Reno A&E B Series Installation And Operating Instructions

SINGLE CHANNEL LOOP DETECTORS
I. General
Please verify source voltage before applying power. The model designation indicates the input power required, output
configuration, sensitivity boost configuration, and Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure configuration for the detector as follows.
Model B-xx-xx-x
NOTE: Models B-3, B-4 and B-8 are fitted with a rear mounted, 11 pin, and Amphenol style connector. Models
B-1, B-5, and B-35 are fitted with a rear mounted, 10-pin, MS style connector.
The detector is factory configured for either Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure operation (see unit side label). The output state of
each output relay in either Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure mode is listed in the table below.

II. Indicators and Controls
i.

Power / Detect / Fail LEDs

The detector has one green and two red LED indicators that are used to provide an indication of the detector's
power status, output state, and/or loop failure conditions. The table below lists the various indications and their
meanings.
Status
Off
On
Flash
NOTE: If the supply voltage drops below 75% of the nominal level, the PWR LED will turn off, providing a
visual indication of low supply voltage. Model B detectors will operate with supply voltage as low as 70% of
nominal supply voltage.
ii.

Frequency LEDs:

The four red LED indicators provide an indication of the current detector operating frequency.
iii.

Front Panel Pushbutton Switches:

Two momentary contact pushbutton switches are used to control the following.
RESET - Push the front panel mounted pushbutton labeled RESET to reset the detector.
