RA-1000 Remote Annunciator Wiring and Instruction Manual

Introduction

Mircom's modular design RA-1000 Series Remote Multiplex Annunciator panels provide a large
capacity of annunciation (up to 208 points) with Mircom’s standard FA-1000 Series Fire Alarm
Control Panels. The RAM-1032(TZ) Main Annunciator Chassis is a 32-circuit annunciator that may
be expanded with up to four RAX-1048(TZ) Adder Annunciator Chassis to a maximum of 208
circuit display points. The RAM-1032TZ is the same as the RAM-1032 with 32 added zoned trouble
LEDs. The RAM-1016(TZ) Main Annunciator Chassis is a 16-circuit non expandable annunciator.
The RAM-1016TZ is the same as the RAM-1016 with 16 added zoned trouble LEDs. The RAX­1048TZ is the same as the RAX-1048 with 48 added zoned trouble LEDs. Each circuit indicator is
a bi-colour LED that is automatically configured to match the fire alarm control panel configuration.
There are five types of enclosures available: the BB-1001, BB-1002, BB-1003, BB-1008, and BB­1012 which can take 1,2,3,8,12 chassis respectively.

Note that the RAM-1032(TZ) and the RAM-1016(TZ) are supplied with the NP-680 laser printable
label sheet. Column 1A or 1B (English or French) is selected for either a 2-stage or 1-stage system
respectively. Discard column three and fill out the last four columns with the blanks after they have
been printed. The RAX-1048(TZ) is supplied with the NP-681 blank laser printable label sheet.

Note: The RA-1000 normally displays Initiating Circuit Status (no individual circuit

troubles); however, models RAM-1016TZ, RAM-1032TZ, and RAX-1048TZ will
allow individual circuit trouble indication. Indicating and Relay Circuits are not
remotely displayed. For more details, see the Fire Alarm Control Panel manual.
