Description

Mircom’s QX-5000 Series is a multi-channel zoned audio system that allows the operator to selectively page from a central location to any of the system’s audible devices. In addition, the QX-5000 allows for zoned fire fighters’ telephone communication with remote telephone handsets that are permanently installed throughout a building. The QX-5000 Series consists of a card cage/audio motherboard, an audio/fire alarm interface board, power supply and battery charger which are designed to work with Mircom’s FA-1000 or FX-2000 Series Fire Alarm Control Panels. In addition it can be integrated with other compatible fire alarm control panels. All hardware and software is fully supervised for correct and reliable operation. The system has a simple interface to the fire alarm control panel, and contains its own power supply and battery backup system. The QX-5000 Series Zoned Audio system requires one QIF-5000B Interface card which provides inputs for the fire alarm panel, the paging microphone and the zone paging module. In addition it provides an audio trouble output. Only one interface card is required per system, and it mounts in the first slot of the QMB-5000B Audio Mother Board and Card Cage. One QIF- 5000B will support seven QMB-5000B card cages. Each card cage has space for one interface card and seven QAA style amplifiers, for a maximum of 360 watts per cabinet. Each QMB-5000B card cage requires one QPS-5000 Power Supply and QBC-5000N Battery Charger which all mount into a QBB-5001 Audio Cabinet. The QX-5000 Series Audio System interconnects with the Mircom Fire Alarm Control Panels through a supervised connection. Selective paging is provided through the QMP-5101B/QMP-5100B Master Paging Control Module which provides the microphone and common control functions. Zone selection is provided through the QZP-5101 Zoned Paging Selector Module. A total of six QZP-5101 modules can be connected to the QMP-5101B/QMP-5100B Master Paging Control module. In addition the QX-5000 Series allows for zoned fire fighters’ telephones. The QMT-5302/QMT-5300A Master Fire Fighters’ Telephone Control Module provides the master telephone and common control functions. The QZT-5302 Zoned Fire Fighters’ Telephone Selector Panel allows for 12 zone selector switches and LEDs. A total of six QZT-5302 can be connected to the QMT-5300A /QMT-5302 Master Fire Fighters’ Telephone Control Module.
