Definitions

Area Alarm Panel
Alarm panel that monitors medical gas and
vacuum systems serving a specific area.
Auxiliary Fault Relay (optional)
A single-pole double-throw dry-contact relay
output located on annunciator module. Used
to activate a remote alarm or building
management system. The relay will activate
whenever ANY audible alarm on panel is in
progress. Pressing MUTE
annunciator module deactivates relay until
audible alarm is again reactivated. Relay
contact ratings are 2 A @ 30 VDC/0.5 A @
125 VAC.
Dry-Contact
An electrical contact that is isolated or
unconnected from any electrical source.
General Fault Relay
A single-pole double-throw dry-contact relay
output located on annunciator module. Used
to activate a remote alarm or building
management system. The relay will activate
whenever ANY audible alarm on panel is in
progress. Unlike Auxiliary Fault Relay,
pressing MUTE button on annunciator
module WILL NOT deactivate relay. The
General Fault Relay will deactivate only after
alarm condition is corrected and alarm panel
resumes normal status. Relay contact ratings
are 2 A @ 30 VDC/0.5 A @ 125 VAC.

Light Emitting Diode
Local Sensors
Pressure/vacuum sensors that are mounted
inside alarm panel box. The sensor rough-in
must be piped to medical gas/vacuum
pipelines.
Master Alarm Panel
Alarm panel that monitors medical gas and
vacuum source equipment and main pipelines.
Remote Sensors
Pressure/vacuum sensors that are mounted
outside of alarm panel box. Sensor rough-ins
may be mounted separately or ganged together
near pressure/vacuum pipelines. Sensors must
then be wired to alarm panel.
Alarm Configuration

All MEGA2 alarm panels are factory pre-
configured. The configuration of alarm panel
varies dependent upon customer's
requirements.
Two sizes of alarm panels are available. The
small alarm panel (Figure 1) will accommodate
an annunciator module with four alarm
modules. The large alarm panel (Figure 2) will
accommodate an annunciator module with
eight alarm modules.
