5.9 Remote Annunciator Operation
The FX-401 System supports the following types of annunciators (Class B)
• RAX-LCD-LITE shared display annunciator.
• RAM-3500-LCD shared display annunciator.
• Conventional LED/switch annunciators.
Both shared display RAX-LCD-LITE and RAM-3500-LCD annunciators are connected to the
panel via the RS-485 serial link (Class B).
The maximum number of annunciators is seven (7). Configuration of the annunciators is done
via the software configurator.
Ensure that the address DIP switch on each annunciator is set to the same value set in the
configurator. Only the first three (3) DIP switches are used for address configuration.
Note: Positive Alarm Sequence needs to be configured in the configuration job file
before it is sent to the panel. There will be no notification message advising a
change of status.
