AUXILIARY MODULES
Serial LCD Annunciators
The RDC-2 Serial LCD Annunciator consists of a backlit 80 character (20 x 4) alphanumeric
LCD display, 4 menu buttons, 4 dedicated buttons for operator interface, 6 LED indicators and
a security key switch. The display and controls of the RDC-2 are the same as those on the
front of the MPC-7000 and RND-2 panels, including a key switch for security. The backlight
activates only during active button press or when events are present in the system to conserve
power. The RDC-2 can be installed in RND-2 and MPC-7000 panels. It can also be installed in
the MPC-6000 panel provided that the Releasing application features are not used.
The RDC-3 Serial LCD annunciator consists of a backlit 80 character (20 x 4) alphanumeric
LDC display, 4 menu buttons, 4 dedicated buttons for operator interface, 9 LED indicators and
a security key switch. The display and controls of the RDC-3 are the same as those on the
front of the MPC-6000 panel including a key switch for security. The backlight activates only
during active button press or when events are present on the system to conserve power. The
RDC-3 can be installed in MPC-6000 panels with releasing application only.
Up to sixteen annunciators may be addressed by the communication circuit. Some may require
additional RSE-300 auxiliary power supplies depending on the total accessory power loading.
Serial Relay Unit and Serial Relay Extender
The SRU-2 Serial Relay Unit includes a processor board and a relay board. The processor board
receives commands from the control unit for activating the relays and transmits supervision
and control functions to the control unit. The processor board can control up to 3 SRE-8 relay
boards. Each relay board provides 8 programmable relays with Form C contacts. The control
unit can address up to a total of 8 Serial Relay Units and/or Serial Annunciator Units. RSE-300
auxiliary power supplies will be required to power units beyond the control unit capability.
Serial Annunciator Unit and Serial Annunciator Extender
The SLU-2 Serial Annunciator Unit includes a processor board and an annunciator driver
board. The processor board receives commands from the control unit for activating the outputs
and transmits supervision and control functions to the control unit. The processor board can
control up to 4 SLE-16 annunciator driver boards. Each driver board provides 16 supervised
programmable outputs for LEDs or incandescent lamps. The control unit can address up to 8
Serial Relay Units and/or Serial Annunciator Units. RSE-300 auxiliary power supplies will be
required to power units beyond the control unit capability.
RSE-300 Remote Signal Expander
The RSE-300 is a notification appliance circuit expander with a built-in auxiliary power output.
This power source is designed to provide power for notification appliances, door holders and
4-wire smoke detectors. The RSE-300 provides 6 amps of 24 VDC power for multiple uses. All
6 amps can be directed to 4 Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). Each is rated at 3 amps
and is power limited. Either 1 or 2 inputs can control the four outputs. These outputs are
compatible with Faraday notification appliances.
The RSE-300 can be configured so that the inputs can be programmed to provide steady
outputs, ANSI temporal outputs, or Faraday SYNC protocol for synchronized horn/strobe
outputs. It can also be programmed to silence Faraday sync horns while the sync strobes
remain on, using two wires. This requires a silenceable and non-silenceable input.
The RSE-300 also offers a 3 amp auxiliary output for driving other portions of your fire alarm system.
