Loop powering up trouble caused by revision change of MIX-M500RAP(A) Relay modules when used in the AP protocol.
Issue:
When powering up a loop that has a MIX-M500RAP(A) relay with date code TBD, it will cause the panel to go into a loop initialization fault. This issue is due to a design change, which deviates from published specifications made by System Sensor that is causing an adverse effect (bad checksum) fault the panels listed below.
Affected panels:
| Panel | Firmware |
| FX-2000N ‘FleXNet’ | 12.2.30 (or lower) |
| FX-4000N ‘FleXNet MP’ | 1.11.X (or lower) |
| FX-3500 | 3.0.9 |
| FX-3318 | 3.0.9 |
Solution:
Change the affected relay device listed above to the CLIP protocol or upgrade the Firmware of the panels to the following.
| Panel | Firmware |
| FX-2000N ‘FleXNet’ | 12.2.40 (or higher) |
| FX-4000N ‘FleXNet MP’ | 1.12.0 (or higher) |
| FX-3500 | 3.0.17 (or higher) |
| FX-3318 | 3.0.17 (or higher) |
Method:
Use the following steps to gather the data necessary to quickly identify if any of the MIXM500RAP(A) on your system are causing the issues listed above.
- Use the following link to download Tera Term:
