Section 6 Installation
NOTE: Before beginning field installation, the configured electronics (connections, DIPs and
shunts) should be connected and tested in your shop. Outdoor security systems are often
installed over thousands of feet, making troubleshooting in the field both time-consuming and
expensive.
The MX-7000 integrates sensor and host systems and is installed in conjunction with one or more of the
following systems. Review the manuals of the systems included in your installation as required before
proceeding.
•
FPS 2-2M copper wire and FPS 5 fiber optic Fence Protection Systems
•
MPS-4100 Microwave Protection Systems
•
Stand-alone Transponders (SAT and SAFT)
•
Remote Display Unit (RDU)
•
Super-Transponder
•
Psycon Control Unit
•
Alarm Recordkeeping System (ARKS)
•
Alarm Relay Unit (ARU)
•
Weather Station
•
Video Switcher
•
Silver Network devices (FlexPS, FlexZone-4, Senstar LM100, UltraWave, UltraLink I/O)
The MX-7000 comes in either rack-mount or desktop option. Desktop mounting is typically used to
provide operator access and control. Rack-mounting is generally used in situations where the MX-7000 is
serving as an interface to another display and control system. The other system is providing the operator
interface to the security system (e.g. Psycon). If the MX-7000 will be used as the operator console, locate
it in a position that:
•
Provides operators with easy and comfortable access to the front panel controls or mouse.
•
Allows the internal speaker to be clearly audible.
•
Makes the LCD display easily visible.
•
Provides an adequate MX-7000 operating environment.
•
Allows for rear panel cabling access.
AVOID installing the MX-7000 in areas that:
•
Are near heating systems, noise sources or in direct sunlight.
•
Face direct sunlight that would make the display difficult to see.
•
Restrict the top of unit ventilation.
Power connections
The system must be supplied with transient and interference-free prime power. Power conditioning
transient suppressors suitable for computerized equipment must be employed between the MX-7000 and
the prime power line as required by good commercial practice to provide the highest level of protection
from power spikes and surges.
