Safety and installation
Before commissioning the LSC Annunciator System please read the following notes for your
safety and for the operating safety of the equipment.
Installation:
Installation work must be carried out by certified technical staff only. Follow the instructions in
this handbook, and heed the notes on dangers. Observe the locally applicable regulations for
the safe and riskless handling of electrical installations.
Fitting:
The BM Basic Module the RM Relay Module and the CIM Connector of the LSC System are
fitted on top-hat mounting rails (DIN rails). The PM Panel Module is fitted into a control panel.
On the rear side of the PM a hat rail is provided for the mounting of a Basic Module.
Supplementary power:
Power supplies for the signal voltage (inputs and outputs and for the voltage supply of the
LSC system must comply with the stipulations for safety extra-low voltage (SELV) given in
IEC 346-4-41. We recommend our power supplies of the EcoPower Series as they fulfil these
stipulations completely.
Wiring:
The wiring for the voltage supply and for the various inputs and outputs is connected to the
terminals of the module. The connection of the modules to each other is effected with factory-
made cables.
At its begin and end the BUS must be terminated with a resistor. This termination resistor is
on the Basic- and Relay Module and it is connecting to the BUS with switch 1 on the
modules.
The power circuit for the voltage supply (system supply) must be fused by an external excess
current fuse. For its calculation the current consumption of an LSC System is determined by
the total of the current consumption of the modules being used (see "Technical Data" page).
The LSC System does not have its own master switch for switching off the voltage supply,
therefore an external switch must be provided for this purpose.
This must be located in the vicinity of the LSC System. The switch must be easily accessible
to the operator and must be marked as a cut-off device for the LSC System.
The power circuit for the inputs and outputs must be protected by external excess current
protection devices (for current consumption of the inputs and the current carrying capacity of
the outputs see "Technical Data").
The minimum diameter of cables used for the CAN-Bus must be 0.5mm

Installation
Before commissioning the unit you are recommended to check the installation with the aid of
the check list for installation/fault finding.
Before switching on the voltage supply and the supply for the inputs and outputs you must
ensure that the voltage values are within the permissible limits (see Technical Data). Voltage
which is too high or false polarity of the voltage can lead to damage of the LSC System.
After switching on the voltage supply of the LSC System (system voltage) the green LED
"POWER ON" on the Basic Module must light up. If this is not the case, then the system
voltage is outside the permissible range. If you use more than one device (e.g. two BM and
one RM) you need to set the module addresses as explained below.
Then every individual function of the LSC System must be checked. In doing so, not only
must the configuration of the system be verified but also the external wiring and the
interaction with connected equipment. Before testing take precautions that a (possibly
inadvertent) activation of the outputs in association with equipment connected to them cannot
lead to dangerous operating states. When testing, all inputs must be systematically activated
in turn and the reaction of the system checked for its correctness.
Setting the module ID-address:
Please refer to the following points to set the module ID-addresses:
oTurn off the supply voltage of the module.
oPress and hold the lamp-test button, meanwhile turn on the supply voltage.
oThe actual module address is now showed as follows:
-All LED are activated for stand alone (factory setting)
-One of the LED 1 to 8 blinks (ID already set).
oRelease the lamp test button and press it again to set the ID address. With every
pressing the address counts one up, shown by the appropriate blinking LED.
oPress and hold the lamp test button for 3 seconds to save your settings. After
successfully saving your changes, the module acknowledges with a beep tone and
switches back to operation mode.

Warning:
If you are using a single Basic Module BM the address has to be set to the stand alone mode
(all LED are blinking) which is factory setting. Otherwise, a bus error will occur.
Important:
If you are in the module ID address setting process and do not press any button for six
seconds, the module will switch back to operation mode without saving your changes. Please
note that changing the module ID address may cause a bus error on an other module.

Factory settings:
Please refer to the following points to set a Basic Module BM back to factory settings:
oTurn of the supply voltage.
oPress and hold the two buttons lamp test and horn acknowledgement, then turn on the
supply voltage.
oThe module acknowledges the restoration of the factory settings by beeping three
times.

Important:
The procedure has to be repeated for every module you wish to set back. The restroing of
the factory settings will also change the module address to stand alone, this may cause a bus
error.

Please refer to the following points to set a Relay Module RM back to factory settings:
oTurn of the supply voltage.
oPress and hold the lamp test button, then turn on the supply voltage
oLet go the lamp test button and press it again for three seconds to acknowledge.
Button lamp test
CAN-Bus:
In case of a bus error, the two LED „Bus“ and „Horn“ are showing which type of error it is:
LED
Bus LED Horn Type of the error
Bus OFF: The module has switched off the bus. Possible reasons are a
short circuit or a module operating with the same module ID-address.
Connection error: The module has no connection to the bus.
Bus conflict: Several modules are using the same module ID-address.
Failure neighbour module: The next module has lost it’s connection or
does not work properly .
Steady light flashing
Important:
After having successfully resolved a CAN-bus error, it is recommended to completely restart
the LSC system by turning off an on again the supply voltage.

Basic Module BM
Application & Characteristics
The BM Basic Module is the foundation stone of the modularly expandable LSC product
family. The BM Basic Module is supplied in the installation housing for top-hat rail mounting.
o8 operation indicator
oIntegrated buzzer
o8 alarm inputs NO/NC with individual time delay
o3 system inputs and outputs
oCAN Bus interface for networking (BUS coupling) and RS 232 interface
oIntegrated buttons: Lamp test, Horn acknowledgement and Lamp acknowledgement
oTwo LED showing the status of the supply voltage and the bus function
oThree LED showing the status of the horn-, group- and common relay
Function:
Each alarm occurring is acoustically and visually indicated on the unit. When an alarm is
signalled the horn annunciator relay is activated and the LED for this relay is illuminated.
After expiry of the set delay time the relays for collective alarm and group alarm are triggered
and signalled with a LED in accordance with the operating mode set. After the expiry of the
preset delay time the fault is indicated at the alarm input by the blinking of the related LED.
Horn acknowledgement The integrated buzzer and the relay contact for the
horn are switched off
Lamp acknowledgement LED goes out or changes to continuous light if the
input is still activated.
Lamp test All LED are activated for five seconds.
