 1 Introduction

The Termination / Utility Enclosures provide alternative housings for:

- mounting of DIN Rail terminals for field wiring termination
- mounting of additional peripheral bus modules
- mounting of batteries

The enclosures are available in three sizes compatible with the Mx-5000 Medium, Large and Deep Fire Panel
enclosures.
Each enclosure comprises of a back box and cover.
A gland plate and alternative shim plate are supplied allowing the enclosure to be mounted above, below or
away from the fire panel. The gland plate fits at the bottom of the enclosure and can be drilled to provide the
required number of cable entry points. Alternatively, it can be replaced by the shim plate to enable fitting of the
enclosure directly above the fire panel.
Knockouts are provided in the top and top rear of the enclosure. The number provided is the same as for the
equivalent fire alarm panel enclosure.

1.2 Gland Plate

The gland plate is fixed to the bottom of the enclosure with screws.
It is provided with centre marks to allow gland entry holes to be drilled as required.

1.3 Shim Plate

If the enclosure is mounted directly above the panel, remove the gland plate and replace with the shim plate.
This shim plate is designed so that the enclosure can be mounted directly onto the top of the fire panel and
provides the necessary spacing for mounting the cover and for closure of the fire panel door.
The shim plate provides a clear entry area at the bottom of the enclosure for all interconnecting wiring. Remove
the required knockouts in the fire panel enclosure and fit the supplied grommets.

 1.4 Termination Enclosure
1.4.1 Medium Enclosure
The Medium enclosure is pre-fitted with 30 DIN Rail terminal blocks in addition to dedicated AC Mains terminal
block positions. Additional terminal blocks can be installed if required. Earth / Screen termination bus bars are
provided for the cable screens.

When installing wiring, maintain segregation between the AC Mains wiring and othe wiring and use the
appropriate / equivalent knockout positions in the Mx-5000 Fire Panel enclosure.
1.4.2 Large / Deep Enclosure
The Large and Deep enclosures are pre-fitted with 50 DIN Rail terminal blocks in addition to dedicated AC
Mains terminal block positions. Earth / Screen termination busbars are provided for the cable screens.

When installing wiring, maintain segregation between the AC Mains wiring and other wiring and use the
appropriate / equivalent knockout positions in the Mx-5000 Fire Panel enclosure.

1.4.3 Mounting on top of panel
The termination enclosure is designed to mount directly to the top of the fire panel enclosure. Use the shim plate
to provide easier access for wiring and to maintain the correct distance between the enclosures for fitting /
closing of the cover / door.
Remove the required knockouts from the top of the fire panel and fit the supplied grommets.
An example of the large / deep panel is shown below:

1.4.4 Mounting away from the panel

The termination enclosure can be mounted away from the fire panel if required.
Use the gland plate in this application. Drill the gland plate and fit the required glands for the wiring.

 1.5 Battery Enclosure
To use the utility enclosure as a battery enclosure, mount the enclosure beneath the fire panel enclosure.
Remove one or two knockouts in the top of the enclosure and the equivalent knockouts in the bottom of the fire
panel enclosure. Fit the supplied grommets.
Mount the enclosure so that there is a gap of 5mm between the back boxes of the enclosure and the fire panel.
This ensures that the cover can be fitted and that the fire panel door can be closed.
Fit and use the Mxp-501 Remote Temperature Sensor to ensure that the batteries are charged at the correct
charging voltage in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification.

1.6 Utility Enclosure and Chassis
The large and deep enclosures can be used to mount peripheral bus modules. Mount the enclosure above the
panel, using the shim plate, as in the termination enclosure.

Chassis Plate Fixing Screws and pillars

To mount the chassis plate, fit the supplied M4 washers and then M4 pillars to the studs in the back box and
tighten. Insert 2x screws to the outer two pillars and hang the chassis plate via the two key-holes and tighten.
The centre screw is supplied for transit fixing only – it is not required for general use.
Fit the required peripheral bus modules onto the chassis with the screws supplied with the module. An example
arrangement is shown below:

Standard panel wiring field wiring can be routed underneath the chassis. Maintain segregation between AC
Mains and other wiring.
If required, the chassis plate can also be fitted to the termination enclosure option. In this case, replace the DIN
Rail fixings with the supplied pillars. Complete all other panel field wiring to the terminal blocks and then mount
the chassis plate.
