Introduction

The RAM-300LCD is a remote annunciator used for the FA-300 Series and FX-350/351 Series
Fire Alarm Panels. It provides remote access to the fire alarm panel.

The RAM-300LCD has an LCD display, common feature LEDs and pushbuttons, as well as an
alpha numeric keypad for the LCD.

The RAM-300LCD comes complete with an enclosure and can be surface mounted.
