  • Page 11: Application

    Application Overview All annunciator front panels include Normal, Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble LEDs. The CMDN and SMDN reduced complement annunciators provide only the Next/Acknowledge and Back Switches. The CMDN-C/SMDN-C are full complement annunciators, providing an Enable/Disable key switch, Reset, Alarm Silence with LED, Trouble Silence with LED, Drill/All Call with LED, Next/Acknowledge, and Back switches.
  • Page 12 When connected to an FCC/DCPU, the CMDN(-C)/SMDN(-C)s are networked together to form a Remote Alpha-Numeric Display Annunciator Network. Each DCPU port can support up to 32 annunciators in any combination.
  • Page 13 When configured for use with an LSS4 panel, up to 52 messages can be stored in each annunciator. An LSS4 panel can support up to four annunciators in any combination, including RSA4 series annunciators. The Remote Interface (LSS4-AFP) is only needed on Note: motherboard revisions prior to 1.5. CMDN Manual firealarmresources.com...

  • Page 14: Operation

    CMDN(-C)/SMDN(-C) requires one panel address for each 88 messages, with a maximum of 4 consecutive addresses (352 messages) per display. Do not use address 41. Each CMDN(-C)/SMDN(-C) panel address must be configured in the IRC-3 Data Entry or FCC Compiler Program as a SAN Annunciator with SAN-COM enabled.

  • Page 15: User Operations

    When connected to an LSS4 panel, the CMDN annunciator is defined as device address #15. RSA4-CPUs used with point annunciators may be with CMDN/SMDNs on the LSS4 RS-485 circuit as long as there are no more than four remote annunciators total on the circuit. The remote annunciator’s sub-addresses must not conflict.
