For projects where flexibility is needed, Micom’s FleX-Net™ FX-4017-12N is a powerful multi-protocol solution.

The FleX-Net FX-4017-12N Fire Alarm Control Panel is designed to meet virtually any application of detection, control, notification, and emergency communications. Features such as fire detection & alarm, audio/voice evacuation, BACnet, Boolean logic, networking and graphical workstation support allow this modular solution to accommodate projects from the simplest systems up to the most complex solutions.

• FleX-Net FX-4017-12N Fire Alarm Control Panel supports multiple intelligent protocols:
– MIX-4000 Devices
– Advanced Protocol (AP)
–  Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP)

• Multiple User Interface Options including:
– 80 characters or 960 characters backlit LCD with the user-friendly menu;
– LED displays adders
– Up to 7 remote annunciators per node.

• Multiple languages are supported including English, French, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The base panel includes:

  • Main Processor Board with built-in Network card interface, Voice Evacuation System Interface, and IP Port for OpenGN Workstation or BMS Integration.
  • Four (4) Style Z/Y (Class A/B) Notification Appliance

Circuits

  • RS485/RS232/Ethernet Communication Ports
  • Software Features:
  • Boolean Logic Engine for complex sequences of Operations
  • Storage and Management for up to three configuration versions for phased commissioning
  • Audio Message Sequencer
  • Built-in BACnet for BMS System Integration
  • Built-in Webserver for Remote Event Notification

Networking Features

The network configuration allows multiple FleX-Net 4000N Series control panels to be connected using supervised Class A/B circuits to expand the available SLCs, input circuits, visual indication zones, programmable notification appliance circuits, relay outputs and monitor points in the application. The network interface module creates a robust peer-to-peer network via a proprietary protocol that ensures network segments operate independently in case of network impairment. The high baud rate of the network allows for multiplexing of control, audio, and telephony communications over a single copper or fiber interface using advanced compression algorithms. Twisted-Pair Copper, Single-Mode Fiber & Multi-Mode Fiber networking is supported.

Fire Alarm Control Features

  • Expandable up to 28 SLC
  • Each SLC current capability is 200mA in standby and 400mA in alarm. SLC Maximum line resistance 40 Ohms and maximum line capacitance 0.47uF
  • Four Style Z/Y (Class A/B) Notification Appliance Circuits rated at 1.7 Amps each with built-in sync protocol
  • Supports both 80 characters and 960 characters backlit LCD displays with a user-friendly menu
  • Menus and Tags in English, French, Arabic*, Chinese*, Russian*, Spanish and Portuguese. (*needs DSPL-2440DS or RAXN-4000LCDG)
  • Tags only: it accepts all languages supported by Windows 10 (requires graphic annunciator)
  • Correlatable Switch Inputs which allows for multifunctional outputs
  • Sub-addressing to optimize the number of devices in each loop
  • Four Alarm Queues with selector switches and LEDs for Alarm, Supervisory, Monitor and Trouble
