AUXILIARY MODULES
Serial LCD Annunciator
The RDC-2 Serial LCD Annunciator consists of a backlit 80 character LCD alphanumeric
display, 4 menu buttons, 4 dedicated buttons for operator interaction, 6 LED indicators, and a
security key-switch. The display and controls on the annunciator are the same as those on the
front of the control unit, including a key-switch for security. The backlight operates only when
the data are being accessed, to conserve power. Up to sixteen annunciators may be
addressed by the communications circuit, but some may require additional RSE-300 auxiliary
power supplies, depending on the total accessory power loading.
Serial Relay Unit and Serial Relay Extender
The SRU-2 Serial Relay Unit includes a processor board and a relay board. The processor
board receives commands from the control unit for activating the relays and transmits
supervision and control functions to the control unit. The processor board can control up to 3
relay boards. Each relay board provides 8 relays with Form C contacts. The control unit can
address up to 8 Serial Relay Units and/or Serial Annunciator Units. RSE-300 auxiliary power
supplies will be required to power units beyond the control unit capability.
Serial Annunciator Unit and Serial Annunciator Extender
The SLU-2 Serial Annunciator Unit includes a processor board and an annunciator driver
board. The processor board receives commands from the control unit for activating the outputs
and transmits supervision and control functions to the control unit. The processor board can
control up to 4 annunciator driver boards. Each driver board provides 16 supervised outputs for
LEDs or incandescent lamps. The control unit can address up to 8 Serial Relay Units and/or
Serial Annunciator Units. RSE-300 auxiliary power supplies will be required to power units
beyond the control unit capability.
RSE-300 Remote Signal Expander
The RSE-300
is a notification appliance circuit expander with a built-in auxiliary power output.
This power source is designed to provide power for notification appliances, door holders and 4-
wire smoke detectors. The RSE-300 provides 6 amps of 24 VDC power for multiple uses. All 6
amps can be directed to 4 Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). Each is rated at 3 amps and
is power limited. Either 1 or 2 inputs can control the four outputs. These outputs are compatible
with Faraday notification appliances.
The RSE-300 can be configured so that the inputs can be programmed to provide steady
outputs, ANSI temporal outputs, or Faraday SYNC protocol for synchronized horn/strobe
outputs. It can also be programmed to silence Faraday sync horns while the sync strobes
remain on, using two wires. This requires a silenceable and non-silenceable input.
The RSE-300 also offers a 3 amp auxiliary output for driving other portions of your fire alarm
system.
