Setting the address on your Mircom MIX-M502MAP Interface Module is essential for proper communication within your intelligent, two-wire fire alarm system. Here's a straightforward guide:
-
Module Overview: The MIX-M502MAP utilizes built-in rotary decade switches to assign a unique address to each module. This allows the module to communicate its status to the control panel.
-
Installation Considerations: The module is designed to mount directly into standard 4-inch square electrical boxes with a minimum depth of 2 1/8 inches. Surface-mounted electrical boxes (SMB500) are also available if needed.
-
Wiring Guidelines: Always adhere to local electrical codes and regulations. This module is intended for power-limited wiring applications only. Refer to the job drawings and wiring diagrams provided for accurate wiring instructions.
-
Address Configuration:
- First, consult your job drawings to determine the specific address assigned to this module.
- Locate the rotary decade switches on the MIX-M502MAP module.
- Use a small tool, like a screwdriver, to carefully adjust the switches to match the desired address as indicated in your job drawings.
- Double-check that the address set on the module perfectly corresponds to the address programmed into your control panel. This synchronization is crucial for the system to function correctly.
By following these steps, you will successfully configure the address, enabling the Mircom MIX-M502MAP Interface Module to efficiently communicate with the control panel and monitor your two-wire conventional smoke detectors.
