AN24 & AN28 Annunciators

Setup and Programming 

Overview 

There are no jumpers involved in the setup process  
of the annunciator. The sequence selector switch 
located on the rear of the annunciator above the 
signal connector must be set accordingly for 
annunciator sequence desired. 
Normally open or normally closed input setup, 
relay fail-safe, and additional sequence options 
are programmed with the front panel pushbuttons. 

After power and signal connections have been 
completed and verified, and the sequence selector 
switch has been set appropriately, apply power to 
the annunciator.

Pushbutton Descriptions 

SILENCE 

Silences the audible alarm without affecting the 
indication sequence states. This pushbutton may be 
disabled (see 

Audible Horn Enable/Disable

, page 

14

). 

ACK (Acknowledge) 

Acknowledges alarmed channels. See selected 
sequence details for complete function description 
(see 

Full Sequence Descriptions

, page 

16

). 

RESET 

Resets all acknowledged channels. This button is not 
used on ISA sequences A, F1A, and F2A, which reset 
acknowledged channels automatically. See selected 
sequence details for complete function description 
(see 

Full Sequence Descriptions

, page 

16

). 

LED TEST

 (SILENCE & ACK)

 

Press and release the 

SILENCE

 and 

ACK

 

pushbuttons to flash the channel indicator LEDs  
for a lamp test. 

Full Function Test 

Press and hold 

SILENCE

 and 

ACK

 for 5 seconds to 

perform a function test. This tests the sequence 
operation and hardware by simulating alarm inputs 
that are cleared in the normal sequence progression. 

During the function test, all channels enter a 
simulated alarm state for 3 seconds. All LEDs, 
pushbuttons, relays, and the audible alarm will follow 
the selected sequence as if the simulated alarm 
inputs were real. After 3 seconds, the alarms may be 
cleared as normal for the selected sequence. 

Multiple Unit First-Out Indication 

If multiple annunciators are connected for multiple unit 
shared first-out indication (see page 

10

), only one 

input from all connected devices will display as a first-
out alarm. 
Each individual annunciator will acknowledge and 
reset the channels on that unit using the pushbuttons 
on that unit, and independent of all other connected 
units. Only the unit displaying the first-out will sound 
the audible alarm. 
It is recommended that all connected units be set for 
the same first-out sequence. 

Shared Front Panel Buttons 

To control all the units from any of the front panels, 
connect the SIL, ACK, RST, and COM terminals on 
each unit.
