with the following remote devices:
•
Remote LED Annunciator Module (R-LAM)
•
Remote Display Control Module (RDCM)
•
Model ATM-L Annunciator Driver Module
•
Model ATM-R Relay Driver Module

REMOTE LED ANNUNCIATOR MODULE
The Remote LED Annunciator Module (R-LAM) is an optional module which drives the display of
zone information and fits into the Remote Enclosure. The R-LAM provides 48 independently-
programmable microcontroller-controlled LEDs (red/yellow) with space available to place a label to
identify the event being annunciated. In addition, three system-level LED outputs are provided for
the following general conditions: Module Power, Trouble and Signal Silenced. Two system-level input
circuits for functional switches are reserved for Signal Silence and System Acknowledge/Self-Test
commands.
Note:
The file
LAM label template.doc
is provided on the ARIES NET
Link
User Disk, P/N
06-220289-002, to assist with customized labeling
.
Text for the labels can be entered into
preset form fields (up to two lines of text per window). Cut the strips with a scissors and slide
them into the LAM from the top, retaining the top tab for easy removal.
Refer to Figure 1-12 for an illustration of the Remote LED Annunciator Module. Refer to Appendix
E for an illustration of the integrated LED Annunciator used in Canadian Applications.
