Multiple Unit First-Out Indication

  If multiple Vigilante II annunciators are connected for multiple unit first-out indication, only one input from all connected devices will display as a first-out alarm.

 

ALARM SEQUENCES

The Vigilante II Alarm Annunciator can be programmed for all common ISA sequences including A, F1A, F2A, F3A, M, F1M. Selectable ISA -1 (Silence Button), -4 (No Lock-In), and horn disable options. Two popular sequences are

Relays

Rating: 2 SPDT (Form C); rated 3 A @ 30 VDC or 3A @ 250 VAC resistive load; 1/14 HP @ 125/250 VAC for inductive loads.
Electrical Noise Suppression: A suppressor (snubber) should be connected to each relay contact switching inductive loads to prevent disruption to the microprocessor's operation. Recommended suppressor value: 0.01 µF/470 Ù, 250 VAC (PDX6901).
Relay Operation: Relay 1: Alarm state until alarm is acknowledged. Relay 2: Alarm state if any channel indicating alarm condition.
Fail-Safe Operation: Programmable independent for each relay.
Note: In fail-safe mode, relay coil is energized in non-alarm condition. In case of power failure, relay will go to alarm state.
