1.0 General Information
Figure 1: Inside of AE101 Enclosure
The alert unit is a driver for output modules such as a
horn/strobe. The alert unit should be mounted indoors;
however, an outdoor enclosure is available. A horn/
strobe should always be mounted outdoors.
The alert unit receives its main power (for horn/strobe
activation) from the 18 VAC transformer. Backup power
is from a battery. However, the multiplex bus continues
to supply the transponder information on status and
troubles in the event local power is lost.

4.0 Wiring
Wire the EA120B Alert Unit (refer to Figure 4).
5.0 Set the Address
3.0 Mounting
Normally, the enclosures are mounted first and all the
wiring is run. Then the electronics are mounted, wired,
and tested.
The enclosures include the necessary electrical and
mechanical mounting hardware.
Mount the circuit board to the enclosure as indicated in
Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3.
Every module on each multiplex bus of the transponder
must have its own address. Set the address on the alert
unit using the address switch (see Figure 4).
Use only address numbers 0 through 7. Do not use
address numbers 8 and 9.
