Installation
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read, follow, and retain instructions – All safety and operating instructions should be read and
followed before operating the unit. Retain instructions for future reference.
2. Heed warnings – Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
3. Attachments – Attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer should not be used, as
they may cause hazards.
4. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this unit by yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
5. This permanently connected apparatus must operate from a UL Listed 12 V dc @ 1 A minimum
regulated power supply.
USA and Canada Consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association
(CSA 22.1), and local codes for specific requirements regarding your installation. Class 2 circuit wiring
must be performed in accordance with NEC 725.55.
Mounting
NOTES:
1. Mounting hardware is not included with this assembly and must be purchased separately.
2. Due to the insertion depth and weight of this system status panel, chassis supports should be installed
under the unit on both sides to prevent twisting of the front panel.
Remove the system status panel from its protective packing. Position the system status panel in the 19inch EIA cabinet (or rack) and secure with the appropriate screws. A plastic shoulder washer should be
installed behind each screw to prevent scratching of the painted finish.

Field Wiring
TX/RX Data
The modular terminal block labeled +/−
TX/RX at the rear of the system status panel provides connection
for the data line to the API connection module (or DIN terminal blocks) at the ADVANCE system control
cabinet.
A twisted pair cable (minimum Category 3) should be used for this connection. Observe cable conductor
polarity (+/−) when making connections at the control cabinet: (+ connects to + and − connects to −). No
damage will occur if the polarity is reversed, but the system status panel will not function.
If installing this panel external to the ADVANCE System control cabinet, the maximum cable distance to
the cabinet is 3 km when using No. 24 AWG (Category 3) cable. Refer to Figure 3 for terminal block
location and Table 1 for additional details.

N
OTE: The system status panel does not have an on/off power switch and will power up immediately
upon application of 12 V dc power. The ADVANCE System control cabinet must also be powered and
running before the system status panel is operational. The A
CK/NEXT switch LED on the system status
panel will flash, the sonalert will sound and the display will read “No communication with ADVANCE”
until data communication is established with the ADVANCE control cabinet.
Grounding
The system status panel is equipped with a ground stud on the rear panel. The ground stud is supplied
with two KEPS type hex nuts. Internally, the ground stud connects to chassis and the ground terminal at
TB3-3. Be sure to connect this ground stud to the appropriate ground bar or ground terminals within the
cabinet using a #6 ring lug crimped to a No. 14 AWG green/yellow (or green) wire.

Settings and Adjustments
User Adjustments
Sonalert Volume Adjus tment
The volume adjustment on the rear panel adjusts the volume level of the sonalert alarm. Clockwise
rotation will increase the volume and counterclockwise rotation will decrease the volume.
Internal Adjustments
Removing the Cover
Remove the two screws from top cover, and the two screws from each side (a total of six). Open the
system status panel by lifting and rotating the cover back 180º and place on a flat surface. Be careful not
to disconnect any cables.

Jumper Settings
TX/RX Data
Jumper P9 provides a ground reference to the access panel data line. A similar jumper is located on the
Access Panel Interface (API) card in the system control cabinet. The data line must be ground referenced
on one side of the communication link but not both. Place P9 in the GND position to create a ground
reference. Place P9 in the FLOAT position (default) to remove the ground reference. Refer to Figure 5
for jumper location.
Potentiometer Adjustments
LCD Display Brightness
R2 adjust the brightness of the backlight of the display. Clockwise rotation increases the brightness.
Refer to Figure 5 for potentiometer location.
LCD Display Contrast
R1 adjusts the contrast of the display. Clockwise rotation increases the contrast. Refer to Figure 5 for
potentiometer location.

Attaching the Cover
After all adjustments have been completed, replace the cover over lower chassis, being careful not to
pinch any cables. Secure the cover using the six screws originally removed from the top and sides.

Operation
The system status panel operator is only capable of viewing the system operating status on the LCD
display. The following paragraphs provide a general overview of the system status panel features. Pushbutton switches provided on the system status panel are assigned specific system control functions.
Push-Button Swi tch Summary
Each push-button switch function is assigned a specific function. The following describes the function(s)
of each switch on the front panel of the system status panel:
A
CK/NEXT – the ack/next push button performs three unique functions, each of which is dependent upon
system status or conditions. The 1
event(s) or condition(s) in the system. The 2
depressed is used to acknowledge an event, causing the switch lamp to extinguish (if there are no other
unacknowledged events). The 1
events or conditions exist. The 3
acknowledged. The next function is used in conjunction with the previous push-button to navigate
forwards and backwards, respectively, through the history buffer of messages.
st
function is an illuminated state which indicates unacknowledged
st
and 2nd functions are sequenced repeatedly as long as outstanding
rd
function (next) is available only when all events or conditions are
nd
function is an acknowledge function, which when
REV – is an abbreviation for previous and is used in conjunction with the next function (of the ack/next
P
push-button switch) to navigate forwards and backwards, respectively, through the history buffer of
messages.
F
AULT/RESET – the Fault/Reset push-button switch used to reset active alarms displayed on the LCD and
fault relay outputs at the ADVANCE System control cabinet, which are retained until the faulted
condition is corrected.

sonalert is sounding. The
panel is not operational.
• Disconnected data cable between the API card and system status
panel.
• Data cable is connected to an un-programmed API card output.
• Data cable polarity is reversed (observe +/− polarity).
• Defective API card at ADVANCE system control cabinet.
• Defective APU board inside system status panel.
Some or all push-button
switches do not function.
Display does not function
• Push-button switches are not programmed.
• Defective switches or an improper connection exists between
switch board and APU board inside unit.
• The display is not enabled in the system programming.
• Display cable is not properly connected at the APU board inside
