Mircom QX-MINI Emergency Communication System Owner’s Manual
Description
The QX-mini is an emergency and fire alarm audio system designed to provide notification for small to medium applications. The QX-mini supplies 30W for audio output and 5A for Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC). The optional 30 Watt Amplifier Module increases audio output to 60W.
Notifications can be sent using stored digital message recordings, the master microphone, or remote microphones. The QX-mini comes with standard notifications and can store up to
14 messages for a total of 12 minutes of digital message recordings. Up to six remote microphones and/or LOCs can be connected to the QX-mini.
The QX-mini operates either as a stand-alone audio system or as part of a fire alarm system. Conventional fire alarm systems control the
QX-mini with relays. Mircom compatible Fire Alarm Control Panels can control the QX-mini using Signalling Line Circuit (SLC).
Optional Booster Panels provide support for a distributed system. These Booster Panels act as true slaves to the master with respect to Outputs. All Inputs, Microphones and User interfaces are disabled on Booster Panels and they cannot be programmed through the configuration software. Up to five Booster Panels can be connected to a QX-mini.

Backup Amplifier with QAS-2X8 Audio Amplifier Splitter
When there are 2 amplifiers installed, one of them can be configured as a backup. If the main amplifier fails, the backup amplifier takes over.
Instructions
Up to 8 Audio Outputs with 2 different audio messages per Panel with QAS- 2X8 Audio Amplifier Splitter
When connecting 2 amplifiers to the audio zone splitter in an application
where each amplifier plays a different audio message. For example, one
amplifier can provide an alarm signal to a zone, and the other amplifier can
provide an alert signal to the other zones. This configuration provides 8
outputs. The 8 outputs can select from amplifier 1, amplifier 2, or they can
be off
