Answer:
The DXc4 supports System Sensor protocol (up to 198 devices per loop: 99 sensors plus 99 modules/MCPs/AV units), Apollo XP95/Discovery/Xplorer (up to 126 devices per loop), and Hochiki ESP (up to 126 devices per loop). System Sensor Agile wireless devices are supported on firmware 1.30 or higher; only one protocol can be active across the panel at a time.
The Honeywell Morley-IAS DXc4 is a multi-protocol control panel engineered to interface with major addressable fire detection protocols. Only one protocol can be configured and active within the panel across all 4 loops simultaneously:
- System Sensor Protocol: Supports up to 198 addressable devices per loop, divided into 99 sensors/detectors plus 99 modules, call points, or AV devices, allowing up to 792 total addressable devices across the 4 loops. System Sensor Agile wireless devices are supported on panels running DXc firmware version 1.30 and above.
- Apollo Protocol: Supports Apollo Xplorer, XP95, and Discovery protocol devices up to 126 total addressable devices per loop (up to 504 devices across 4 loops).
- Hochiki Protocol: Supports Hochiki ESP protocol devices up to 126 addressable devices per loop.
For system peripheral communication, the panel incorporates an onboard RS485 port dedicated to connecting Morley Active Repeaters (709-601-001) and Morley Passive Repeaters (709-701-001). Peer-to-peer networking with up to 16 total loops requires installing the optional DXc network card (part number 795-099). Third-party system interfaces can be integrated using the optional RS232 kit (795-122).
