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.

The annunciators and expanders can be mounted on a standard 4 in. square electrical box, using the included mounting ring. They can also be surface mounted in locking steel enclosures.

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.

R-Series Remote Annunciators and Expanders Installation and Operation Guide 5

Installing annunciators and expanders

For correct operation, the annunciator must be configured with a unique address, must have the correct baud rate setting, and must be in communication with the FACP.

If you are installing a Remote Annunciator and Remote Expanders into RA-ENC2 or RA-ENC3 enclosures, you must install the expanders first. Refer to the installation sheets for the enclosures for the correct sequence of steps.

If you are installing Remote Annunciators and Remote Expanders using separate electrical boxes, the wire runs between the boxes must be enclosed in conduit.

If you are installing a remote key switch, the switch must be located within the enclosure or within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the enclosure with the cabling installed in conduit or equivalent protection against mechanical injury.

To install an annunciator:

1. Secure the mounting ring to the electrical box, as shown in Figure 4.

2. Use the DIP switch to set the correct address and baud rate. See Table 3 on page 5 for DIP switch settings.

3. Connect the control panel annunciator circuit to the appropriate annunciator terminals. See Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8.

Tip: Leave enough wire to remove and position the annunciator when setting

the DIP switch.

4. Attach the expander cable to the annunciator, if applicable. See Figure 9.

5. Attach the remote key switch wiring to the annunciator, if applicable. See Figure 8.

6. Tilt the annunciator up and slide the mounting slot onto the top flange of the mounting ring, as shown in Figure 4.

7. Tilt the annunciator down and push the bottom of the annunciator over the stud-nut.

8. Secure the bottom of the annunciator to the mounting ring using the captive screw.

9. Cover the screw hole with the product label plate.

To install an expander:

1. Complete and insert the zone card (labeling sheet) into the expander.

2. Secure the mounting ring to the electrical box, as shown in Figure 4.

3. Connect the expander cable to the expander. Attach an expander cable for interconnection to a second expander, if applicable. See Figure 9.

)

4. Tilt the expander up and slide the mounting slot onto the top flange of the mounting ring, as shown in Figure 4.

5. Tilt the expander down and push the bottom of the expander over the studnut.

6. Secure the bottom of the expander to the mounting ring using the captive screw.

7. Cover the screw hole with the product label plate.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for a second expander, if applicable.

Troubleshooting

When an R-Series annunciator is operating correctly, the Trouble LED follows the panel’s Trouble LED. Annunciators with LCD displays show the same trouble messages as the panel. See the topic “Reading LCD displays” on page 18 for details about message displays.

The following table summarizes symptoms and solutions for common installation and operation problems.

Table 5: R-Series troubleshooting

Problem Cause

Panel detail display: Annunciator 000 Communication Fault

Annunciator LCD and LEDs are inoperative

Annunciator control switches don’t work Remote key switch is in the “locked” or disabled

Lamp test During a lamp test the annunciators with LCDs show

Communication wiring has an open fault

Communication wiring polarity is reversed

Annunciator has no power

Annunciator address DIP switches are set incorrectly (on the annunciator shown in the panel message)

Annunciator network baud rate DIP switch is set incorrectly (for normal operation use 9600 baud)

Annunciator bus type DIP switch is set incorrectly (change S1-7 to the other position)
