2 Module Description
Overview of This Chapter
This chapter provides the following information:
• A functional description of the PSAX 4500 Alarm module
• Hardware features of the PSAX 4500 Alarm module
• Required components to install the PSAX 4500 Alarm module
• Instructions for installing the PSAX 4500 Alarm module
• Instructions for removing the PSAX 4500 Alarm module
Functional Description
The PSAX 4500 Alarm module provides two connectors that allow for connections with external facility sensor inputs (doors, temperature, and so on),
chassis alarm outputs (visible and audible), external device controls (cooling,
heating, doors, and so on), and audible alarm cutoff controls (see Figure 2-1).
In addition, the CPUn module generates trap messages that reflect state
changes of the PSAX 4500 Alarm module’s sensor inputs, control outputs,
and alarm cutoff control.
The PSAX 4500 Alarm module is functionally identical to the Alarm module
(model 20N79), but the module is designed to be mounted only in the rear
panel (slot
14) of the PSAX 4500 chassis. This enables you to make maximum
use of the front panel I/O slots. The module uses midplane bus traces that do
not impact midplane bus utilization calculations.

Like all of the other PSAX modules, the PSAX 4500 Alarm module is monitored and controlled through the console or EMS-PSAX. For a detailed
description of the PSAX 4500 Alarm module, see the PacketStar
®
PSAX 4500
Alarm Module User Guide.
Generating Central Office Alarms
COs and remote switch rooms have alarm panels with bells and lights that
report on the status of the equipment in the facility. The PSAX 4500 Alarm
module provides an interface with these alarm panels by generating alarms
that indicate the chassis has failed in some fashion.
Alarms are generated from several sources from within the chassis and
reported to the CPUn module. Upon receipt of an alarm, the CPUn module
sends a status message to the PSAX 4500 Alarm module, which generates the
appropriate alarm, depending on the severity of the alarm (see “Alarm Outputs” on page 2-3). The module then alerts the technician of the problem
through the alarm panels and sends a trap message to the NOC (see Packet-
Star
®
PSAX Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Reference Guide).
Figure 2-2 provides an example of a sequence of events that would cause the
PSAX 4500 Alarm module to generate an alarm:
1. The Stratum 3–4 module fails and a minor alarm message is sent to the
PSAX 4500 Alarm module.
2. The PSAX 4500 Alarm module
MINOR alarm LED and CO Minor alarm
lamp light, and the Minor alarm bell rings.
3. The technician locates the malfunctioning system and presses the mod-
ule’s
ACO switch or remote CO ACO device to silence the audible alarm.
4. The technician replaces the Stratum 3–4 module and resets the audible
alarm by pressing the module ACO switch or the CO ACO device.

Chapter 2 Module Description
Functional Description
Alarm Outputs
Alarm Severity Levels The 4500 Alarm module provides three severity levels of alarms—Critical,
Major, and Minor—as reported by the following devices:
• LEDs on the module faceplate and chassis front panel
• Relay contact closures that activate external audible and visible alarms in
the CO or NOC
Visible alarms assist in identifying and locating the particular chassis that is in
an alarm condition by activating the equipment bay alarm lights and chassis
alarm indicators. Audible alarms also occur when an alarm condition exists
in the CO or switch room.
Alarms reported at each of the three severity levels—Critical, Major, and
Minor—are interdependent. If a higher severity alarm condition occurs (such
as Critical—during the presence of a lower severity alarm (such as Minor),
the Critical alarms (LEDs, visible, and audible) are activated and the Minor
alarms are temporarily deactivated. Once the condition causing the higher
severity alarm is cleared, the Critical alarms are deactivated, or cleared, and
the Minor alarms are reactivated (if applicable).
Output Generation

When more than one of the above conditions occurs in more than one
category, the highest severity alarm determines which LED illuminates.
Note: For the Alarm and PSAX 4500 Alarm modules, output contact clo-
sures are not supported for a non-redundant Stratum 3–4 module
configuration as this results in a permanent Minor alarm.
Alarm Relay Operation
The activation of the external alarms in the CO is controlled through six
relays (three for visible alarms and three for audible alarms) with Form 1-C
contacts (see Figure 2-3). The contacts—normally open (NO), normally
closed (NC), and common (COM)—are accessible through the
ALARM con-
nector.
Table 2-1. Module Alarm Generation Criteria
This Alarm occurs… Under the following conditions…
CRITICAL • Loss of input power to the chassis—all module LEDs do not illuminate but
a Critical alarm is generated when the alarm relay becomes unpowered
and causes the relay contacts to change position
• Failure of both CPUn modules
• Loss or Failure of both Stratum 3–4 modules
MAJOR • Loss of both BITS clocks
• Loss of both Composite clocks
• Loss of both primary and secondary I/O timing references (if provisioned)
MINOR • Failure of one -48 V dc Power Supply module (including fan)
• Loss of one BITS or Composite clock timing reference source
• Failure of one Stratum 3–4 module in a redundant configuration
• Failure of one CPUn module in a redundant configuration
• Failure of one configured module
• Loss of signal or frame from a primary or secondary timing source when
line timing is configured on the Stratum 3–4 module

Chapter 2 Module Description
Functional Description
To allow flexibility in connecting the module to the external alarm panel:
• The Major and Minor alarm relays are energized only when an appropriate
alarm condition occurs.
• The Critical alarm relays are normally energized when no alarms are
reported. When a Critical alarm is reported or power fails, the relays are
de-energized, causing contacts to change positions and in turn causing the
CO alarms to be activated.
Figure 2-4 illustrates how the 4500 Alarm module might be connected to a
CO alarm panel.
• Diagram A shows an unalarmed condition.
• Diagram B shows an alarmed condition.

Audible Alarm Cutoff (ACO)
The alarm cutoff (ACO) function provides a method of silencing the audible
alarms caused by an alarm condition being reported by the chassis; it has no
effect on the visible alarms activated by the module. The alarm cutoff is controlled through the
ACO switch on the module and from a remote ACO
device (connected through the
ALARM connector). A remote ACO device
could be a switch, relay contacts, or software command.
When an audible alarm occurs, pressing the module ACO switch or activating
the remote ACO device once performs the following functions:
• Silences the audible alarms, but does not clear the alarm condition
• Illuminates the yellow
ACO LED on the module
• Reports the change in state to the CPUn module
Pressing the module
ACO switch or deactivating the remote ACO device a
second time performs the following functions:
• Reestablishes the audible alarm functionality
• Extinguishes the yellow
ACO LED on the module

Functional Description
• Reports the change in state to the CPUn module
The local and remote alarm cutoffs operate independently of each other. This
change in state (on to off, off to on) is also shown in the Audible Alarm Status panel of the console Alarm Configuration window.
Monitoring and Reporting on External Events
A CO, remote switch room, or hut contains a number of sensors that monitor
environmental conditions, power availability, moisture, and so on. The 4500
Alarm module has 15 input sensors that monitor the activity or state change
of these external sensors (through relay contact open or close conditions),
and report the status of them to the NOC through trap messages and the
Alarm Module Configuration window. An example of a remote sensor would
be a door sensor that indicates whether the door is open or closed as shown
in Figure 2-5.
In situations where a remote sensor input to the 4500 Alarm module indicates a condition that requires external intervention, such as when the temperature in the CO exceeds a predefined limit and supplemental air conditioning is required, the 4500 Alarm module provides four relays that can be
connected to supplemental devices to allow the NOC operator to activate
them by sending activation commands by way of the 4500 Alarm module.

Control Outputs
The 4500 Alarm module can control up to four remotely controlled devices,
such as air conditioning, heating, lighting, and so on, through four relays.
The relays are controlled through the Control Outputs panel on the Alarm
Module Configuration window.
The Control Output relays have Form 1-C contacts (normally open (NO),
normally closed (NC), and common (COM)) that are accessible through the
STATUS/CONTROL connector (see Figure 2-6). The contact configuration
allows flexibility in connecting the module to remotely controlled devices.
Control Output relays 1, 2, and 3 are normally in an off state (COM and NC
contacts closed) when no command is sent. They are energized (changed
from a normal off state to an on state) only when a control command is sent.
Control Output relay 4 is normally energized (COM and NO contacts closed)
when no command is sent. When a control command is sent, the relay is not
energized causing the COM and NC contacts to close and in turn causing the
external device to be activated or deactivated.
Figure 2-7 shows how the module activates a Control Output relay to activate the supplemental air conditioning. The command maintains the contact

Remote Status Inputs
Fifteen remote status inputs are provided through the STATUS/CONTROL con-
nector to enable remote sensors to be monitored and reported to the NOC.
Opto-isolators are used to monitor the opening and closing of dry contact
relays in devices that can report their own operational status. An input and
common connection is provided for each opto-isolator. An example of a
remote sensor would be a door sensor that indicates whether the door is
open or closed as shown in Figure 2-8.

‡
Audible and visible critical alarm relays are shown normally energized when no alarm is
being generated. A critical alarm is generated through a command that de-energizes the
relay or when power is lost.
§
NC is normally closed relay contact.
¶
NO is normally open relay contact.
**
Battery Return is used typically for -48 V dc operation.
††
Contact closure or input command is sensed by opto-isolator.
