Introduction

Recommended separation distances between

portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the TotalAlert 2

The TotalAlert 2 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The
customer or the user of the TotalAlert 2 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the TotalAlert 2 as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be
estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from

structures, objects and people.

Multi-Signal Module Relays

Installation Procedures

Digital Display Module Master/Slave

Digital display modules of two alarm
panels may be wired together in such a
way that pressure readings of first panel
can be duplicated at second panel.

Each digital display module has RS-422
digital outputs and inputs. By connecting
digital output (master output) of first panel
to digital inputs (slave input) of the
second panel, second panel will duplicate
pressure readings.

Connect the master output terminals of
the sending digital display module to the
slave input terminals of the receiving digi­tal display module.

Refer to Wiring Schematic 6 (Page 51).

As an option, mutli-signal modules may be
ordered with five output relays, one for
each of five signals that multi-signal is
capable of monitoring.

Each relay has a set of dry, normally­closed contacts that will open when an
alarm is activated on corresponding front
panel signal. For example, when an alarm
condition activates on top multi-signal front
panel alarm location (Signal 1), relay
labeled “Signal 1” will activate opening its
contacts. Relay contacts will remain open
as long as alarm condition is active, even if

audible alarm is silenced by MUTE
button.

When alarm condition is corrected, relay
contacts will close.

Relay contact ratings are 2 A @ 30 VDC/0.5 A
@ 125 VAC.

NOTE:

It is best to use a switch instead of a hub
because the devices communicate at 10 Mbits/s.
A switch also improves network performance and
keeps unnecessary traffic from being routed to
the alarm.

CAUTION:

Have the facility’s Information Systems personnel
set up the network interface. If the set up is done
improperly, equipment may not perform properly.
