Annunciator with Remote Monitoring for BDA Emergency Radio System
*NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Description

The DuraComm Annunciator provides visual and audible alarms at the installed location of a BDA in an Emergency In-
Building Radio system. This annunciator is designed to monitor NFPA 72 IDC Circuits and report the status to a Fire alarm
panel via Form C relay contacts. Power input is 90 to 264 VAC with an internal 12 Volt 12-hour backup battery. A loud
audible alarm will sound when a fault or trouble alarm is triggered. The Alarm can be muted until a normal condition is
restored, or until a scheduled daily unmute occurs. Audible alarm Mute, Unmute, and Self-Test buttons are located
inside for security.
It also provides remote monitoring via Ethernet. This allows the test point voltages to be monitored in relation to their
alarm points by a bar graph for each monitored input. The internal battery backup voltage is also monitored with its own
bar graph. Password-protected remote-control functions allow the system designer to set alarm voltages, manage user
logins, schedule audible alarm unmute, and many other features. Notifications of alarms can be sent via email or SNMP
traps. The DuraComm Annunciator comes with a 3-year warranty.

  • Page 6: Duracomm Annunciator Internal Operation Basics

    DuraComm Annunciator Internal Operation Basics The Full Test Point Voltage for the DuraComm Annunciator is reduced by the internal current limiter for each circuit (10ma for each channel CH1 to CH6). The voltage drop is minimal for a normal state, trouble alarm, open circuit fault, or test point short to GND1.
  • Page 7 Log measurements and /or alarms to the on-board SD card by specifying number of minutes between samples, and “Log Alarms”. Set up email notifications. Set up SNMP monitoring for larger systems. The audible alarm can be muted manually. The mute can be cancelled manually, automatically at one or more specific times of the day by setting up a schedule.
