Product Information

MIX-4010 Photo Electric Smoke Detector

• The MIX-4010 smoke detector is a fully digital communication device that continuously checks air obscuration and reports it to the Fire-Alarm panel. It is designed to be used with a MIX-4000 series compatible control panel. The detector is equipped with a bi-directional short-circuit isolator (MIX-4010-ISO) to protect against wiring faults. It also has a remote output feature that can be controlled by the panel. Please refer to the specifications for compatible devices that can utilize the remote output feature.
• The detector operates within a voltage range of 15 to 30VDC. The maximum alarm current when the LED is on is 3.2mA, and the standby current with the LED flashing is 160A. The temperature range for operation is not specified, but the humidity range is 10% to 93% non-condensing. The dimensions of the detector are 4 1/4 inches in diameter and 1 3/4 inches in height. It requires a 4 square by 2 1/8 deep box for mounting. The wiring range on all terminals is 22 to 12 AWG.
• The MIX-4010 smoke detector has three LED colors to indicate different states: Alarm (red steady on), Air Sampling (green flash), and Fault (yellow steady on). It also has four sensitivity levels: Level 1 (most sensitive), Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 (least sensitive).

Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installing the MIX-4010 smoke detector, thoroughly read the manual and refer to applicable codes for guidance on location, spacing, and acceptable use.
2. Ensure that you have a MIX-4000 series compatible control panel to use with the detector.
3. Connect the detector to the control panel using the wiring the diagram is shown in Figure 2 for detector wiring and Figure 3 for loop wiring.
4. When installing the detector, follow these steps:
5. Remove the detector from its packaging.
6. Align the raised reference marks on the detector and the base (refer to Figure 4).
7. Insert the detector into the adaptor base, rotating it clockwise until it is fully engaged.
8. Ensure that the detector is firmly engaged in the base.
9. If you are using the remote indicator, make sure the voltage value of the detector is at least 18V, as the indicators do not operate below 18V.
10. Once installed, refer to the compatible control panel instructions for information on the device operation modes and configuration requirements.

Please note that for more detailed information on installation, maintenance, testing, spacing, and locating detectors, refer to the LT-9420 MIX-4000 series detector technical bulletin.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

• This manual is included as a quick reference for installation. For further information on the use of this device with a FACP, please refer to the panel’s manual. For more information regarding maintenance, testing, spacing, and locating detectors, please refer to the LT-9420 MIX-4000 series detector technical bulletin.
• Note: This manual should be left with the owner/operator of this equipment.

DETECTOR DESCRIPTION

• The MIX-4010 smoke detector continuously checks air obscuration and reports it to the Fire-Alarm panel using a fully digital communication protocol. The MIX-4010 must be used with a MIX-4000 series compatible control panel. Obscuration level is selected at the Fire alarm panel through the panel configuration tool. It also has a remote output that can be controlled by the panel. Please see specifications for compatible devices that can use the remote output feature.
• Note: MIX-4010-ISO is equipped with a bi-directional short-circuit isolator to help protect against wiring faults that may otherwise result in a loop failure.
• Note: Detectors with built-in isolators (ending with -ISO) will add some resistance to the SLC loop: The total allowable loop resistance must be reduced by 0.22 Ohms for each device with a built-in isolator.
• Before installing this device please thoroughly read this manual and refer to the applicable codes for guidance on location, spacing and acceptable use. Also seek guidance from the compatible control panel instructions for the device operation modes and the configuration requirements.
• Note: If the detector is used with the remote indicator, then the voltage value of the detector must be at least 18V as the indicators do not operate below 18V.

INSTALLATION

• This detector must be installed on a ceiling or wall using a compatible base. SLC line and remote output connections for the most common base MIX-4001 are show in figure 2. A twisted pair cable should be used for the SLC line. If a shielded cabled is used, connect the shields to the proper terminal on the base. Do not connect shields to earth ground. If a ground continuity wire is required by the local code, it should be a separate conductor. Please note that shielded cables may reduce the SLC loop length that can be achieved due to their high capacitance.
• The detector address should be programmed using the MIX-4090 handheld device before inserting the detector on the base. Addresses 1 to 240 can be used for any device on a SLC loop. Each device on a loop must have a unique address.
• A breakaway tab inside the base can be inserted in the outer rim of the base to visibly identify each detector with their address. See figures 2 and

The detector can then be placed on the base using the following steps:

1. Position the detector centrally on its adapter base ensuring it is level.
2. Rotate clockwise applying gentle pressure. The detector will drop into its keyed location.
3. Continue to rotate clockwise a few degrees until the detector has fully engaged in the adaptor base.
4. When the detector is firmly engaged, check the alignment of the raised reference marks on the detector and on the base (figure 4).

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DETECTOR INSTALLATION
Disconnect loop power before installing the detector. This detector comes with a dust cover to protect the device during shipping and when first installed. It is not intended to provide complete protection against contamination, therefore, detectors should be removed from their base before construction, major re-decoration or other dust producing work is started. Dust covers must be removed before the system becomes operational.
Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
When duplicate terminals are not provided to facilitate monitoring of the installation wiring connections, and there is no provision to prevent looping an unbroken wire around or under a terminal, the word “CAUTION” and the following or equivalent text in letters not less than 2.38 mm (3/32 inch) high shall be included on the installation drawing: “FOR SYSTEM MONITORING – FOR TERMINALS “Loop out (+)” AND “Remote Device (+)”, DO NOT USE LOOPED WIRE UNDER TERMINALS. BREAK WIRE RUN TO PROVIDE MONITORING OF CONNECTIONS.
