The ALARM’BOX allows clustering in a single point for effective protection and easy maintenance for industrial and
administrative sites.
- Important indicator displays : including in service/out of service, run/stop, and levels.
- Technical alarms : including trip outs, temperature alarms, levels and overspeeds, …)
The display can be regrouped by elements under control such as RUN/STOP/FAULT.
The ALARM’BOX was developped according to the strictest industrial standards.
With 8 to 96 inputs modulation on 1 to 3 stages this central unit is an IP65 weatherproof wall cabinet.
The ALARM’BOX is delivered with battery included and with a 230 Vac power supply.
- Each input can be selected in common indicator display or in alarm mode, with inputs NO or NC, with fittering of time delay.
- The inputs selected under alarm will be flashing and stored. They will activate the audible alarm (included) until the
operator acknowledgment.
- Acknowledgment and test button in front face are accessible throughout see through front door.
- Remote relay included.
It is also possible to group together the number of inputs needed in order to signal the whole condition of an under control
element (Start/Stop/PUMP Alarm).
It is possible to create special cabinets. This instructions manuel also shows a set with 2 feedback contacts per input.
Selection activation/desactivation of

Klaxon relay : positive security relay for external audible alarm (ALARM’BOX has an internal buzzer).
Synthesis relay : positive security relay is falling in case of signalling or present alarms with a «synthesis» selection. This
relay will only go back to normal when all the inputs involved are deactivated.
Synchronization flashing light : flashes in continous indicating the normal synchronization of the leds.
Battery Alarm : positive security relay dropping in case of battery anomaly.
«Power supply» led indicator : switched on green = power supply indicated, switched off = no power supply.
«Battery» led indicator : usually switched off . Switched on red, an unusually battery discharge is indicated with no power
supply or a malfunction of the charger.
«Blocking» led indicator : no blocking. Switched on orange = blocking activated.
«Test LEDs» button : allows to test the leds.
«Reset» button : (or «acknowledgment») allows to stop the klaxon and to pass
on the flashing lights in fixed statement or to delete the disappeared alarms.
An auxiliary card allows to connect 1 to 32 additional inputs.
The «audible alarm» is common and unique, located in stage
1.
The main alarm relay or synthesis relay is selectable by stage
(1 relay for each stage).
The stage 2 and 3 contain relaying cards.
Each card is located under the input cards which represents it.

Programming input-by-input can be done through switches
located on every input card.
- The «x» input is selected in basic led indicator mode with
S2x :
Depending on the direction of the input contact «x»
selected with S1x (Normally Open / Normally Closed) and
after delaying time has expired Tx, the Led «Lx» will be
lit up in fixe ( It is also possible to switch on a LED by the
opening of the contact if the selection is NO).
- The corresponding output «X» is activated (open collector
output, gives 0V).
- The «synthesis» relay Rs can be activated if the selection
S4x is programmed.
- The «audible alarm» relay RKL is not activated.
- As soon as the contact comes back to normal position,
the LED lights off.
- If the input blockage is activate before the LED lights-
up and the input is selected in blocking authorization
with S3, the display will be cancelled so will the fault
consideration.
Output «main alarm» or synthesis (RS) :
Output 1RT with galvanic isolation. The relay is with
«positive security». That is to say «normally energized».
The relay will be deactivated by each input selected with
S4x, whether the inputs are selected in basic indicator or
in alarm.
The relay will only be reactivated when all the selected
inputs would have disappeared.
- The input «X» is selected in alarm with S2x :
Depending on the direction of the input contact «x» selected with S1x (Normally Open / Normally Closed) and after
delaying time has expired Tx, the consideration of the alarm will be memorized.
The LED will be blinking.
- The corresponding output «x» is activated (open collector output, gives 0V).
- The «synthesis» relay Rs can be activated if the selection S4x is programmed.
- The «audible alarm» relay RKL is activated. (so is the buzzer if it is present).
- A push on the «acknowledgment button» on front face (or an activation of the acknowledgment by the rear terminal) stop
the buzzer and turns the LED in fixe if the alarm is still present or turns the LED off when back to normal. The «open
collector» output and the main alarm relay (if that one is selected by S4) will remain activated until the LED switches off.

The blockage is used when inputs have to be cancelled during a
period. This period is established by the closure of an external contact
(day/night, start of cycles with inactive securities, technical services).
The blockage allows cancelling the consideration of some inputs
selected on each input card by the S3 switch. This function is valid
for inputs in basic indicator display or in alarm. This cancellation will
start when the external contact on the blockage input will be closed.
(Connected to the «+ COM»). When a LED is lit up (fixe or blinking)
and its blockage input is to be activated, the blockage will operate
after the LED switch off. If any blockage input is activated, the front
face LED «blockage» will light in orange.
Command blockage different possibilities :
- On each input card, an S3 switch allows the inputs of this card that are going to be blocked.
- The block terminal composed of 8 thresholds on the main card allows activating the 1 to 4 cards by 4 external contacts. A
fifth terminal block located on the upper block allows activating the general blockage of the ALARM’BOX stage by an external
contact.
- The front face «Blockage» light will light up orange when activating (contact closure) of the first of the four «blockage
inputs» or with the «main contact blockage».
- Five internal switches on the main card allow forcing the blockage without using external contact. This function can be used
for servicing. As with the «blockage inputs», it is also possible to block the whole stage of the ALARM’BOX (main blockage)
or each card one by one.
To block a input it is necessary :
- That the concerned input be selected in blockage with the S3 switch located on this input card.
- That the concerned card be selected in blockage with the S6 switch located on the main card or that the external contact on
the block terminal be closed.
Please note :
To block all the input cards at once, two solutions :
(The inputs must be blocked on the input card by the S3 switch)
- The S6 switch must have the first four guides (1, 2, 3, 4 ) in up position, or else the block terminal must have all its
thresholds wired on closed contacts. (Refer to diagram page 11).
- The S6 switch must have the fifth position ( general) up or the contact wired on external main blockage thresholds must be
closed.

Labels are ordinary paper sheets that slid into
transparent pockets included in the thickness of the
front. A blank label is supplied with each unit. Labels can
be handmade or produced on a colour printer (laser or
ink-jet).
PC software is provided for free to create labels,
including images, to save and to duplicate the
productions.
(For high humidity countries printing on plastic sheets is
recommended).
Labels setting :
- Print and then cut the labels.
- Unscrew the plastic screws “cross-headed” on the
ALARM’BOX front face, disconnect the ribbon from the
label holder keypad making sure to note the direction
to reassemble.
- Slide the labels inside the slot on the thickness of the
label holder at the back of the front face, using it as a
cover
- Reassembling :
Put the ribbon back into the connector, place the front
face back in its location, and screw the 6 plastic screws.
(depending on the number of stages of your
ALARM’BOX).
Only after putting the unit on a table,
- Unscrew the plastic screws “cross-headed” (1), as well as
the those hidden by the doors (2).
- When opening the front face (3), disconnect the ribbon (4)
from the bottom circuit of the cabinet.
- Take the front part off, being careful of the ribbon (4)
connected to the front face (3).
Careful : before any manipulation, make sure the Alarm’Box is switched off.
