Remote Annunciators
Section: Annunciator Control Systems
GENERAL
The System Sensor RA400Z and RA400ZA (Canadian)
Remote Annunciators are polarized devices designed for
both conventional and intelligent applications. They have
been designed using an active current regulator so that
the maximum current required from the system is 7 mA
when the input voltage is within the specified voltage range.
SPECIFICATIONS
Voltage range, CONVENTIONAL system: 3.1 to 32 VDC
DO NOT break tab.
Voltage range, INTELLIGENT system: 18 to 32 VDC
Break tab (see caution note).
DO NOT break tab when using RA400Z or RA400ZA with
an intelligent four-wire duct detector (such as System
Sensors DH500ACDC or NOTIFIERs DHX-501).
Current drain: 7 mA maximum.
Temperature range: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F).
PLEASE NOTE: For indoor applications only.
INSTALLATION
The RA400Z/RA400ZA is intended to be mounted to a
single-gang electrical outlet box. The device must be operated within its published specifications. Wire the remote
annunciator according to the instructions supplied with the
device being monitored and in compliance with all codes.
Polarity of the incoming wires must be observed and connected to the proper terminals + and - (see figure).
The tab on the back of the remote annunciator must be
broken off for use with most System Sensor intelligent systems (see figure and caution under Specifications). After
the tab is broken, the input voltage for the RA400Z and
RA400ZA is limited to 18 volts minimum.
See the following page for further information on the limitations of remote annunciators.

The Limitations of Remote Annunciators
The remote annunciator will not work if the device it
is connected to is not powered. The remote annuncia-
tor gets its power from the device to which it is connected.
If for any reason, the device being monitored loses power,
the remote annunciator will not provide the intended visible signal. The RA400Z is suitable for indoor applications only.
The remote annunciator may not be seen. The model
RA400Z is suitable for direct viewing and is in compliance
with existing Underwriters Laboratories standards. The
device must be sited in a location where it can be seen by
the intended parties. The device must not be installed in
direct sunlight, or areas of high light intensity where the
visible signal might be disregarded or not seen.
This device is designed to work specifically with cer-
tain NOTIFIER or System Sensor products. Interconnection with devices other than those specified may result in unsatisfactory operation. Consult device manufacturer for compatibility.
The remote annunciator is not intended to be a visible
warning signal.
