2.8.3 GFANN-80 Remote Fire Annunciator
The GFANN-80 Annunciator is a compact, 80 character, backlit LCD remote fire annunciator
which mimics the FACP display. It also provides system status indicators for AC Power, Alarm,
Trouble, Supervisory and Alarm Silenced conditions. Communication between the GFANN-80
and FACP is accomplished over a two wire serial interface employing the ANN-BUS
communication format. The devices are powered, via two additional wires, from either the host
FACP or remote UL-listed, filtered, power supply.
