Introduction to the R-Series
The R-Series Remote Annunciators and Expanders provide remote annunciation
for fire and emergency alarm systems. The annunciators offer LCD or LED
annunciation, and can include common controls. The expander uses LEDs.
The R-Series includes three annunciator models and one expander model. One
or two expanders can be connected to any of the annunciator models. Figure 1
shows the four models in the R-Series. Table 1 lists the features of each model.
Table 2 is a complete list of all models and accessories in the series.

R-Series Remote Annunciators and Expanders Installation and Operation Guide 1
The annunciators communicate with the FACP on the RS-485 data riser. This
can be configured for Class A or Class B communication. The annunciators do
not provide ground fault isolation.
The annunciators are stand-alone units that can be powered by the FACP or by
an approved power supply.
Models with common controls can use a separate, remote key switch to enable
or disable the common controls.
