MX Addressable Bases

Ideal for projects requiring a loop-powered, software addressable approach

The Simplex MX interface delivers exceptional capability and flexibility by enabling a powered loop architecture that supports loop‑powered sensors, bases, notification appliances, and peripherals. Compatible with Simplex fire alarm control units, MX interface cards provide loop power along with device communication, monitoring, supervision, and control for up to 250 addressable initiating devices or notification appliances per loop. Multiple MX Loop Interface Modules can be added to expand system capacity and increase the number of available loops. This architecture combines the strength of Simplex networking, graphical workstations, and audio capabilities with approved MX peripherals. MX sensors feature soft addressing and can be paired with a full range of bases—including standard bases (with or without isolation), sounder bases, and sounder‑beacon bases—supporting diverse application needs. Together, MX sensors and bases provide a scalable, flexible solution capable of meeting fire protection requirements for virtually any environment.

Features

Loop-powered, addressable sensors: Power, control and supervision of sensors is delivered via a single loop, reducing wiring, and simplifying installation.
Wide range of options: Choose from photo, heat and CO sensors; bases with and without isolation; loop-powered sounder bases; single and dual I/O modules; relay, signal, monitor and separate line-powered isolator modules; indoor and outdoor break glass call points; single- and dual-action manual stations.
Can be paired with a comprehensive range of bases

Soft addressing: Device addresses are stored in the sensor head and programming can be changed from the control unit or using a QR code and mobile phone app.
Appealing design: Low profile and sleek contoured design help the devices blend into a facility’s environment.
