Description of the Alarm
SHIPMENT DETAILS
When you receive an Alert-3 LCD series alarm from Amico Corporation, the package will consist of three main sections:
the Alarm Back Box, Sensors and the Frame/Module Assembly.
THE ALARM BACK BOX
The Alarm Back Box contains the auto-switchable System Power Supply with an ON/OFF switch, a built-in fuse and
terminal blocks (115 to 220 VAC - 50 to 60 Hz). The back box also incorporates the pipe stubs for applications that require
locally (in box) mounted sensors.
THE FRAME/MODULE ASSEMBLY
The Frame/Module Assembly consists of the frame and the LCD module. The hinged frame is designed to swing down
from the back box to facilitate installation and servicing of the alarm. This design will reduce installation time and
eliminate the risk of improper installation since all the modules are connected and tested at the factory.
www.amico.com 5
Description of Modules
The Alert-3 LCD Alarm is a high technology microprocessor based module:
COMMON TO ALL ALARMS
SYSTEM POWER SUPPLY
The System Power Supply has been pre-installed into the back box assembly. The System Power Supply converts the
AC voltage supply to the alarm into two voltages: 5 VDC (regulated) required by the microprocessor hardware and 15
VDC (unregulated) required by the buzzer and the LCD. This unit also contains the main ON/OFF power switch, the
transformer, the heat sink, the main fuse and fuse cover, the rectifying circuitry, the terminal blocks and the low voltage
DC power cable for connecting this unit to the module. The System Power Supply can be easily removed and reinstalled
by unscrewing it from the back box.
LCD MODULE
The LCD Module contains the LCD screen, microprocessor, buzzer and the “MUTE” buttons. The function of the “MUTE”
button is to silence an alarm that has occurred. By holding the “MUTE” button for 15 seconds, the module will display
the high and low pressure set points. This module also contains a fail-safe relay that de-energizes when the buzzer
is activated. This relay can be used with the Amico Remote Buzzer for applications requiring a remote audible alarm or a
Building Management System.
SENSOR MODULE
The Sensor Module contains the transducer which converts the source of the pressure/vacuum into a digital signal that
is displayed on the LCD module. The sensor module shall be housed in an anodized aluminum and nickel-plated brass
enclosure to act as an interference barrier and it is temperature compensated. Each sensor is clearly labeled and color
coded for the gas or vacuum being monitored. The sensor module contains a gas-specic DISS tting to ensure correct
connection of the proper sensor to the respective gas. Each sensor has been factory calibrated by computer for the
specic gas shown on the sensor housing.

Installation Guide
STEP 1: THE ALARM BOX
Install the back-box to the studs of the wall at the desired height. Ensure that the box is securely in place. The mounting
brackets are adjustable to suit the thickness of the wall. MAKE SURE the box is parallel, squared and ush with the
nished wall surface to ensure that the frame assembly will t properly.
STEP 2: FOR LOCAL SENSOR ONLY
If the sensors are to be mounted locally (inside the back box), the pipe stubs must be connected to the pipeline. Using
silver-brazing techniques, connect each pipe stub to its appropriate gas or vacuum while ensuring that the bottom of
the pipe stub is wrapped with a damp cloth. BE CAREFUL not to damage the DISS check-valve by overheating the lower
portion of the copper pipe. When the brazing of pipe stubs has been completed, the system can be pressure tested.
STEP 3: STANDING PRESSURE TEST
Perform a standing pressure test on the piping system as per NFPA-99 “Health Care Facilities.” Inspect all joints for leaks
and make certain each gas is piped to a correspondingly labeled gas service.
STEP 4: SENSOR
LOCAL (inside the back box)
i. Locate the gas-specic sensor module to be installed.
ii. In the back box, there are color coded gas labels located under the DISS Demand Check Valves. Each label
identies where each sensor module is to be placed.
