What is included with the MXS-501-CP-S?
The MXS-501-CP-S includes the MX-5100 basecard, small chassis mounting plate, and 3A power supply unit. It is supplied pre-programmed but does not include loop driver cards, which must be ordered and installed separately.
Are loop cards included with this spare basecard?
No, the MXS-501-CP-S is supplied without loop driver cards. Loop cards must be ordered separately according to your specific system requirements and protocol needs (e.g., Apollo, Hochiki).
What is the difference between MXS-501-CP-S and MXS-501-CP-M?
The MXS-501-CP-S includes a small chassis suitable for compact enclosures, while the MXS-501-CP-M includes a medium chassis for larger enclosure installations. Both are for the MX-5100 single loop panel but differ in chassis size.
What is the difference between MXS-501-CP-S and MXS-501-PCB?
The MXS-501-CP-S includes the basecard mounted on a small chassis with an integrated 3A power supply unit. The MXS-501-PCB is the basecard PCB only, without chassis or power supply, suitable for situations where the existing chassis and PSU can be reused.
Is the MXS-501-CP-S pre-programmed?
Yes, the MXS-501-CP-S is supplied pre-programmed and ready for installation. However, site-specific configuration may still be required after installation to match the existing system setup.
Which MX-5100 panels is this spare compatible with?
The MXS-501-CP-S is designed as a spare component for all MX-5100 single loop fire alarm control panels that use the small chassis configuration within the MxPro 5 Series.
What power supply rating does this spare include?
The MXS-501-CP-S includes a 3A power supply unit, which is the standard PSU rating for the MX-5100 single loop panel. Higher capacity PSUs (4A for MX-5200, 5A for MX-5400) are available for other panel models.
Can I order just the power supply separately?
Yes, if only the power supply unit needs replacement, you can order the MXS-501-PSU, which is the 3A PSU for the MX-5100 without the printed circuit board or chassis.
Why would I need this spare basecard?
The MXS-501-CP-S is used for replacing a failed or damaged MX-5100 basecard, during planned system upgrades, or as a critical spare to minimize system downtime. Having spares available ensures rapid restoration of fire alarm system operation in critical situations.
What other spares are available for the MxPro 5 Series?
Advanced Electronics offers a comprehensive range of spares including basecards for other panel sizes (MX-5200, MX-5400), PCB-only options, PSU-only options, LCD display cards, remote terminal cards, peripheral network cards, panel keys, spares kits, fascia plates, and PC connection leads.
