N-ANN-80

80-Character LCD
Serial Annunciator

General

The N-ANN-80 annunciator is a compact, backlit, 80-character
LCD fire annunciator that mimics the Fire Alarm Control Panel
(FACP) display. It provides system status indicators for AC
Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory, and Alarm Silenced condi­tions. The N-ANN-80 and the FACP communicate over a two­wire serial interface employing the ANN-BUS communication
format. Connected devices are powered, via two
wires, by either the host FACP or a remote UL-listed, filtered
power supply.

The N-ANN-80 displays English-language text of system point
information including device type, zone, independent point
alarm, trouble or supervisory status, as well as any custom
alpha labels programmed into the control panel. It includes con­trol switches for remote control of critical system functions. (A
keyswitch prevents unauthorized operation of the control
switches.)

Up to eight N-ANN-80s may be connected to the ANN-BUS of
each FACP. Minimal programming is required, which saves time
during system commissioning. The N-ANN-80 is compatible
with NOTIFIER FACPs with an ANN-BUS, such as the NFW-50.

N-ANN-80 is black; for white order N-ANN-80-W.

Features

• Listed to UL Standard 864, 9th Edition.

• Backlit 80-character LCD display (20 characters x 4 lines).

• Mimics all display information from the host panel.

• Control switches for System Acknowledge, Signal Silence,
Drill, and Reset.

• Control switches can be independently enabled or disabled
at the FACP.

• Keyswitch enables/disables control switches and mechani­cally locks annunciator enclosure

• Keyswitch can be enabled or disabled at the FACP.

• Enclosure supervised for tamper.

• System status LEDs for AC Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervi­sory, and Alarm Silence.

• Local sounder can be enabled or disabled at the FACP.

• N-ANN-80 connects to the ANN-BUS terminal on the FACP
and requires minimal panel programming.

• Displays device type identifiers, individual point alarm, trou­ble, supervisory, zone, and custom alpha labels.

• Time-and date display field.

• Surface mount directly to wall or to single, double, or 4"
square electrical box.

• Semi-flush mount to single, double, or 4" square electrical
box. Use ANN-SB80KIT for angled view mounting.

• Can be remotely located up to 6,000 feet (1,800 m) from the
panel.

• Backlight turns off during AC loss to conserve battery power
but will turn back on if an alarm condition occurs.

• May be powered by 24 VDC from the host FACP or by remote
power supply (requires 24 VDC).

• Up to eight N-ANN-80s can be connected on the ANN-BUS.

The ANN-BUS

POWERING THE DEVICES ON THE ANN-BUS FROM
AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY

The ANN-BUS can be powered by an auxiliary power supply
when the maximum number of ANN-BUS devices exceeds the
ANN-BUS power requirements. See the FACP manual for more
information.

ANN-BUS DEVICE ADDRESSING

Each ANN-BUS device requires a unique address (ID Number)
in order to communicate with the FACP. A maximum of 8 devices
can be connected to the FACP ANN-BUS communication circuit.
See the FACP manual for more information.

WIRE REQUIREMENTS: COMMUNICATIONS CIRCUIT

The N-ANN-80 connects to the FACP ANN-BUS communica­tions circuit. To determine the type of wire and the maximum wir­ing distance that can be used with FACP ANN-BUS accessory
modules, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current
draw for all modules on a single 4-conductor bus. The total worst
case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst
case currents for each module.

NOTE: For total worst case current draw on a single ANN-BUS
refer to appropriate FACP manual.

After calculating the total worst case current draw, the following
table specifies the maximum distance the modules can be
located from the FACP on a single wire run. The table ensures

6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is lim­ited by resistance, but for heavier wire gauges, capacitance is
the limiting factor.

These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maxi­mum length can never be more than 6,000 feet (1,800 m),
regardless of gauge used. See table below.

WIRE REQUIREMENTS: POWER CIRCUIT

• 14 to 18 AWG (0.75 - 2.08 mm2) wire for 24 VDC power cir­cuit is acceptable.

• All connections are power-limited and supervised.

• A maximum of eight N-ANN-80 modules may be connected
to this circuit.
