The remote alarm is used when audible and visual alarms are desired. The visual alarm is indicated by LED’s. The
audible alarm is indicated by a piezo speaker. The audible alarm is silenced by pressing the “SILENCE” button on
the front of the remote alarm. The red LED illuminates when cylinder pressure is below the set point pressure
on the inlet gauge. The piezo alarm also sounds when the cylinder pressure is below the set point pressure on
the inlet gauge. Connections to the remote alarm and Protocol Station are made using connectors supplied by
CONCOA. The customer will supply the cabling between the remote alarm and switchover.
When using the remote alarm, basic safety precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and injury. Do the following:
a. Read and understand all instructions. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
b. Do not use the remote alarm wher e it may be subjected to water, condensation, or rain. Unplug or discon-
nect the power, when liquids are spilled on or in these products.
c. Do not use the remote alarm where it may be subjected to temperature extremes. The remote alarm may be
installed in locations where the temperature varies between 0° and 140°F.
d. Do not install the remote alarm or Protocol Station in hazardous locations.
e. Do not drop the remote alarm. Do not use if damaged or dropped.
f. Operate the remote alarm with the type of power source indicated on the remote alarm transformer. If you
are not sure of your power source, contact your dealer or local power company.
g. Do not overload wall outlets and extensions cords; this may result in the risk of electrical shock or fire.
Check the wall transformer for the voltage and current rating.
h. Never push objects of any kind inside the remote alarm case as the objects may touch dangerous voltage
points or may short parts that could result in the risk of electrical shock or fire.
i. Do not allow objects to cause damage to the power cord or any other connecting cables. Do not use if any
wires are frayed, damaged, or loose.
The following components are required to install the remote alarm:
one remote alarm
one Protocol Station equipped with pressure switch gauge
two connector assemblies (830 9170-22) as shown in Figure 1.
soldering iron & solder
4 wire cable – Use wire that can be inserted into the pins of the connector assembly (22 gauge wire is recom-
mended). For the alarm cable connection to be water resistant, a cable with outside diameter .195-
.265 must be used.
1. Locate the two connector assemblies. Slide all of the cable components onto the wire cable as shown in
Figure 1.
2. Solder the cable wires to the plug. Note that both ends of the cable’s wires must be identically attached to
the connector assemblies. Pin 1 must match pin1and pin 4 must match pin 4.
3. Push the locking nut onto the plug.
4. Push the cable retainer into the plug until it snaps in.
5. Clamp cable retainer tabs with pliers until tabs lock in place on the outside cable insulation.
6. Stretch the cable cover over the cable retainer and plug. The cable cover must cover the holes on the plug.
7. Plug the cable into the male connector located on the bottom of the Protocol Station bracket. Plug the
other wire end into the male connector located on the remote alarm. (See Figure 2.)
8. Connect the wall transformer to the remote alarm and plug in the wall transformer.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
SERVICE
A unit that is not functioning properly should not be used. It is recommended that all servicing be done by a service
facility authorized by CONCOA. Contact CONCOA Customer Service in Virginia Beach, Virginia for systems
still covered by the warranty. (Toll-Free in the US and Canada, 1800-225-0473, or 1-757-422-8330; FAX: 1-757422-3125; or E-MAIL at e-mail@concoa.com.) For items not covered by the warranty , contact the nearest CONCO A
District Sales Office for assistance.
If so advised, the unit should be sent to a service facility authorized by CONCOA. Do the following before
shipping:
1. Adequately package the system. If possible package in the original shipping container.
2. Ship prepaid.
3. Include a statement of the observed deficiency.
Return trip transportation charges are to be paid by the Buyer. In all cases where the warranty has expired, repairs
will be made at current list price for the replacement part(s), plus a reasonable labor charge.

Press the silence button to turn off the buzzer.
10. Check the function of the alarm system by pressurizing the system and allowing the system to depressurize. When the cylinder is low (below the set point on the gauge), the green LED should turn off and
the red LED will illuminate. The buzzer will also sound. The buzzer may be silenced by pressing the
remote alarm’s silence button.
The alarm is used to provide an audible and visual warning that a cylinder is nearly depleted. Adjusting the
alarm set point does not affect the operation of the system. No adjustment of the alarm set point during
normal operation should be necessary. If adjustment of the alarm set point is required, slide the red tab seen on
the inlet gauge to the desired alarm point (see figure 2).
If the green remote alarm LED’s do not illuminate when the transformer is plugged in and the remote alarm is
not connected to the switchover, check the fuse. Disconnect the transformer from the power source. Remove
the four screws on the rear of the remote alarm. Remove the rear panel. Replace the fuse with the one indicated
on the label. Replace the rear cover and screws. Plug in the wall transformer. Check the remote alarm.
