Remote Serial Annunciator - Kohler KG40 Operation

6.1.15 Remote Serial Annunciator

The RSA III is an annunciator panel offered in several kit configurations to support Kohler power equipment. See Figure 84. The
RSA III is a remote serial annunciator that monitors the status of the generator set and/or ATS from a remote location. The
RSA III alerts the operator through visual and audible signals using LED indication and a horn. An alarm silence / lamp test
switch is included.
The RSA III meets NFPA 110, Level 1 (2005) applications that require remote controls and alarms be powered by a storage
battery such as the engine starting battery. AC adaptor kit GM62466-KP1 is available when NFPA is not required.
The front panel decals include areas that can be used to identify user-selected fault inputs and identify associated power system
equipment.
An RSA III annunciator can be used for a single generator set or with a combination of a generator set and automatic transfer
switch. In systems using more than a single RSA III, one must be designated as the master device to broadcast to additional
RSA III annunciators, designated as slave devices. Up to five RSA III slave devices can be used with an RSA III master device.
All RSA III annunciators are factory set as the master device, but can be changed to a slave device using a PC and SiteTech™
software that connects to the RSA III front panel via a universal serial bus (USB) connection.
The RSA II and RSA 1000 can be connected with the RSA III provided that the master remote annunciator is an RSA III.
Refer to TT-1625 Remote Serial Annunciator (RSA III) Kits for operation and installation instructions.

A personal computer with SiteTech software is required to make the RSA III functional. SiteTech is available to Kohler
authorized distributors and dealers. Refer to TP-6701, SiteTech Software Operation Manual, for more information.
The RSA III kits include components for surface mounting or flush mounting.
Figure 85 shows the status of the system ready LED, generator set running LED, communication status LED, common fault
LED, common fault output, and horn for each fault or status condition.
If a fault occurs, the RSA III horn activates and the corresponding LED illuminates. The following paragraphs describe specific
features of the RSA III.

If the RSA III is used with an Ethernet communication network, order Modbus Ethernet converter GM41143-KP2 and refer to
TT-1405 Converters, Connections, and Controller Setup for Network Communication for system installation.
