•INX-10A
Mircom’s INX-10A is an Intelligent NAC
expander/power supply that is
compatible with the FX-2000 Series
Intelligent fire alarm control panels.
Available in a 10 Amp configuration, the
INX-10A can extend the power
capabilities of existing notification
appliance circuits as well as provide
power for other ancillary devices.
 Intelligent INX-10A NAC Expander
• 10 Amp output
• 120 / 240V operation
• Easily configured using DIP switches
• One isolated input (SLC) from the host panel
• Five Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) synchronized
output circuits
• DC regulated outputs
• Configurable AC Power fail delay
• Ground fault enable or disable
• Option available on configuration to enable or disable the
battery charger on activation
 Intelligent INX-10A NAC Expander
• From 7 to 15 Address functions (Combination of inputs
and outputs) depending on application
• Outputs individually controllable
• Separate Relay for Ground Fault and Common Trouble
available on terminals
• Horn/Strobe synchronization protocols include Amseco,
Gentex, System Sensor, Mircom, Secutron and
Wheelock
• 2-wire horn/strobe Sync mode allows audible notification
appliances (horns) to be silenced while visual notification
appliances (strobes) continue to operate
 Intelligent INX-10A NAC Expander
• Audible signals may be configured for Steady, Temporal
Code, California Code and March Time
• Output circuits four and five can be configured to provide
auxiliary power for four-wire detectors or door holders.
• Canadian two stage operation
• Output fault notification to FACP
• 2.5 Amp max. current per output
• Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries

• NAC (Output) Circuits Types
• Signal
– For audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns. While sounding, these
follow the pattern appropriate for the condition;
– the configured Evacuation Code (default is Temporal Code) during Single-Stage
Alarm
– Two-Stage General Alarm
– or the Alert Code during Two-Stage’s Alert (First) Stage.
• Strobe
– For visual devices such as strobes that use no code pattern (they are
continuous) and follow input contact.
• Synchronized Strobes
– For visual devices such as strobes that support Mircom/Amseco, System Sensor,
Gentex, Wheelock proprietary code patterns, configure to the appropriate
pattern.
• DC Power Supply
– Uses no code pattern (they are continuous) and cannot be silenced. Configured
via DIP switches and is not allocated an SLC address.
