1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Ronan Series X11SN Window Annunciator
Systems feature Monalarm, Binalarm, Trialarm and
Quadalarm displays within Ronan’s standard 3.5
inch (89 mm) by 3.5 inch (89 mm) mechanical cabinet modules. The single plug-in module construction
contains single or multipoint alarm circuitry with
maximum noise immunity and reliability. The most
popular ISA sequences, A, M, F2A, F2M, F3A, and
R are readily available. For other special
sequences, consult factory. For higher noise immunity and specific field contact time applications, a
programmable field contact time delay board is an
available option. Normally open/normally closed field
contact logic for each individual channel is jumper
switch-selectable on the single-board design. A system common trouble alarm (CTA) may be utilized for
remote group alarms. The system's CTA and reflash transistor outputs may be connected directly or
via interface relays to provide inputs to remote
annunciators.

3.0 EXPANSION
The Series X11SN Window Annunciator Systems
are built for expandability. This allows field expansion of the Monalarm System to either Binalarm,
Trialarm or Quadalarm, and the Binalarm to
Trialarm or Quadalarm, by simply replacing the
alarm/lamp modules and the appropriate bezels.
CAUTION: The last position of each chassis can
not be more than two alarm positions due to the
flasher, so it will only expand to Binalarm.
4.0 AUXILIARY CONTACTS
The auxiliary contact outputs may be purchased initially or added later in the field. The single, dual,
triple or quad relay circuit module plugs in from the
front of the system. The receiving multipin printed
circuit connector and the terminals for the contact
outputs are furnished with the system. Each relay
follows the selected alarm board auxiliary behavior
and provides a selectable Form A or B type contact.
The relays are available in General Purpose or
Hermetically Sealed models.

Procedure.
CAUTION
6.0 POWER UP AND TEST PROCEDURE
It is important to review all external equipment,
including the alarm system, before turning on
power and proceeding with testing. Before
installing, verify that each component meets the
area and environment standard required by the
National Electrical Code. Particular attention must
be paid to reviewing push buttons, horn relays,
horns and bells, to see that they meet the right
classification of the electrical code.
6.1 Wiring Inspection
6.1.1 Alarm Inputs. Each active alarm input
must be wired to customer’s sensing device
that provides an opening or closing on alarm
condition. The terminals on the alarm system
for each alarm input are marked 1 and are
supplied via a pull-up resistor on each alarm
module point. This resistor is used in the V+
source to each field contact to reduce the
effect of large transients entering the alarm
chassis. Each alarm input module is provided
with a separate terminal 1. However, it is
common practice to run one common wire
from terminal 1 to many field contacts to
reduce the number of field wires required.
When using common wiring, it is important to
jumper together terminal 1 of the respective
alarm cabinet modules to provide the correct
amount of current source to the field contact.
The return wire from the field contact is wired
to terminal 2 for each respective alarm module. Since the alarm system provides the
power to the field contacts, it is important to
verify that no other voltage source appears
on either terminal 1 or terminal 2.
Note: On alarm systems where the alarm
inputs are supplied from transistor switch outputs, the V- of both systems has to be common. If the system under test has this feature, it must be verified by reviewing the electrical drawing, particularly the alarm module
schematic.
In general, the solid state alarm system is a
floating system. The V+ and V- should be
verified as ungrounded.
6.1.2 Push-button Wiring. Verify that the
push-button wires are correctly wired to all of
the push buttons, including the push-button
contacts. Refer to pages 13 through 20 for
outlined dimensions and rear terminal
4
arrangements. Insure that normally open contacts are used. For example, if the wrong contacts (normally closed) are used, this is the
same as having the operator pushing the push
button continuously, which obviously will drastically affect the operation of the alarm system.
Alarm systems using multiple alarm cabinets
may use a common set of push buttons to control the total system. A detailed check for proper installation is recommended, including diode
type isolation, if specified on the electrical
drawings.
6.1.3 Horn and Bell Wiring. Terminals H1, H2,
and CA use short circuit protected drivers to
drive associated relays and horns. The suggested minimum turn-on current of connected elements should be greater than 10
mA. The maximum horn current should not
exceed 500 mA. If electronic horns are used,
the horns can be directly connected to the
audible output terminals (H1, H2). Systems
using the conventional AC or DC horns and
bells, must use a horn relay with suitable contact rating. On multiple alarm cabinet systems
where individual power input is preferred, a
horn relay must be used with each cabinet to
maintain electrical isolation.
6.1.4 Power Supply. Verify the correct polarity
of connection to the alarm systems. In the larger system, it is important to verify the wire
sizes of the power leads to the alarm cabinets.
To protect the larger alarm chassis, it is common to provide more than one input to the cabinet in which each section is provided with a
separate filter, fuse and supply input terminals.
In systems with multiple supply input, it is necessary for the customer to make V- connections common.
6.1.5 Normally Open/Normally Closed Field
Contacts.All alarm modules are equipped for
operation with normally open or normally
closed field contacts. This is accomplished by
using a jumper switch on each alarm module,
identified as NO and NC for the normally open
and normally closed position respectively.
When the complete system is in operation, the
field contact that opens with an alarm condition
is termed a “normally closed” alarm input; conversely, the field contact that closes with an
alarm condition is termed a “normally open”
alarm input.
6.1.6 Power Up. Carefully inspect the hookup
wiring to insure conformity with the furnished
schematic. Pay particular attention to power
source polarity and verify that terminal 3 is
CAUTION
connected common for first alert sequence
groups. Now remove the alarm modules one
at a time and determine whether or not the
normally closed/normally open switch is in the
proper position and reinsert the card firmly,
seating it in the connector. Power may now be
applied to the system.
Upon power application, the flasher module
within the system will automatically initiate a
reset cycle. The system should then be in a
quiescent state with the horn(s) off and no
lamps flashing. Some lamps may, however, be
on if their associated field contacts are in an
abnormal condition.
Depression of TEST should cause all extinguished lamps to come on flashing and the
audible alarm to sound. From this point, refer
to the particular Sequence Charts to obtain
normal system operation. When testing an installed system, be alert to the possibility that
an actual alarm may initiate during the test
procedure and appear to give conflicting
results.
7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 General
Simple attention to the obvious can often
solve what appears to be a problem in the
system.
A.Burned out, broken, or improperly seated
bulbs will not light.
B.Alarm modules not properly seated in their
connector will prevent alarm point(s) from
functioning.
C.Alarm point pull-up resistors could be
burned providing no voltage at terminal 1.
7.2 Nonoperating Alarm System
A.Verify that the power source is operating
and that the V+ to V- voltage on the rear
terminals is in the range of 18 V to 28 V.
(Below 18 V, operation may prove erratic.)
Be sure to verify polarity.
B.If the power supply fuse blows each time
power is applied:
1. Check the Power Supply Parts List for
proper fuse size.
2. Remove Alarm System from the supply
and try again. If fuse holds, double
5
check polarity and reconnect. If fuse still
blows, remove all alarm modules and
flasher and try again. If the fuse blows at
this point, the problem has been isolated
to a short in the internal wiring.
C. If power remains on, but any or all push but-
tons (SILENCE, TEST, RESET, ACKNOWLEDGE) do not appear to function:
1. Verify proper wiring by measuring the
voltage at terminal T, A, S and/or R as
applicable. Voltage measurements are
taken with respect to the V- terminal and
should in all cases be zero volts with the
button released and V+ (20-28 Vdc) with
the button depressed.
2. If the problem persists, the Flasher
Module is suspect. Replace the Flasher
Module and try again.
3. Be alert to the possibility that a single
board can, under unique conditions,
cause what appears to be a system malfunction. The following is a typical example:
a) If a large group of F3A points comes
on fast flashing rather than intermittent flashing during TEST, one board
can be sending a signal to all of the
others. Afailure of the flasher or the
test circuit is not necessarily indicated.
b) In the above case, remove Alarm
Modules sequentially and repeat testing until the trouble clears.
c) As a general rule, common sense in
isolating the trouble will prevail. If one
or more alarm boards appear to be
malfunctioning, remove them from the
system entirely before continuing. Fill
their positions with boards from the
upper left or lower right of the system
so as to concentrate known good
modules, and then proceed with diagnostic and analysis of the remainder.
Working with several scattered
diverse problems simultaneously is
nearly always self-defeating.
d)Refer to the section on Step-by-step
Procedures for further information.

7.3 Step-by-step Procedures
A. Check the system voltage and verify polar-
ity of supply input voltage and that the system voltage lines are not grounded.
B. Isolate all external devices except the input
power connections.
C. Unseat all alarm/lamp modules except the
No. 1 alarm module. At this point the only
items plugged into the alarm chassis are
one alarm module and flasher horn driver
module. Jumper the push-button input terminals on the master module to simulate
the correct connections for operations of
the alarm system (since only normally open
push-button contacts are used for all pushbutton functions, no connections will be
made for normal operation).
D. Connect a simulating set of devices to
replace the field contact as shown on the
electrical schematics on terminals 1 and 2.
E. Using the simulated field contacts and fol-
owing the test procedure instructions, check
the sequence operation of the annunciator.
F. If the first alarm module does not operate
correctly, replace the flasher module to
eliminate the possibility of a faulty flasher
module. Once established that the flasher
is functional, the fault will probably lie in
one of the following areas:
1. A faulty alarm/lamp module.
2. No +24 Vdc at terminal 1.
3. Chassis wiring fault such as a short or
cold solder joint.
G.After checking for proper operation of termi-
nal 1 output, remove the No. 1 alarm module and insert the No. 2 alarm module in
the No. 1 chassis position. If the No. 2
alarm module operates correctly, this indicates that the No. 1 alarm module is faulty.
Should the No. 2 alarm module not function in the No. 1 chassis position, the fault
lies in the chassis wiring.
H. If the failure is isolated in the chassis
wiring, remove each alarm input terminal
plate and inspect for foreign objects which
might cause a short. Review for any damaged wiring or broken connections to the
printed circuit board connector. Finally, if
the above procedure does not produce a
solution to the fault, a thorough review of all
solder joints is recommended.
I. Should No. 1 alarm function correctly, con-
tinue with the same procedure for checking
all alarm/lamps modules by seating each
module and using a simulating field contact
switch at each alarm point. After the testing,
should all the alarm/lamp modules function
correctly, it must be assumed that the entire
alarm system and modules are not faulty.
At this point, the error is now confined to the
external wiring, possible push button or
external equipment miswiring, or a short in
the field contact wiring.
J. To avoid further damage to new alarm mod-
ules, do not place another alarm module
into an alarm position that has produced circuit board trace failures. Adetailed review of
the trace failure will determine the reason
for the failure. In most cases, damage can
be the result of high voltage inputs or shorting in the chassis.
8.0 ALARM MODULES
8.1 Integral/Push-button Flasher Modules
The X11SN System can operate with either an
integral flasher or push-button flasher module.
These flasher modules function to provide slow
and fast flashing signals and filter the pushbutton signals to a V- active mode for the
alarm cards. The integral flasher is identified
by a red handle. The push-button flasher module is identified by the membrane switch and
MAINTENANCE and POWER LED indication.
The flasher module has the following specific
field selectable options:
A.Slave or master flashing module control.
B.ISA options 2 and/or 3.
C. Normally energized/deenergized common
trouble alarm output.
D. Time selectable auto-silence on Horn 1.
E.Normally open/closed contact on mainte-
nance required relay.
F. Normally open/closed contacts on alarm
point auxiliary relays (integral modules
only).
Slave (S) or Master (M) Flashing module is
controlled by slide switch SW1. In the M position, the flasher will provide slow and fast
flashing rates for all synchronized chassis.
Chassis flashing is synchronized by connecting similar rear terminals F1, F2, and V-.
