SHIPMENT DETAILS
When you receive an Alert-3 LCD alarm from Amico Corporation, the package will consist of three main sections: the
Alarm Back Box, Sensors and the Frame Assembly.
THE ALARM BACK BOX
The Alarm Back Box contains an auto-switchable power supply with an ON/OFF switch, a built-in fuse and terminal
blocks (115 to 220 VAC - 50 to 60 Hz). The back box also incorporates the pipe stubs for applications that require locally
(in box) mounted sensors.
THE FRAME ASSEMBLY
The Frame Assembly consists of the frame and the LCD board. The hinged frame is designed to swing down from the
back box to facilitate installation and servicing of the alarm. This design will reduce installation time and eliminate the
risk of improper installation since all the modules are connected and tested at the factory.
