Mircom MIX-100S Intelligent Addressable Supervised Control Module

The Mircom MIX-100S Intelligent Addressable Supervised Control Module provides supervised control of notification and signaling circuits for compatible Mircom addressable fire alarm systems. It is designed to monitor wiring to externally powered signal devices such as horns, strobes, bells, and speaker isolators.

As part of Mircom’s MIX-100 Series Alpha intelligent addressable modules, the MIX-100S combines addressable communication with supervised output control. This design makes it suitable for professional fire alarm applications requiring controlled activation of conventional notification appliances or speakers.

Intelligent Supervised Control

The Mircom MIX-100S supervises the wiring connected to compatible signaling devices. Conventional notification appliances require an external 24 VDC regulated power source, while speaker applications can use a 70.7 V RMS audio source.

When activated by the compatible fire alarm control system, the module switches the connected signaling circuit. A red LED provides visual indication of module activity.

Class A or Class B Supervision

A key advantage of the MIX-100S is its ability to support different supervised circuit configurations. The module is capable of Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) supervision for its controlled output circuit.

This flexibility allows technicians to configure the module according to the requirements of the approved fire alarm system design.

Addressable Operation

The Mircom MIX-100S is individually addressable, allowing the compatible fire alarm control panel to identify and control the module through the addressable system.

Mircom specifies that MIX-100 Series modules can be addressed from 1 to 126 using an eight-position DIP switch. The series is designed for use with Mircom FX-350 Series fire alarm control panels.

The MIX-100S can also support group operation, allowing multiple supervised control modules to be activated simultaneously when properly configured.

External Power and Audio Support

The MIX-100S is designed for applications where the controlled devices require an external source of power. For conventional signaling appliances, Mircom specifies a 24 VDC regulated source. Speaker applications can use a 70.7 V RMS audio input.

Therefore, the module can serve as an addressable interface between the fire alarm control system and externally powered notification or audio circuits.

Red LED Status Indicator

The Mircom MIX-100S includes a red LED indicator. The LED provides visual feedback during module operation and illuminates when the module activates the controlled signaling circuit.

This indication can help technicians during system commissioning, inspection, testing, and troubleshooting.

Commercial Fire Alarm Applications

The MIX-100S can support a variety of commercial and institutional fire alarm installations. Typical applications may include offices, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, industrial properties, government buildings, and other facilities using compatible Mircom addressable fire alarm equipment.

The module is particularly useful when an addressable system needs to supervise and activate conventional notification appliances or speaker circuits through an externally supplied power or audio source.

System Compatibility

Before using the Mircom MIX-100S, technicians should confirm compatibility with the specific Mircom fire alarm control system and verify the electrical requirements of the connected notification or speaker circuit.

The MIX-100 Series literature identifies the modules for use with FX-350 Series Fire Alarm Control Panels. Mircom has also published an end-of-life/last-time-buy notice covering the FX-350/351 series and associated parts, including the MIX-100S, so system age and replacement requirements should be considered when sourcing this module.

Qualified fire alarm professionals should configure and test the module according to the approved system design, applicable codes, and current Mircom technical documentation.

Overall, the Mircom MIX-100S Intelligent Addressable Supervised Control Module provides flexible supervised control for conventional notification appliances and speaker circuits. Its Class A/Class B capability, addressable operation, external power support, and compact design make it a practical component for compatible Mircom fire alarm systems.
