The Area Alarm Network Communications Board for the BeaconMedaes TotalAlert provides the same functions as the Area Alarm Connector P.C. Board and also connects to the facility’s Ethernet. This connection allows optional communication with the Master Alarm, enabling it to monitor the Area Alarm.

To replace the transducer P6819 for the BeaconMedæs MedPlus TotalAlert area alarm, follow these steps:

1. Check if the transducer shows a slow steady flash on its heartbeat LED. If yes, replace the transducer.
2. Ensure the transducer is connected properly. If not, reconnect it properly.
3. Inspect the transducer wiring for pinching. If wiring is pinched, replace the transducer wiring.
4. If the issue persists after these steps, replace the transducer following procedure 4.23 (referenced on page 4-62 of the manual).

Always disconnect power before servicing and follow standard safety procedures.
