Instruction 5700-9001

GDA-1600 16-Channel Controller

Entries

Description

Acknowledge Turning

Acknowledge

(not available on Alarm 1) allows the common relay to be

deactivated during alarm conditions by an

Alarm Reset

. This is useful if an audible

device is being driven by the relay.

All relays are rated at 5 Amp for 28 VDC and 250 ~VAC

RESISTIVE

loads.

IMPORTANT:

Appropriate diode (DC loads) or MOV (AC loads)

snubber devices must be installed with inductive loads to prevent RFI

noise spikes. Relay wiring should be kept separate from low level signal

wiring.

3.3.2

Discrete Relay “Failsafe” Mode

Discrete relay options (P/N 5700-0012) may also be configured to function in a

Failsafe

mode using the System Setup menu shown in Figure 3.12. Entering YES causes these

discrete relays to have energized coils when no alarm condition exists for the associated

channel and de-energized coils when the alarm occurs.

Failsafe

is useful for indicating

failed relay coils and loss of power conditions.

IMPORTANT:

Zoning jumpers (P/N 5700-0012) as seen in Figure

4.4 should not be used when Discrete Relays menus are set for

failsafe.

Zoning jumpers cause ANY relay in the zone to energize ALL

other relays in the same zone. Zoning of failsafe relays may be

accomplished with wiring at the relay contact terminals.

3.3.3

Common Horn Relay

Local Piezo

The GDA-1600 is equipped with a low decibel audible piezo which chirps when keys are

pressed and may be configured to audibly indicate alarm conditions. The common horn

relay is similar to the common A1 & A2 common relays.
