Section One: The AFM Annunciator Fixed Modules provide the control panel with discrete display and control points. These annunciators turn their LEDs ON and OFF as commanded by the system's CPU. In addition, they report selected switch activations to the CPU for action. Limits The AFM-16AT is intended for use in systems that require 16 annunciation points or less.

Wiring Communication between the control panel and the AFM is accomplished over a two-wire power-limited EIA-485 serial interface (formerly referred to as RS-485). This communica- tion, to include the wiring, is supervised by the control panel's CPU. Loss of communication results in "System Trouble"...
Section Two: Inventory AFM-16AT (H = 8-3/8" W = 4-3/8" D = 1-3/8") The Annunciator Fixed Module-16AT con- tains 16 red alarm and 16 yellow trouble LEDs, 16 momentary touch-pad switches, a system trouble LED, an ON LINE/POWER LED, and a local piezo sounder with a silence/acknowledge switch for audible in- dication of alarm and trouble conditions.

ABF-1 (H = 9-15/16" W = 4-5/8" D = 2-1/2") The Annunciator Flush Box-1 provides for the remote mounting of the AFM annunciator in a flush-mount enclosure . The ABF-1 includes a trim plate (height=11" width=6-1/4"), mounting hardware, and an adhesive-backed annuncia- tor label.
Section Three: Installation AFM Installation Summary Run the EIA-485 and power circuits out to the location of the annunciator. Select an appropriate knockout on the backbox and mount the backbox. Connect the backbox to a solid ground, such as a properly grounded metallic cold water pipe.
Figure 3-1: Mounting the Backbox Select a knockout on the backbox. Mount the backbox and draw all annunciator, power, and telephone wiring (if employing an APJ-1) into the enclosure. Connect the backbox to a solid ground such as a metallic cold water pipe. Figure 3-2: Terminating the Shield The EIA-485 circuit should be wired using a twisted-pair cable having a Characteristic Impedance of approximately 120 ohms.

AFM-16AT Slide-In Labels Slide-in labels for the AFM-16AT Annunciator are contained on the following pages. Two labels are required for the AFM– 16AT - one for the left-hand side and one for the right-hand side of the faceplate. Each label has a distinctive format. Three types of labels are offered: Set A: Factory-printed zone labels: These provide labels for alarm zones 1 through 16.

AFM-32A Slide-In Labels Slide-in labels for the AFM-32A Annunciator are contained on the following pages. Two labels are required for the AFM– 32A - one for the left-hand side and one for the right-hand side of the faceplate. Each label has a distinctive format. Three types of labels are offered: Set D: Factory-printed zone labels: These provide labels for alarm zones 1 through 32.
Figure 3-3: Inserting Display Labels Remove the center pages of this manual. If using the custom user display labels, type the appropriate information on the labels. Carefully cut out the labels and insert them into the AFM by slipping them into the label slots on the back side of the annunciator face plate.
Figure 3-5: Mounting the Dress Plate Position the annunciator over the screw studs on the dress plate and secure with two nuts and lock washers provided. ABF-1 Dress Plate Figure 3-6: Applying the Annunciator Label Remove backing from adhesive-backed Annunciator Label and affix the label to the bottom of the ABF-1 Dress Plate as illustrated.
Figure 3-7: Installing AFM Options If employing an Annunciator Key Switch (AKS-1), mount the switch to the ABF-1 Dress Plate. Plug the switch leads from the AKS-1 into Connector J4 on the annunciator. If employing an Annunciator Phone Jack (APJ-1), mount the jack to the ABF-1 Dress Plate.
Figure 3-8: AFM Field Connections Connect the annunciator and power wiring to the terminal blocks on the back of the AFM as illustrated below. EIA-485 and power must be power-limited EIA-485 ( - ) EIA-485 (+) 24 VDC ( - ) 24 VDC (+) Caution! Failure to observe proper polarity on these connections may...
Installation Requirements The EIA-485 circuit that drives the AFM must be connected to the CPU as illustrated below. Connect the EIA-485 (+) and (-) lines to the CPU terminals. On a System 5000, ensure that the CPU U4 ROM software is Part Number 73085 or greater. Supervised and Power-limited EIA-485 (-) (+) EIA-485...
Figure 3-10: Main Power Supply Connections The AFM annunciator can be powered by an MPS-24A or an MPS-24B. This power run to the annunciator need not contain a Power Supervision Relay since loss of power is inherently supervised through communication loss. MPS-24A Main Power Supply : Connect the power run for the AFM to MPS-24A TB3 Terminals 1 (+) and 2 (-) (1 amp max) or Terminals 3 (+) and 4 (-) (3 amps max).
Section Four: Operation Figure 4-1: AFM-16AT Operation Acknowledge This switch serves two purposes: Switch 1) When pressed, it lights all the LEDs on the AFM (except the On Line LED) and sounds the piezo for as long as the switch is held down. 2) It acknowledges all status changes for the AFM.
Figure 4-2: AFM-32A Operation Local Silence/Acknowledge This switch serves two purposes: Switch 1) When pressed, it lights all the LEDs on the AFM (except the On Line LED) and sounds the piezo for as long as the switch is held down. 2) It acknowledges all status changes for the AFM.
Annunciator Operation Annunciator points "track" or follow those control panel points they are programmed to annunciate; they do not latch. The table below outlines the annunciation of various circuits and functions. Note: Control Switches marked "not used" will still function as local LAMP TEST or local ACKNOWLEDGE switches for their respective points.
