MGC MIX-4003-S Sounder Base Instruction Manual
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is included as a quick reference for installation and should be
left with the owner/operator of this equipment. For further information on the
use of this device with a FACP, please refer to the panel’s manual.
Note: This manual should be left with the owner/operator of this equipment.
SOUNDER BASE DESCRIPTION
The MIX-4003-S sounder base horn is designed to meet UL268/ULC S529 requirements for smoke detector, UL521/ULC S530 requirements for heat detector, and UL464/ULC S525 requirements for audible notification appliances.
The MGC MIX-4003-S is providing localized alarm sounding capability for the
MIX-4000 family of fire detection devices. They can be used in place of
external sounders to minimize installation cost and footprint while allowing
individual control of signal rate and on-off state for each device. The
MIX-4003-S must be used with a compatible MGC control panel. Operational mode
and levels are selected at the Fire alarm panel through the MGC MP
configuration tool.
The MIX-4003-S produces an alarm signal at SPL of Table 2.
KEY COMPONENT
A mounting plate in figure 2 is mounted first on the electrical box and all
wiring is done on integral screw connectors. The connections are apparent and
can be visually inspected before the sounder base itself is mounted. Then, the
enclosure containing the electronics, the sounder and the detector base can
plugged-in and secured.
Note: This device should be installed as per applicable requirements of the
authorities having jurisdiction.
WIRING
Before installing this device seek guidance from the compatible control panel instructions for the device operation modes and the configuration requirements. It is recommended to remove power from SLC and NAC lines before performing installation.
Use the information in this document to determine the total current draw of the devices. The total current draw of the devices must not exceed the NAC output capacity of the panel. In all cases, the installer should consider the voltage drop to ensure that the last device on the circuit operates within its rated voltage. Please consult fire panel installation manual for guidance on wire resistance and length. For maximum strobe operating current, please refer to Table 4.
Do not loop signal circuit field wires around terminals. Electrical supervision requires wire run to be broken at each end.
Note: Wiring must be in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, section 32 and/or NFPA
70.
CAUTION FOR SYSTEM SUPERVISION, FOR ALL TERMINAL TAPS, DO NOT USE LOOPED
WIRE UNDER TERMINALS. BREAK WIRE RUN TO PROVIDE SUPERVISION OF CONNECTIONS.
ATTENTION NE PAS UTILISER DE FILS EN BOUCLE SOUS LES BORNES. POUR FOURNIR
UN BON SUIVI DES CONNEXIONS. INTERROMPRE LA CONTIUITÉ DES CÂBLES.
MOUNTING
MGC recommends spacing speaker strobe appliances in compliance with CAN/ULC S524 and/or NFPA72.
The mounting plate is compatible with 3″ by 2″ single gang device boxes, 3-3/4″ by 4″ double gang boxes, 4″ by 2″ single gang utility boxes, standard 4″ by 4″ boxes, and standard 4″ octagon boxes.
- Attach the mounting plate to electrical box with two mounting #8-32 x 3/4″ screws.
- Slide down the sounder base enclosure until the connection blades touch the clips on the mounting plate.
- Secure the mounting plate with securing M3 x25 mm screws.
MOUNTING DETECTOR
If the detector type and address has be visible from the outside, break the address tab inside the detector base and insert it in the outer rim of the base. See figures 7.
The detector can then be placed on the top base using the following steps (figure 8):
- Position the detector centrally on its adapter base ensuring it is level.
- Rotate clockwise applying gentle pressure. The detector will drop into its keyed location.
- Continue to rotate clockwise a few degrees until the detector has fully engaged in the adapter base.
- When the detector is firmly engaged, check the alignment of the raised reference marks on the detector and on the base (figure 9).
AUDIBLE RATINGS
OPERATING RMS CURRENTS
The sounder base is capable of producing a variety of tone patterns, including the distinctive three-pulse temporal pattern (ANSI Temporal 3) fire alarm signal now required by NFPA 72 for commercial and residential applications and is configured in this default mode. The device offers two volume levels: low and high. The available tones are Continuous, ANSI Temporal 3, 20 BPM, and March. Refer to the appropriate fire alarm control panel manual for more information on selection of these tones. NOTE: For NFPA 72 Installations, the Temporal 3 tone at high volume should be used for emergency and public mode evacuation. The use of other tone styles and low volume level will be at the discretion of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
