  • Page 14: Installation

    Overview The AES 7788F combines the electronics of an AES Subscriber unit, battery, a radio transceiver and any approved modules such as the 7794, 7770, 7762 or 7067 into its enclosure. It is typically used to communicate alarm and status conditions of an alarm panel to a centrally located alarm monitoring facility via radio transmissions.
  • Page 15 AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual  Mount antenna as high as possible, on or in the structure, with attics and rooftop locations preferred. Height need not be higher than is required to overcome nearby obstructions to the signal path if any additional height would use a longer coax length.

  • Page 20 AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual If the Subscriber does not hear another transmission from any other unit on the network for more than 1-minute, (as might be the case if the antenna was cut), the Subscriber begins sending a test message to another unit ID from its internal routing table.
  • Page 21 Wiring – Antenna Cut / Trouble Output (J4) (Continued) Trouble Annunciator The AES 7740 Local Annunciator is the Space Age Electronics, Inc. Infinity Series Model IAMAUDK or IAMAUDR annunciator. This annunciator may be used to locally indicate Subscriber trouble condition using Trouble Output J4.

     Unused zones should be programmed as bypassed.  Unused zones should NOT have EOL resistors installed. The 7788F is intended for use in UL installations. The zone input wiring and programming is limited to appropriate configurations for that purpose.
  • Page 23 Note: J4 Trouble output: This output is required for local annunciation of a trouble condition that exists on the 7788F including communication failure. The FACP should not activate its own Trouble Relay upon this activation as that may add to the RF traffic problem being reported by the J4 activation in the first place.
