RA400Z & RA400ZA

Remote Annunciators

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).

CAUTION: DO NOT break tab when using RA400Z or RA400ZA
with an intelligent four-wire duct detector (such as System Sen­sor’s DH500ACDC or NOTIFIER’s DHX-501).

Current Drain: 7 mA maximum.

Temperature Range: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F).

NOTE: For indoor applications only.

Annunciator Control Systems

Installation

The RA400Z/RA400ZA is intended to be mounted to a single­gang 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.

The Limitations of Remote
Annunciators

• The remote annunciator will not work if the device it is
connected to is not powered. The remote annunciator

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.
