Consilium Change Over Mx Module

What is the Consilium Change Over MX Module?

Consilium’s Change Over MX Module is an interface module designed for use in advanced fire detection and safety systems. The module manages changeover functions between operational modes or different device states, allowing smooth and reliable switching of circuits, signals, or alarm conditions.

It is used primarily within Consilium’s Marine Safety Systems and specifically in the MX series fire detection panels and distributed safety networks.

Its role is key in ensuring that if one system element has to switch-out due to maintenance, alerts, or operational requirements, it does so seamlessly without affecting monitoring or alarm integrity.

In simple terms, the module acts like an intelligent switching bridge that provides dependability to the system in mission-critical environments.
