2. Remove the nuts, flat washers, and lock washers (4 places) from
the PMK-1 bracket. Remove the bracket from the enclosure.
(See Figure 3).
3. Remove knockouts in the backbox where field wiring is required.
(Refer to Wiring to the PSE-1 on page 26.)
4. Hold the empty enclosure against the wall at the designated
height.
5. Mark drill points on the wall in the center of the two slots on the
upper rear of the box (Refer to Figure 2).
6. Drill the two holes and screw in the top bolts, leaving a small gap
between the wall and each top bolt.
7. Mount the enclosure on the two bolts and then install the bottom
bolts.
8. Tighten all bolts securely against the back wall of the enclosure.

NOTES:
When two Model PPS-10M power supplies are used in a PXL System:
1. Cut Jumper JP3 on the second PPS-10M.
2. Disable TB5 on the second PPS-10M.
3. Cut and remove the red wires from the 15" cable in the PCK-1 kit
(P/N 500-695066) when connecting between the two PPS-10Ms.

1. Plug one end of the power/data cable, P/N 555-194066, shipped
with the PPS-10M into JP2 of the PPS-10M. The other end
connects to JP7 of the PCM-1 after that module is installed.
NOTE: If the PRM-4 and PNC-2Z are not used in your system
configuration, no further connections are necessary at
this time.
2. Plug one end the power/data cable, P/N 555-194066, shipped
with the PRM-4 into JP1 of the PRM-4 and the other end into JP1
of the PPS-10M.
3. Plug one end of the power/data cable, P/N 555-194066, shipped

Firmware Revisions
This manual references PXL firmware Revision 4.0. Make note of the
following information for proper system operation:
PXL systems containing two PPS-10M power supply modules
must use PXL firmware Revision 3.0 or higher and PPS-10M
firmware Revision 2.0 or higher.
PXL systems using the CANADA country code selections described below must use PCM-1 and PZE-4B firmware Revision
3.0 or higher.
PXL systems used as Remote Supervising Station Fire Alarm
systems must use PXL firmware Revision 4.0 or higher.

SYSTEM STARTUP
When power is applied to the System for the first time, the power
light on the PCM-1 turns on and the System displays the following
question:
DO YOU WANT TO
CONFIGURE THE
SYSTEM NOW ?
<NO
YES>
Answering YES, by pressing the appropriate key on the user interface, starts the Automatic System Configuration mode. This mode
steps the user through every System programming option with a
minimum of instruction. Figure 22 shows how the Automatic System
Configuration mode is mapped out.

Alarm Verification
The Alarm Verification Feature provides the PXL with a way to verify
an alarm from area-type smoke detectors. This feature can be used
to reduce incidences of false alarms. Alarm verification is selected by
zone.
A detector supervised with Alarm Verification is turned off by the
System immediately after it reaches an alarm threshold. The detector
is verified for a length of time which must not exceed 60 seconds.
After power is restored to the device, and for the next 60 seconds, if
the detector once again reaches the alarm threshold the system will
report an alarm condition. If after 60 seconds the detector has not
alarmed, any detector which again reaches the alarm threshold will
restart the verification cycle. See Figure 24 for a graphic illustration
of the Alarm Verification Time cycle.
CAUTION:
Use only detectors which are subjected to air velocities of less than
100 feet per minute with Alarm Verification. Under dynamic air
velocity conditions, smoke may be swept from a smoke detector
after the initial alarm. That may cause a long delay before verification. Do not select Alarm Verification for such applications.

Generic Zone
The Generic zone is activated (or alarmed) by the output from another control panel. This output should be made with a contact
device connected across the Generic zone. When activated, it
causes the notification appliance circuits to sound and the appropriate initiating Zone LED to light. When the input is deactivated, the
NACs will silence regardless of any inhibit timer. The System alarm
contacts do not change state. Do not map Generic zones to nonsilenceable bell circuits.
Reset Zone
The Reset zone is activated by a contact device such as the Space
Age Electronics Model DM4 shorting the zone. A momentary contact
closure will cause the PXL System to reset.

SYSTEM TEST
Important:
If the System is connected to the Fire Department, or activates an
external System (for example, a leased line connection), disarm
the related outputs before servicing to prevent activation. Notify
persons in the facility that you are conducting a System test so that
they can ignore any alarms that sound during testing. Be sure to
reset the System at the end of the inspection.
To ensure maximum safety, follow the procedure described below.
To ensure proper and reliable operation, we recommend the following inspection and testing schedule:
Every Year
1. Check that the System operates in accordance with
specifications.
2. Perform any other applicable tests required by national or local
fire codes.

Remote Surpevising Station Fire Alarm
System
OPERATION
The PXL reports system conditions using the Silent Knight Model
5128/5129, a four channel digital communicator that reports alarm,
trouble, supervisory, and miscellaneous status. When used with the
PXL, the Silent Knight Model 5128/5129 uses the alarm, trouble, and
supervisory channels. The miscellaneous status channel may be
used to annunciate conditions other than fire.
INSTALLATION
Remove all system power before installation, first battery and
then AC. (To power up, connect the AC first and then the battery.)
Mounting
Silent Knight Model 5128
Mount the Silent Knight Model 5128 within the PXL enclosure as
shown in Figure 26. When mounting the unit in either the PSE-1 or
PSE-2 enclosure, place the Silent Knight Model 5128 between the
knockouts on the top of the right-hand side of the panel. Alternate
mounting for the Silent Knight 5128 may include double-sided tape,
velcro, or snaptrack.

Electrical
The PXL Control Panel connects to the Silent Knight Model 5128/5129
Digital Fire Communicator using the Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory dry
contacts on the PXL Main Board.
In NFPA 72 Central Station connections, AC fail reporting is delayed.
The delay is typically 6 hours. Only the reporting of the trouble is delayed.
In NFPA 72 Remote Station connections, provide 60 hour back up
battery capacity.

NOTES:
1. Four EOLRs (P/N 140-820388) are not

2. For Remote Station, provide 60 hour back
up battery capacity.

PROGRAMMING
The Silent Knight Model 5230 LCD Keypad Programmer can be connected temporarily to Pin
P4 on the Silent Knight 5128 Main Board (See Figure 27) for on-site programming or troubleshooting of the communicator. English language messages assist in entering data, changing
the 24-hour test time, and describing conditions currently in effect.
Table 15 lists the recommended program for the Silent Knight 5128/5129 Digital Fire Communicator. Before you begin programming, read the Step Programming Form in the Silent
Knight Model 5128/5129 Fire Slave Communicator Installation Manual, August, 1994, P/N
150805, provided with the Silent Knight 5128/5129.
