UL 521 listed for Heat Detectors
This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system
installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au-
thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when
installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA);
see NFPA 72.
Before installing sensors, please read the system wiring and installation man-
ual thoroughly. This manual provides detailed information on sensor spac-ing,
placement, zoning, and special applications. Copies of these manuals are
available from Mircom.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Models MIX-5351AP, MIX-5351RAP, and MIX-5351HAP are field programma-ble
intelligent sensors that use a state-of-the-art thermistor sensing circuit for
fast response. These sensors are designed to provide open area protection with
50-foot spacing capability as approved by UL 521. The intelligent temperature
sensor can be programmed as either a 135°F fixed temperature sensor, a rate of
rise and 135°F fixed temperature sensor or a 190°F high temperature sensor
through the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication.
Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional accessory (Part
No. RA100Z). Rotary dial switches are provided for setting the sensor’s
address. (See Figure 1.)
FIGURE 1. ROTARY ADDRESS SWITCHES
Mircom panels offer different feature sets across different models. As a re-
sult, certain features of the Intelligent Programmable Temperature Sensors may
be available on some control panels, but not on others. MIX-5351AP, MIX-
5351RAP, and MIX-5351HAP support Advanced Protocol and CLIP (Clas-sic Loop
Interface Protocol) mode.
The possible features available if supported by the control panel include:
- The sensor’s LEDs can operate in three ways—on, off, and blinking–and they can be set to red, green, or amber. This is controlled by the panel.
- The remote output may be synchronized to the LED operation or con-trolled independent of the LEDs. Please refer to the operation manual for the UL listed control unit for specific operation of these models
- Devices are point addressable up to 159 addresses.
- The heat sensor operates as a programmable heat detector.
NOTE: In panels where this feature is not available, the MIX-5351AP will default to a 135°F fixed heat detector. MIX-5351RAP will default to a 135°F fixed heat detector and rate-of-rise. MIX-5351HAP will default to a 190°F high temperature heat detector.
Intelligent programmable temperature sensors require compatible addressable communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compat- ible control panels only.
WIRING GUIDE
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code,
applicable local codes and the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire
gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color coded to limit
wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Improper connections will
prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.
- Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) as shown in the wiring diagram. (See Figure 2.)
- Set the desired address on the rotary dial switches. (See Figure 1.).
- Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base while turning it clockwise to secure it in place.
- After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and activate the communication line.
- Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

TAMPER RESISTANCE
Intelligent programmable temperature sensors include a tamper-resistant ca- pability that prevents removal from the base without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this capability.
TESTING
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to
prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter.
Test-ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors
offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA
72.
- A. Test Magnet (Model No. M02-04 – optional)
- Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test area, as shown in Figure 3, to activate the test feature.
- The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and annunciating the panel.
- Reset the detector at the system control panel.
- B. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)
- From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away to prevent damage to the cover during testing.
- The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the detector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs fail to light, check the power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
- Reset the detector at the system control panel.
Detectors that fail these tests may need to be cleaned as described under CLEANING and retested.
CLEANING
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.
- Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
- Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing area.
- Reinstall the detector.
- Test the detector as described in TESTING.
- Reconnect disabled circuits.
- Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
FM CLASSIFICATION
RTI ratings are for installations which must comply with FM 3210.
| 135°F Fixed RTI: | FAST |
|---|---|
| Rate of Rise/135°F Fixed RTI: | V2-FAST |
| 190°F Fixed RTI: | QUICK |

FCC STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television recep-tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-nected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
DEVICE AND SYSTEM SECURITY
Before installing this product ensure that the tamper seal on the packaging is
present and unbroken and the product has not been tampered with since leaving
