Description

• The IXL part of the Cerberus Pyrotronics family of fire detection, life safety equipment. Ideal for buildings of intermediate size, the IXL provides a full array of standard and optional features.
• The IXL is fully supervised, power limited and fully field programmable control panel. The standard control panel has two network communication lines (these lines are referenced by NFPA72 as signaling line circuits). This panel can be expanded to monitor up to four network communication lines.
• Each network communication line consists of one data line, two power lines and one earth return line. The data and power lines are supervised for open circuit, short circuit and earth faults.

The network communication lines can support a variety of addressable modules and devices for maximum system flexibility. These addressable modules and devices include up to:

• 256 addressable input devices. This limit can be reached by a combination of any of the following: Up to 256 conventional zone modules
  Up to 4 “I“ Series control modules
  Up to 240 “I” Series devices (detectors, manual stations, TRI interfaces),

• 224 addressable control element relay output modules,

• 24 addressable LED annunciators or graphic or voice interfaces,

• 16 high visibility LCD alphanumeric displays or printer interfaces,

• 16 remote panel control modules,

• 4 generic switch control modules.

The system operator can select one of four smoke sensitiv-ity settings for a specific “I” Series smoke detector in-stalled on an ICon circuit. In addition, the IXL displays at the panel a specific “I” Series smoke detec-tor’s analog sensitivity value. This feature permits the user to perform a UL listed smoke detector sensitivity test.
The system architecture allows for T-tapping of the NFPA Standard 72 Style 4 (Class B) signaling the circuits. Signaling line circuits can be configured for either NFPA Standard 72 Style 6 (Class A) or NFPA Standard 72 Style 4 (Class B) operation.
One of the major benefits of the IXL system is that it is fully field programmable. Utilizing the IBM compatible computer and the panel’s interactive keypad, the IXL can be custom-ized to meet specific installation requirements.
The interactive keypad allows you to perform basic system operations in the normal, program and test modes. You are guided through the system operation by LED’s that flash in order to indicate available operation choices. The IXL also offers password access protection for the use of the panel when additional security is necessary. These features make installation, reconfig- uration and maintenance service simple.

IXL

The IXL consists of the main control panel and enclosure for the IXL system. It contains the intelligence for the system. All data is processed and transmitted to other components in the system via the network communication lines.
The IXL also has two notification appliance (alarm signal) circuits rated at 2 Amp. Each, either Style Z (Class A) or Style Y (Class B). The IXL municipal tie circuit is jumper selectable for master box or line reversal circuit. There is also a built-in battery charger with a 40 AH battery capac-ity. The IXL has four Form C contacts rated at 1A at 30 VDC, or 200 mA at 120 VAC. The relays are for alarm, trouble, supervisory and degrade mode operations.
IXL Control Panel Keypad and Display
The IXL keypad and display contains seven LEDs (Green, Red, Yellow). These LEDs are “event indicators” that indicate:

• Power
• Alarm
• Trouble
• Supervisory
• Bypass or Bell Silence
• Service Required
• CPU Failure.

There are also seven keys that are function keys with corresponding indicating LEDs. For the normal program and test operations, the user will use the function keys to make selections and to receive information from the system. These function keys are:

• Acknowledge/F1
• Reset/F2
• Day/F3
• Drill/F4
• Test
• Program
• Enter.

The data display has four (4) red digits. Each digit illumi-nates to indicate a number or a letter.

Operation

The IXL has three modes of operation — normal, program and test. Each mode enables the user and the system to best monitor and control the protected environment.
In the operating mode any condition such as normal operation (power on), alarm, trouble or supervisory condi-tion will be annunciated at the panel. During the normal operation with no events or abnormal conditions occurring, only the green “power” LED will remain lit.
The program and test modes, unlike the operating mode, may be used only after entering the user password.

The IXL-EXP is equipped with tow addressable network communication (signaling line) circuit connections which provide a mximum .5 Amp. Each. This module’s maximum Style 4 (Class B) wire run (including T-tap runs) to the last addressable device is (2000 feet).

“I” Series Control Module — ICon

The ICon , “I” Series control module provides the commu-nication interface between the IXL system and the Cerberus Pyrotronics “I” Series intelligent devices. These “I” Series devices include: all models of the ID-60 Series detectors, the universal base, the MSI manual stations and TRI interfaces. The ICon module can be placed anywhere on the IXL network communication lines.
A maximum of four ICon “I” Series control modules can be used with the IXL. Each ICon must be assigned on of the four available input device addresses. Each ICon module can support up to sixty addressable intelligent “I” series devices.
When the ICon is used with the ID-60 intelligent ion or photoelectric detectors, the user, via the IXL keypad, can set the detectors’ sensitivity to one of four levels — low, medium, normal or high. In addition, by using the IXL system Test mode, a user can retrieve an intelligent ion or photo detectors’ actual sensitivity voltage reading. This information allows the user to remotely test the detector’s sensitivity at the control panel per UL requirements.
As with all Cerberus Pyrotronics “I” Series intelligent devices, these devices can be programmed and functionally tested using the compact, menu driven, SensorLINK programmer/tester. The SensorLINK also allows the user to test the detector’s sensitivity.

Conventional Zone Interface Module — CZI Series

The conventional zone interfaces, known as the CZI Seris models, are addressable modules that can accommodate conventional initiating devices. The IXL can support up to 256 CZI modules as part of the total number of address- able input devices.
The CZI Series models are available for Style 4 (Class B) or Style 6 (Class A) wiring. For each of these wiring classes the CZI modules have individual models for either a “high” or “low” detector current version.

The models and their description are:

• CZI-L2S:: Low current unit Style 4 (Class B) for use with conventional shorting type initiating devices (i.e., manual stations, thermal detectors).
• CZI-L4S:: Same as CZI-L2S except it is for Style 6 (Class A) wiring.

• Both modules have a header (i.e., a male connector for a femal pin wire connector). The wire connector from the GAD is fastened to a user supplied LED graphic panel.
• The wire connector from the RRD is fastened to a user supplied UL listed relay unit.

Generic Automatic/Manual Switch Control Module — GenCon

• The GenCon, generic automatic/manual switch control module is designed for use with the IXL fire alarm system. Each GenCon module allows the user to manually or automatically control up to eight switches.
• The IXL can support up to four GenCon module for a total switch control capacity of thirty-two switches.
• The GenCon module is designed to fit into the GenBox enclosure. Up to four GenCon modules will fit in a Gen-Box enclosure.
• The most common application for the GenCon is for HVAC fan and damper control. However, any condition requiring a generic automatic/manual-off/manual-on switch can be supported with the GenCon module.
• For HVAC applications, the GenCon is used together with one or two CE control elements. When an initiating device transmits an alarm to the IXL panel, based on the software configuration program, the panel sends a message to the GenCon and respective control element modules. The IXL system that signals an “automatic” switch function condi-tion. Also, the corresponding control element switches its relay state to directly or indirectly activate or deactivate a fan or damper or other device.
• If, as required, a firefighter or responsible individual can access the GenBox. The GenCon’s switch can be manu-ally changed to the OFF or ON position. When a switch is changed, the IXL signals a particularly programmed control element to change state to affect directly or indirectly a fan or damper or other device.
