System Power Supply

The System Power Supply has been pre-installed into the back box assembly. The System Power Supply 

converts the AC voltage supply to the alarm into two voltages: 5 VDC (regulated) required by the 

microprocessor hardware and 15 VDC (unregulated) required by the buzzer and the LED’s. This unit also 

contains the main ON/OFF power switch, the transformer, the heat sink, the main fuse and fuse cover, the 

rectifying circuitry, the terminal blocks and the low voltage DC power cable for connecting this unit to the 

annunciator module. The System Power Supply can be easily removed and reinstalled by unscrewing it from 

the back box.

Annunciator Module

The Annunciator Module contains the buzzer, a “Power On” LED as well as the “TEST” 

and “ALARM MUTE” buttons. The function of the “TEST” button is to verify that the 

buzzer and all the LED’s are in working condition. An alarm will be heard when this 

button is pushed and all the LED’s will light up. When the button is released, the 

alarm will silence. The “ALARM MUTE” button is used to silence an alarm that has 

occurred. This module also contains a fail-safe relay that de-energizes when the buzzer 

is activated. This relay can be used with the Amico remote buzzer, for applications 

requiring a remote audible alarm (see Appendix B), for connection to another Amico 

alarm or a building management system.

Alarm Valve Display Module

The module provides a digital display of the actual pressure/vacuum of a gas being 

monitored. In addition, a gas trend indicator bar with High and Low alarms are 

displayed. The trend bar has two coloured LED’s: GREEN for Normal and RED for High 

and Low conditions.

Each display module contains a gas specific, colour coded label (USA or ISO colours are 

available). The Display Module is field adjustable for pressure/vacuum settings, repeat 

alarm and unit of measure. Dry contacts for high and low alarms are available for 

remote monitoring of each module.

Sensor Module

The Sensor Module contains the transducer which converts the gas/vacuum pressure 

source into a digital signal that is displayed on the display module. The sensor module 

shall be housed in an anodized aluminum and nickel-plated brass enclosure to act as 

an interference barrier. It is also temperature compensated. 

Each sensor is clearly labeled and colour coded for the gas or vacuum being 

monitored. The sensor module contains a gas specific DISS fitting to ensure correct 

connection of the proper sensor to the respective gas. Each sensor has been factory 

calibrated by a computer for the specific gas shown on the sensor housing. If it is not 

connected to the appropriate gas display module, an error message (EO2) will be 

displayed.
