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:

PanelFirmware
FX-2000N ‘FleXNet’12.2.30 (or lower)
FX-4000N ‘FleXNet MP’1.11.X (or lower)
FX-35003.0.9
FX-33183.0.9

PanelFirmware
FX-2000N ‘FleXNet’12.2.40 (or higher)
FX-4000N ‘FleXNet MP’1.12.0 (or higher)
FX-35003.0.17 (or higher)
FX-33183.0.17 (or higher)
