates (1Hz, 0.5Hz). Each device must be assigned via SmartConfig the flash rate and intensity to use when the beacon is activated. Selecting the flash rate or intensity dynamically is not

(3)

available in MX1. Using the lower intensity and flash rate reduces the MX Loop current consumption of the device considerably – allowing more devices to be activated at the same time.

VAD Class Designation

Each VAD has a class designation that defines the VAD usage and coverage area. The Wall VADs (P80AVR, P80AVW) have a code of W-2.4-7.5 at high intensity. The W means it’s a wall mountable VAD, the 2.4 means the VAD can be mounted up to a height of 2.4m from the floor, and the 7.5 means the flash intensity covers an area of 7.5m x 7.5m in front of the VAD.

The base VADs: P80AVB, P81AVB, have ratings of C-3-8 and C-3-15, respectively, at high intensity. This means they are ceiling mountable VADs, which can be

installed to a height of 3m, and cover a cylindrical volume of 8m and 15m diameter, respectively, below the VAD.

Tag Plates

When a VAD is installed to AS 1670.1 it needs to have a label attached or alongside to show that it is part of the fire alarm system. A range of suitable red and white tag plates is available with the words FIRE or EVACUATE on them. Refer to PBG0218 for details.

80DSB Non-Addressable AAD (Sounder Base)

A non-addressable MX Loop AAD Sounder Base (80DSB) is also available.

This must have a detector fitted as the functional base output of the detector is used to control the sounder function.

The 80DSB has a choice of 9 tones and 4 volume settings (only 3 comply with AS 7240.3), which are set by dipswitches inside the base.

X= Max Mounting height Y= length and width in metres of the cubic volume covered

X= Max Mounting height Y= diameter in metres of the cylindrical volume

(4)

The 80DSB does not have a built-in short-circuit isolator, and it disables the internal short circuit isolator of an 850 detector if one is fitted. Also the 850 detector turns on its yellow LED when it activates the 80DSB, so there is an additional 3mA of loop current to support for each activated sounder. Therefore, the use of the 80DSB needs to be carefully considered. It must not be wired at the start or end of a zone, as a short circuit in the wiring to the previous or next zone will stop the sounder base and the detector from working.

The 80DSB replaces the 802SB, which is now obsolete.

MX1 Software Compatibility

MX1 firmware V1.80 and onwards is required to be fitted to the MX1 panel to support these devices. Refer to PBK0033 for details.

SmartConfig V2.9 and onwards is required for programming the MX1 configuration. Refer to the latest version of PBK0024 for details.

4100ESi Software Compatibility

4100ESi firmware V3.04.03 onwards is required to support the P80SB. The 80DSB may also be used, but the addressable VADs are not supported.

MX4428 Compatibility

Only the 80DSB is compatible with MX4428. No specific MXP firmware is required. The P80SB and addressable VADs are not supported on MX4428.

MX Loop Loading

The VAD devices have a different current consumption characteristic to previous MX devices – they have a power consumption rating (not current as per most other MX devices). This is because they must generate the rated white flash intensity over the full operating voltage range – not just at maximum voltage. Table 1 shows the

AAD/VAD current and power consumption for different settings. Table 1

AAD/VAD MX Loop Loads

Device Quiescent Current Sounder Only VAD on Low Intensity 0.5Hz VAD on High Intensity 1Hz 80DSB 0.09mA 3.9mA - - P80SB 0.35mA 4.3mA - -

P80AVB 0.48mA 4.3mA 275mW 608mW

P81AVB 0.5mA 4.3mA 404mW 1119mW

P80AVR 0.48mA 8.5mA 391mW 637mW

P80AVW 0.48mA 8.5mA 391mW 637mW

One consequence of this is these VADs draw an increasing amount of current as the MX loop voltage decreases – which makes loop calculations more complex. Also

(5)

these VADs include a loop short-circuit isolator, which introduces a resistance into the loop for every device, reducing the voltage around the loop as more devices are turned on simultaneously.

For loop calculations a simplistic approach is to assume the VADs are equally spaced around the loop, which allows an average current consumption to be used. MX1Cost (V2.15 onwards) takes this approach. Table 2 shows the maximum quantity of each device that can be turned on simultaneously. It assumes:

• There are no other devices on the loop.

• The devices are equally spaced along the cable length.

• No cable length is allowed for (so no voltage drop for cable resistance). • Sounders are at full volume.

• For 80DSB a PH detector with its yellow LED turned on is included. Table 2

Max Quantity On Simultaneously per MX Loop

Device Max Qty On

Sounder Only Max Qty On Low Intensity 0.5Hz Max Qty On High Intensity 1Hz 80DSB 139 - - P80SB 120 - - P80AVB 120 83 47 P81AVB 120 69 25 P80AVR 90 70 45 P80AVW 90 70 45

MX1Cost should be used to do the actual loop calculations including the required loop cable length and cable type. It will indicate if the loop is overloaded, or if the voltage at the far end is too low for operation of the MX devices (requiring thicker or shorter cable, or a reduced number of devices on at the same time).

However, if the devices are not uniformly distributed along the loop a manual loop calculation will need to be done, taking into account the cable type and length, distribution of devices along the loop and how many are turned on simultaneously. 4100Cost V1.15 includes the new AAD devices plus updated MX loop and power supply calculations.

Accessories

A range of accessories is available to be used with the MX Addressable AADs and VADs.

Where a P80AVB, P81AVB, or P80SB base is being used without a detector fitted, a blanking cap (B-CAP) can be fitted to cover the base contacts.

The P80AVR and P80AVW wall-mount units require a hole to be cut in the wall to allow cable entry and termination. Where this is not possible surface mount back boxes in matching colours and two depths are available for surface mounting.
