Limitations of the Alarm System or Device While your alarm system or device is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any security product, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include: •...
General Information The EnviroAlert EA200 and EA400 provide alarm signals when monitored conditions ® exceed the user-programmable HIGH LIMIT or LOW LIMIT set points. The alarm signals are provided via relay outputs that can operate with alarm panels, process controls, security systems, or other similar automated equipment. All setup is done using the front panel keys and the LCD display , wh ich uses icons that indicate the setup and parameter being configured.

• At bottom of EA200 / EA400, pull the rear mounting plate down and away from the EA200 / EA400 main chassis. The retainer tabs on the main chassis will disengage from the holes in the rear mounting plate. • Completely remove the mounting plate from the EA200 / EA400 main chassis by disengaging the mounting plate upper hinges from the mating tabs on the EA200 / EA400 main chassis.
Connecting the EA200 / EA400 Note: Make certain all wiring to be connected is passing through the opening in cen- ter of mounting plate. Note: All terminals must be connected to a Class 2 Power Limited Circuit complying with the National Electric Code NFPA 70, Article 725. Note: Where required, this equipment is to be isolated from the mains supply by a limited power source as specified in EN60950.

Making certain wiring is not pinched or otherwise stressed, re-install the EA200 / EA400 main chassis onto the mounting plate (installed in Mounting the EA200 / EA400) as follows: • Engage the mating tabs on the EA200 / EA400 main chassis into the mounting plate upper hinges.
Setup When powered-up, the EA200 / EA400 is ready to step through the stages where programming settings are entered. As an overview, the EA200 / EA400 entry progression is as follows: Lock / Unlock Date / Time Set Program (set up) Zones Note: Unless otherwise noted, all steps apply equally to EA200 or EA400.
Setting Time and Date Press the TIME/DATE key. The Hours display appears. Enter current hour (flashing) by using the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to scroll to the current hour, then press the ENTER key. Enter the remaining data (in the sequence as shown below) for current date and time by similarly using the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to scroll to the desired setting, and then pressing the ENTER key.
Programming the Zones Program each Zone as follows: Press the ZONE key. The Zone display appears. Enter the Zone desired to be programmed (flashing) by using the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to scroll to the desired Zone, and then press the ENTER key. Enter the remaining data (from the choices in the sequence shown below) for the Zone being programmed by similarly using the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to scroll to the desired setting, and then pressing the ENTER key.
Page 37
Note: Sensor types (“Red”, “Blue” or plain °F or °C) refer to the Zone programming required for the type of sensor used: • settings are used for current-version thermistor temperature sensors TEMP-H-S and TEMP-H-W. • settings are used for current-version thermistor temperature sensors TEMP-L-S and TEMP-L-W.
Page 38
Note: If a Zone is not to be used, set the Zone to Disabled ( ). If an unconnected Zone is not disabled, nuisance alarms may occur. Proceed to step 1 above to program other Zones. Note: All sensor selections (other than Disabled) require that the Zone be properly connected to the sensor type entered during programming.
Page 39
When the Delay Time ( ) icon appears, if desired enter a Delay Time (in minutes) to be programmed (flashing) by using the INCREASE or DECREASE keys to scroll to the desired value, and then press the ENTER key. (Refer to Delay Time Entry Mode icon in Display and Icons for more information about delay function.) If delay is not desired, set to “0”, press the ENTER key, and proceed.
Offset Adjustment If desired, offset allows the temperature or humidity reading for the selected Zone to be offset by a value that correlates the reading displayed on the EA200 / EA400 with that of existing equipment. Note: Allow a minimum of 15 minutes for temperature being monitored to stabilize before making offset adjustments.
Changing Programming for a Previously Programmed Zone A Zone can be re-programmed as desired at any time. Press the ZONE key and perform Zone programming as described in Programming the Zones. Locking the Program Settings The EA200 / EA400 can be locked after programming. Lock the EA200 / EA400 as follows: Simultaneously press and release the ALARM SILENCE and ENTER keys.
Normal (Non-Alarm) Mode Display An example of a running display for a Zone programmed to monitor temperature is shown below. In general, normal non-alarm indication for any mode shows: The measured data pertaining to the Zone. No flashing data. (Alarm) icon. Alarm Mode Displays An example of a Alarm Display is shown below.
An alarm indication for any mode is shown by: Flashing data corresponding to the Zone where the alarm is occurring. (Alarm) icon will flash during an alarm, and is solid if time delay is activated. When time delay expires, icon will flash indicating an output relay has been activated for the Zone in alarm.
Press the DECREASE key to go to the next stored alarm. The next alarm is displayed as described in step 1. Press ALARM HISTORY to go back to the normal display. Clear the alarm history by pressing and holding the ALARM HISTORY key until (Clear) is displayed, then release the key.
