Page 4: Product Overview
RS-485 Peripheral Expansion Bus, up to 16 RA400 panels may be connected to a single TMS/LC2000. The RA400 is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for harsh industrial/ outdoor environments. The visual indicator employs an ultra-bright, LED strobe for maximum reliability in extreme temperatures. -

1.2 TEST Pushbutton The TEST pushbutton is used to confirm operation of the front panel audible and visual alarms. For tank fill operations, TEST should always be used to confirm RA400 operation prior to filling the tank. 1.3 RESET Pushbutton The RESET pushbutton is used to acknowledge alarm conditions. -
Page 7: Power Indicator Led
1.6 Power Indicator LED A front panel LED indicator is provided to confirm that the RA400 is being supplied with AC power, and that the RA400 DC power supply is operational. DANGER! DO NOT assume that failure of the Power Indicator LED to operate is an indication that the AC connection is not LIVE. -
Page 8: Installation
2.0 Installation The RA400 is designed for both indoor and outdoor installation. If the unit is to be installed outdoors, the installer must pay attention to local code requirements for outdoor conduit runs containing AC line voltage. WARNING! This device is designed for Ordinary Location, Non-Hazardous installation only, as defined by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Electrical Code (NEC). - Page 9 (This page intentionally left blank) RA400 Instruction Manual - 2017-07-30.docx Page 9 of 22 July 30, 2017...

Current version TMS/LC2000 consoles have the same type of plug-in terminal connector and wiring designations as the RA400, as illustrated in Figure 2.2.2.4-1 below. Previous versions have a 6- position modular jack. If the board type is a previous version, you will need to replace it with a current revision board. -
Page 16: Line Termination Resistor
The RS-485 bus requires that the end-of-run device be terminated with a 120-ohm resistor. This is accomplished by setting the LINE TERMINATION switch to “ON” if the selected RA400 is the last device on the bus. Otherwise this switch should be set to “OFF”. -
Page 17: Configuration
The TMS/LC2000 has the ability to individually address up to sixteen (16) RA400 remote displays. Rotary dipswitch S3 is used to select unique addresses for each RA400 connected to the same TMS/LC2000. Note that address order is not important, and that RA400 device addresses are independent of other TMS/LC2000 smart peripheral types. -
Page 18: Setting Shutoff Delay - S4
3.1.2 Setting Shutoff Delay – S4 The RA400 provides the user with selectable automatic shutoff delays for the audible alarm. Once initiated, the audible alarm will turn off after the selected time delay has elapsed, or immediately if acknowledged at the front panel. This feature is useful in applications where continued operation of an unacknowledged audible alarm poses a nuisance or noise abatement problem. -
