Series 90B ANNUNCIATOR INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL
i. 1
SCOPE
This manual describes the installation and configuration of the SERIES 90B annunciator
system. This includes operation of its associated configuration software.
Glossary of Terms
Cell: Refers to a single module housing that can accommodate several
boards. An Annunciator that is 3 rows high by 4 columns wide consists
of 12 Cells.
Module: Refers to an individual electronic board. There are a variety of boards
used in the Annunciator System for inputs, outputs, communications,
etc.
N.O. Normally Open. Contact state is open when normal, closes upon alarm.
N.C. Normally Closed. Contact state is closed when normal, opens upon
alarm.
Energized: Typically refers to the relay coil state when normal. The coil de-
energizes (voltage removed) when in alarm or while activated.
De-Energized: Typically refers to the relay coil state when normal. The coil energizes
(voltage applied) when in alarm or while activated.
Form A Type of relay contact, SPST (single pole, single throw). Open in the
normal state, closes upon alarm or while activated.
Form B Type of relay contact, SPST (single pole, single throw). Closed in the
normal state, opens upon alarm or while activated.
Form C Type of relay contact, SPDT (single pole, double throw). Open and
closed contact with common pole. Both change state when in alarm or
while activated.
FCV: Field Contact Voltage. Field contact or wetting voltage for alarm inputs.
CSM: Common Service Module. The CSM provides common alarm controls
and output relays. Typically located in the bottom right cell.
I/O: Input/Output. This refers to a board that accepts the customer Field
Contact Inputs, provides outputs to the LED Display and can provide
optional repeat relays.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SAFETY
The following safety symbols are used on the SERIES 90B:
Caution, risk of danger. Refer to the Instruction Manual.
Caution, risk of electric shock.
Protective Earth Conductor Terminal
The SERIES 90B is CE certified for operation under the following conditions:
Indoor Use (unless mounted in NEMA-4 enclosure option)
Altitude up to 2000 m
Operating Temperature Range: -20 TO 50 OC (-4 to 122oF)
Relative Humidity: 20-95% RH
Mains supply voltage fluctuations: +/- 10% of nominal
Transient Over voltages: 2500 V (Installation or Measurement Category
II)
Pollution Degree 2
In product configurations with 125VDC or 120VAC Field Contact Voltage
(options: D, DC, D/ISO, Y/ISO), the system must be equipped with the lockable
front door (options NCB, NCT) or NEMA Enclosure (options N4, N4PB)
Annunciator Model Code Definition on page 4.
For FM option (pending) (refer to option codes), the required door may be
supplied by Ametek, a panel shop or the customer. The door must meet the FM
standard for requiring a tool to open or remove the door to allow access to the
front of the Annunciator.
Also, 120/230VAC & 125 VDC Input Power (options A, B, C) must use external
power supplies, unless the front door or NEMA enclosure is used. All other
product configurations can be installed in any enclosure as specified in the
model number table, item 1.
Installation and start-up must be carried out by trained and qualified personnel.

2 Series 90B ANNUNCIATOR INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL
If the unit is not installed and operated as specified, the protection provided by
the unit may be impaired.
Before start-up, it is important to ensure that:
1. The unit can be switched off by a switch, or a circuit breaker, clearly
marked as the disconnecting device for the unit. The minimum
rating of the disconnecting device is:
5 Amps for 120 Vac or 230 Vac power
10 Amps for 24 or 48 Vdc power
2. The disconnecting device is located in close proximity to the unit and
must be marked as the disconnecting device for the unit.
3. The protective earth terminal is properly connected to protective earth.
4. The line has been connected correctly and protection is provided against
electric shock.
5. Proper ventilation is provided by at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) above and
below the unit

Series 90B ANNUNCIATOR INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL
i. 1
CONSTRUCTION
The SERIES 90B is a modular design constructed from a matrix of cells up to 13
high by 13 wide. The cells can be configured for 1, 2, 3 or 4 points per cell. Each
cell provides front access to the electronics and all wiring connections are made
to the rear of the unit. Each cell can accept several modules in various
combinations, consisting of I/O Cards, Common Service Modules, Power
Supplies and Option Modules. The Common Service Module (CSM) is typically
located at the lower right cell of the unit and the other cells are used for I/O.

Module Cell
The Annunciator is a modular construction made from individual cells, allowing
any size high or wide up to 13. All cards are removable from the front of the unit,
after removing the window or pushbutton assembly.

Module Cell Configurations
Note: Slot 5 of the I/O cell is also used for a row to row interconnect board (item
#10 on cell assembly figure), which is installed for every row of the Annunciator.
When installed; no other card or power supply can be inserted in that slot. All
other unused slot 5 positions in that row can be used for power supplies or a
ground detector. (This will be factory configured)
Annunciator Windows
The Annunciator windows come in four sizes as shown below. Legends can be
laser printed on transparency film and inserted into the window frame. Colored
filters are inserted behind the legends. Reference the appendix for additional
details.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND SET-UP
The SERIES 90B Annunciator is already factory configured per the model
number. Most of the configuration of the system is made using software,
however some settings such as relay contact arrangement (Form A or Form B)
needs to be configured by the user. The default configurations are specified
below:

8 Series 90B ANNUNCIATOR INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
I/O Modules
Each Input/Output (I/O) module can accept up to two field contact inputs, with
field contact voltage (FCV) provided either internally by the Annunciator or
externally by the customer. Each input includes optical coupler isolation and can
be selected for Normally Open (N/O) or Normally Closed (N/C) Field Contact
Inputs through the software configuration or module jumpers. The I/O module
provides outputs to the Display Module. Optional relays can be added to the I/O
module for repeating the alarm status. Up to two I/O cards can be inserted into
Card Slots 1 & 3 of a single cell for a maximum of 4 points per cell. The Cell with
the Common Service Module can also support one I/O Module (in slot 3), in
place of the Integral Pushbuttons.
Refer to the following table and to the part number affixed to the module to
determine the type of module. Note that all modules in a systems shipped from
the factory will contain the same type of configuration.

Field Contact Type
The I/O module supports both N/O & N/C inputs through the software
configuration, as detailed in the next section. N/O refers to Normally Open Field
Contacts (open in Normal State, Closed in Alarm State) and N/C refers to
Normally Closed Field Contacts (closed in Normal State, open in Alarm State)
As an alternative, the N/O and N/C settings may be selected via jumper P5 & P6
on the I/O Module.
NOTE: The NO/NC setting must only be configured via one method (hardware
or software). It is recommended to use the software method to avoid any
confusion.
