• Outputs for 4 Wire resettable Smoke Power Supply, Auxiliary Power Supply, and an interface to the Mircom
RTI-1 Remote Trouble Indicator.
• RS-485 Interface for Remote Annunciators. Remote Annunciators do not occupy a node on the network. Up to
seven annunciators can be connected per node.
• Three Level Password Protection with field settable definition which enables the installer to determine what
functions are accessible for each level of password
• Four queues for acknowledge with Alarm ACK, Supervisory ACK, Trouble ACK, and BLDG (Monitor) ACK LED
indicators and pushbuttons.
• Auxiliary Form-C Relay Contacts for Common Alarm, Common Supervisory, and Common Trouble.
• RS-232 Port for remote system printer or “CRT terminal”.
• Two Event History Logs; one for Alarm related events and one for all events.
• Large 4 line by 20 character alphanumeric, back-lit LCD Display with user-friendly menu system.
• Common Controls and Indicators for System Reset, Lamp Test, Fire Drill, Signal Silence, General Alarm,
Automatic Alm Sig Stop (Ack)
, AC On, CPU Fault, and Ground Fault.
• Two Spare configurable switches and LED Indicators.
• 16 Zone configurable LED (bi-coloured) Annunciator with slide-in labels for Zone Description.
• Provides drift compensation for ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors
• Provides Signal Coding of signal circuits for easy alarm identification (code consists of 1 to 4 digits, each digit
consisting of 1-15 pulses on the signal)
• Selection for Canadian (ULC) or USA (ULI) requirements for Smoke Sensor sensitivity.
• Extensive transient protection.
• Surface Mountable Enclosures with removable doors for easy installation and service. Flush trims available.
