Minerva® MZX Addressable Control Panels
This range of digital addressable fire control panels uses
the well established MXDigital® Loop protocol, detectors, i/o
modules, user interface and software from the MX range of
panels. They provide a single box solution ideally suited for
small and medium sized installations up to 240 zones.
The following models are available :-
MZX125 Single Loop, 125 Addresses, 16 Zones
MZX250 Single Loop, 250 Addresses, 32 Zones
MZX251 Single Loop, 250 Addresses, 32 Zones
MZX252 Two Loop, 500 Addresses, 32 Zones
MZX253 2 to 4 Loop, up to 1000 addresses, 64 Zones
MZX254 2 to 4 Loop, up to 1000 addresses, 240 Zones
The MZX125 housing has space for 2 x 12Ah batteries
The MZX250 housing has space for 2 x 17Ah batteries
The MZX251, 252, 253 and 254 housings have space for 2 x
38Ah batteries
Running the robust MXDigital® loop protocol the panels can
operate using most cable types. This makes them ideal for
upgrades as the existing cables can be utilised reducing
installation time and cost.
All panels are complete with an integral PSU which will
support a full compliment of loop powered sounders and
beacons.
The MZX250, 251, 252, 253 and 254 control panels can
be fitted with the TLI800EN network interface module,
This enables up to 99 control panels to be seamlessly
networked, or to be added to an existing network of MX Fire
controllers.
Repeaters
Four dedicated repeaters are available.
These repeaters offer the user full panel functionality. Up
to 7 repeaters can be attached to the control panel’s 2 wire
remote bus. Two repeaters are mains driven with internal
mains psu & batteries and two require an external 24VDC
supply.
MZX16R 16 Zones with space for 7Ah or 12Ah batteries
MZX32R 32 Zones with space for 17Ah batteries
MZX64DR 64 Zones (requires 24VDC supply)
MZXDR 240 Zones (No Zonal Led’s) (Requires 24VDC
supply)
