Summary
The Minimax FMX5000 UV MX (926628) is a UV flame detector built for spotting typical fires fast in the toughest industrial environments, from petrochemical plants to warehousing with high-risk processes. If you’re specifying detection for a site where standard smoke or heat detectors won’t cut it, this gives you a robust, purpose-built option that stands up to knocks, dust and washdown.

For you on site, it means fewer callbacks: the built-in UV optic test continuously checks the detector’s own functional characteristics, so faults get flagged before they become a problem. Wiring is straightforward as a conventional 2-wire detector, and if the project grows, you can expand it to a loop-based system later using the KMX5000 AP communication module rather than swapping out the detector entirely.
It’s specified to EN 54-10 and carries VdS and CE approvals under the Minimax brand, giving you a solid basis for compliance sign-off on commercial and industrial fire schemes.
Features
- UV optic self-test – a microcontroller continuously checks the detector’s functional characteristics so you catch faults before they cause a false confidence problem
- High immunity to false alarms – resists triggering from storms, lightning or strong sunlight, cutting nuisance callouts on exposed industrial sites
- Fault indication on detector or separate line – gives you flexibility in how you route diagnostics back to the panel or a remote point
- Service interface and history memory – speeds up fault-finding and routine servicing without guesswork
- Expandable to Loop AP protocol – add the KMX5000 AP communication module later to bring this conventional detector onto a loop system
- Remote indicator connection – lets you site a visible alarm indication where the detector itself is out of view
- Wide operating temperature range – rated -40°C to +80°C, so it holds up in extreme hot or cold plant environments
- Diecast aluminium enclosure with IP66/67 rating – built to survive dust, washdown and rough handling on industrial sites
FAQ
Out of the box, the FMX5000 UV MX (926628) is a conventional 2-wire detector. If you need it on a loop, add the KMX5000 AP communication module to bring it onto the Loop AP protocol without changing the detector itself. The UniVario base, mounting bracket and terminating resistor aren’t included in the box, so you’ll need to add those separately along with any optional weather protection, remote indicator or relay module your design calls for. Minimax recommends JY(St)Y 2x2x0.8mm cable, with a maximum conductor cross-section of 2.5mm² across the standard connection, the additional fault line and external indication runs, all of which are 2-wire. Alarms are shown by a red LED with an alarm current of around 15mA, while faults use a separate yellow LED at a similar current draw, and normal operation is confirmed by a flashing green LED. Faults can also be reported back on a separate line rather than only at the detector. Yes, it’s rated IP66/67 in a diecast aluminium enclosure, operates from -40°C to +80°C and tolerates up to 95% relative humidity without condensation, which covers most exposed industrial and process locations. For particularly wet or wash-down heavy areas, check whether the optional weather protection accessory is worth adding. It’s specified to EN 54-10 and, under the Minimax branding used for order code 926628, carries VdS approval (G 206132) and CE marking (0786-CPR-20286). Confirm with the manufacturer if your project needs additional country-specific approvals beyond these.Can I run this on a loop system?
