LCD-40 Series Remote Fire Annunciators
The LCD-40 Series, consisting of the LCD-40 and LCD-40L, are com-
pact, attractive, 40-character backlit LCD fire annunciators that are
capable of displaying English-language text. They mimic the display on
the MS-9200 main control circuit board and will annunciate device type,
point alarm, trouble or supervisory condition, zone assignment plus any
custom alpha labels programmed into the control panel. They also pro-
vide system status LEDs to display power, alarm, trouble and supervi-
sory conditions. Additionally, the LCD-40 is capable of performing
critical system functions such as acknowledge, silence, reset and drill, remotely from the host control panel.
Communication between the control panel and the LCD-40 Series is accomplished over a serial interface employing
the EIA-485 communication standard (DIM-485 option module is required). Up to 32 LCD-40 Series Annunciators
may be connected to the EIA-485 circuit. The annunciators may be powered from the host FACP or a remote UL
listed filtered power supply such as the Fire•Lite FCPS-24F. Refer to "LCD-40 Series Annunciator Wiring" on page
88, for detailed wiring requirements and "System Edit" on page 61, for information on programming the MS-9200
for annunciator use.
Note: If software with either the Part Number 73750 or 73829 is installed in the MS-9200, the LCD-40 Series must
have software with a Part Number of 73779 or 73829 to operate with the FACP. If software with a Part Number of
#M9200V20 or higher is installed in the MS-9200, the LCD-40 Series must have software with a Part Number of
#LCD40V20 or higher to operate with the FACP.
LDM Series Lamp Driver Modules - Graphic Annunciator
The LDM Series Lamp Driver Modules, which consist of the LDM-32F master and LDM-E32F expander modules,
are used to provide an interface to a custom graphic LED annunciator. The master module provides power and con-
trol for a maximum of three expander modules. The LDM-32F and LDM-E32F have output connectors which are
used to drive lamps or LEDs and input connectors which are used for remote switch functions. Refer to the LDM
Series Lamp Drive Modules Manual for a complete description. See "AFM and LDM Series Wiring" on page 89, for
wiring requirements and "System Edit" on page 61, for details on programming the MS-9200 for annunciator use.
The LDM-32F
The Lamp Drive Module LDM-32F has 32 alarm lamp/LED driver outputs which sink cur-
rent to system common (-) on activation. A single positive (+) voltage is required to supply
total operating power for all lamps or LEDs when all drivers are activated. The LDM-32F
provides a separate driver for system trouble and inputs for a local lamp test switch. A
maximum of 16 external control switches may be wired to the LDM-32F. DIP switch SW3
is used to enable or disable the onboard piezo sounder, enable remote switch functions,
select a flashing LED function for new alarms and troubles and other functions. Switch
SW4 is used to configure the module to annunciate 32 alarms or 16 alarms and 16 troubles.
A green On Line LED flashes to indicate ongoing communications with the host FACP.
One LDM-32F supports up to three LDM-E32F modules. The LDM-32F is supplied with
four standoffs and screws for mounting to a CHS-4L chassis or custom backbox.
The LDM-E32F
Each LDM-E32F expander module provides 32 additional lamp/LED driver outputs from
J5, J6, J7 and J8. The expander module has a slide switch, SW4, for selecting alarm only
or alarm and trouble annunciation and an input for a local lamp test switch. In alarm only
mode, use only one LDM-32F and one LDM-E32F for a maximum of 56 alarm indicators
and 8 system status indicators. In alarm/trouble mode, use one LDM-32F and three LDM-
E32Fs for a maximum of 56 alarm indicators, 56 trouble indicators, 16 status indicators
and 64 optional control switch inputs. Multiple sets of LDM-32Fs with LDM-E32F
expanders increase the system annunciation capabilities beyond 56 zones or points. This is
possible by various settings of address switches SW1 and SW2 on the LDM-32F (refer to
Appendices). Each LDM-E32F is supplied with a 26-conductor expander ribbon cable,
four standoffs and screws.
