Hello there

 

I maintain the fire systems within a very large facility. In one of the buildings we have a Minerva MXC fire panel (The type with the plactic case) Unfortunatly the panel enable key has broken the plastic switch. This means that the only way to reset the system after an alarm is to down power the panel.

 

Ive heard that there is a way of enabling the keypad, with a number of key presses, is this correct? If so would anybody be able to send me the sequence?

 

We are hoping to replace the panel with a newer model with the metal casing to ensure this does not happen again, but due to the time it takes to complete change control procedures, we need a way of access the old panel until the new panel is installed.

 

Regards

 

Dan

Its 12321,

Thanks for the quick reply, that must be a different MXC panel.

 

our panel looks like this https://www.tycoemea.com/English/products/fire/minervapanels/minervamxc.asp

 

Our panel only has "accept, silence, reset and evac buttons. no numbers.

Is it the one with the 3 grey buttons next to the key slot

correct, see link above.

Those 3 grey buttons are the code ones,mark them 123 then type 12321 that enables the panel

ah ok, thanks alot for that!

 

how do you then deactivate the buttons after you have silence reset etc?
