1.1 About the FX-2000
Mircom's cost-effective FX-2000 Intelligent Analog Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) is a
flexible and easy-to-use analog system. The FX-2000 base panel consists of: one intelligent
analog loop controller capable of supporting 99 analog sensors and 99 addressable modules
that can be wired in Class A (Style 6 or 7) or Class B (Style 4). Analog sensors and
addressable modules consist of all compatibility listed devices including Advanced Protocol
devices. Loop adder modules are available for additional addressable (SLC) loops. The ALC-
198S provides one additional addressable loop, and the ALC-396S provides two addressable
loops each capable of supporting 99 analog sensors and 99 addressable modules. In addition,
the base panel supports up to 16 conventional adder modules such as the DM-1008A Initiating
Circuit Module, SGM-1004A NAC Circuit Module, and the RM-1008A Relay Circuit Module.
The base panel also includes 4 Class A/B (Style Z/Y) NAC circuits rated at 1.7 amperes each,
and either a 6- or 12-ampere power supply. The ALC-H16 adder board provides expansion for
16 additional conventional hardwire modules.
1.2 Overall Features
