Remote LED Annunciator RAN/RLD- Remote LED Annunciator/Driver

The Remote Annunciator is capable of displaying the status of ten zones, each of which may be in "alarm", "trouble", or "supervisory" state. The RAN also has a beeper, which is used to audibly annunciate alarms and troubles. A keyswitch allows the user to silence and reset the RAN, as well as (optionally) the host panel. The RAN is connected to an S1000 Control Panel via an RS-485 network. Up to sixteen RANs may be connected on the network.

Product Description

The Remote Annunciator may be built in one of four configurations:

  1. 10-Zone Remote Annunciator - In this configuration, the RAN is capable of displaying the status of ten "zones", each of which may be in "alarm", have a "trouble", or have a "supervisory" problem. The RAN contains thirty-two LEDs - three for each zone, plus "Annunciator Status" and "System Trouble" LEDs. The RAN also has a beeper, which may be used to sound an alarm or indicate a trouble, eight switch inputs, and an 8-position DIP switch. The RAN is controlled via an RS-485 interface, using Cimetrics "9-Bit Network" protocol. The RAN is configured as a "network slave", and requires a "network master" to issue commands and poll it for information.
  2. 10-Zone RAN Expander - In this configuration, the RAN contains only the thirty zone LEDs (plus the LED driver ICs). This is a "slave" RAN, which connects to the "Slave RAN Output" port on the "master" 10-Zone Remote Annunciator. (The "master" and "slave" referred to here are not to be confused with the "network master" and "network slave" which apply only to RS-485 communications.)
  3. 10-Zone LED Driver RAN - This configuration of the RAN is identical to the 10-Zone Remote Annunciator , except that it has no on-board zone LEDs. The outputs of the LED driver ICs are routed to a 40-position terminal block, from which users are expected to connect external LEDs.
  4. 10-Zone LED Driver RAN Expander - This configuration of the RAN is identical to the 10-Zone RAN Expander, except that it has no on-board zone LEDs. The outputs of the LED driver ICs are routed to a 40-position terminal block, from which users are expected to connect external LEDs.

Front Panel

The RAN front panel has the following components:

  • Zone Annunciators - "Alarm", "Trouble", and "Supervisory" conditions are annunciated for ten zones. When the condition first occurs, the annunciator is solid; after the condition is silenced, the annunciator will flash.
  • Zone Labels - Each of the ten zones may be labeled with a description written on a slide-in label.
  • System Trouble - This annunciator follows the "Trouble" indicator on the main S1000 panel.
  • Annunciator Status - This annunciator is on solid when the unit is operating normally, and flashes if there is a communications trouble.
  • Lamp Test - When this switch is pressed, all of the LEDs on the RAN (and 10-zone expander) will light and remain lit as long as the switch is pressed.
  • Keylock - The key may only be inserted and removed in the "Normal" position. The other two positions are:
  • Reset - When the keylock is in this position, the S1000 may perform a system reset (if the "Reset Enable" DIP switch is "on").
  • Silence - When the keylock is in this position:
  • If the "Local Silence Enable" switch is "On", the RAN beeper will be silenced. This silence will last for ten minutes. If a new event occurs, the beeper will be un-silenced.
  • If the "Global Silence Enable" switch is "On", the S1000 will silence the system. This will operate as if the "Trouble Silence", "Alarm 1 Silence", and "Alarm 2 Silence" switches were pressed.
