1.4 TERMINOLOGY
AAR Analogue Addressable Responder.
AC Alternating Current.
ACZ Ancillary Control Zone.
ADR Advanced Detector Responder.
Analogue Loop The wiring that allows an MXP to communicate with and
supply power to the addressable devices it is to monitor.
ARR Advanced Relay (and Detector) Responder, which is an ADR
fitted with an RRM.

NO Normally Open.
PCB Printed Circuit Board.
Point Any addressable device (detector or module) with a unique
address that is connected to the analogue addressable loop.
PSU Power Supply Unit.
Responder A general term for all responder types, e.g. ADR, ARR, MPR,
MXP, AAR and IOR that may be connected to the MX4428
Loop.
Responder Loop A 4 core cable for communication and power to all responders
connected to an MX4428 FIP.
ROR Rate of Rise.
RF Radio Frequency.
RRM Responder Relay Module.
RZDU Remote Zone Display Unit.
