Description
Remote Control and Annunciation is provided using
an 80 character, back-lit, alphanumeric display.
Information is presented in clear, descriptive English
language and includes: Point Status (alarm, trouble, etc.);
Alarm Type (smoke detector, manual station, etc.);
Number of System Alarms, Supervisory Conditions,
and Trouble Conditions; and a Custom Location Label.
Wiring. A single twisted wire pair provides serial RUI
communications that also supports other Simplex serial
annunciators on the same wire pair.
Multiple Indications. Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble
conditions are also indicated by dedicated LEDs and a
tone-alert audible sounder. Each condition has a dedicated
acknowledge push-button switch that silences the
tone-alert but leaves the LED on until all conditions in
that category are restored to normal. Switch operation is
either globally or individually acknowledgeable,
determined by the control panel operation.
4603-9101 LCD Annunciator
Description (Continued)
Repeated operation of the appropriate acknowledge
switch will scroll the LCD display showing activity in the
sequence of occurrence. The tone-alert also pulses to
indicate the operation of any of the push-button switches.
Consult local code requirements for guidance in
determining applications and location of the 4603-9101
LCD annunciator.
Operation
System Controls. Notification appliances can be
deactivated by pressing the “ALARM SILENCE” switch.
(Exact operation is determined by the host control panel
such as visible appliances remaining on until system is
reset.) Pressing the “SYSTEM RESET” switch restores
the system to normal operation. When system activity is
normal, the LCD displays the time, date, and “SYSTEM
IS NORMAL.”
Control Switches. Four programmable “CONTROL”
switches and associated LEDs are included. Typical
applications include manual evacuation, door holder
release bypass, and elevator capture bypass.
Keyswitch Enable. All switches on the annunciator are
controlled by the “ENABLE” keyswitch with a key that is
removable only in the disabled position. A brief
lamp/LCD test is performed whenever the keyswitch is
changed from enabled to disabled.
Battery Backup Operation. During battery backup,
the LED backlighting is disabled to conserve battery
power. When an annunciator switch is activated, the
backlighting is automatically enabled. After
approximately 30 seconds of inactivity, the backlighting
will again be disabled.
