Installing Annunciators And Expanders - GE Security RLCDF Installation And Operation Manual

Installing annunciators and expanders

For correct operation, the annunciator must be configured with a
unique network address, must have the correct baud rate setting,
and must be in communication with the FACP.
If you are installing a Remote Annunciator and Remote Expanders in
enclosures RA-ENC2 or RA-ENC3, you must install the expanders
first. Refer to the installation sheets for the enclosures for the
correct sequence of steps.
If you are installing Remote Annunciators and Remote Expanders
using separate electrical boxes, the wire runs between the boxes
must be enclosed in conduit.
If you are installing a remote key switch, the switch must be located
within the enclosure, or within 20 feet (6.1 m) of the enclosure with
the cabling installed in conduit.
To install an annunciator:
1. Secure the mounting ring to the electrical box, as shown in
Figure 4.
2. Use the DIP switch to set the correct network address and baud
rate. See Table 3 for DIP switch settings.
3. Connect the RS-485 riser to the appropriate annunciator
terminals, as per Figure 5 (Class A) or Figure 6 (Class B).
