CONNECTING TO A REMOTE ALARM (IN-SERVICE)
The Medical IntelliSwitch™ is capable of interfacing to CONCOA’s Advantium Rx Remote Alarm. The 6-pin remote alarm interface
connector is located at the bottom of the Medical IntelliSwitch™ cabinet (See Figure 1). There are two ways to connect the product to
an alarm. Ready made cable assemblies for connecting the Medical IntelliSwitch™ to an Advantium Rx Alarm are available from the
factory. Contact your local CONCOA Distributor or call 1-800-225-0473 for information. The other option is to build your own
cable assembly to connect the two devices. For convenience, a mating 6-pin connector is provided to use in building this cable
assembly. The Advantium Rx Alarm comes with a mating connector that is used to attach to the remote alarm side of the cable
assembly. The recommended cable for this assembly is 22 AWG, 6-conductor stranded wire (Alpha # 1176C or equivalent). The
length of this cable should be limited to 1500 feet.
Cut the 6-conductor cable to length. Remove the outer jacket of the cable to expose approximately 3/4 inch of the internal conductors
on both sides of the cable. Strip away 1/4-inch of the insulation on each of the conductors.
On the 6-pin connector, slide the protective cover, cable retainer, and locking nut over the end of the cable as shown in Figure 6.
