2 Introduction
The LED annunciator for the A004-9101 FACU provides remote annunciation of the fire alarm control unit (FACU) status. The LEDs indicate
the visual status. The piezo sounder provides audible annunciation. You can enable or lock access to the annunciator switch functions
using the keyswitch. You can install a maximum number of two annunciators on the A004-9101 FACU.
2.1 Compatibility
The A004 FACUs need to be at revision 1.05 or higher to support the A606-9111 LED annunciator. The LED Annunciator must be at
revision 1.01 when used with A004 FACU.

5 Installing the LED annunciator
To install the LED annunciator with the A004 FACU, complete the following steps:
1. Terminate the annunciators RS485 COMM and power line as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: Terminating the COMM and power lines
Note: Use 100 Ohm termination resistor between A Rtn. and B Rtn. of TB3 at last annunciator. One termination resistor is connected
to the last annunciator and other is at the fire panel N4 Comm. terminal block. Termination Resistor part number: 0378-004
2. The A004 panel supports a maximum of 2 annunciators.

7 Wiring guidelines
This section contains the wiring guidelines for the LED annunciator.
7.1 General wiring guidelines
• All wiring must be copper conductors only.
• No wire lengths in excess of the maximum lengths.
• Underground wiring must be free of water.
• Wires must not be run through elevator shafts.
• You can splice provided you do the following:
- All such connections are soldered with rosin-core solder, crimped in metal sleeves, or encapsulated with an epoxy resin.
- When solder or crimped metal sleeves are used, the junction is insulated with a high-grade electrical tape as sound as the original
insulating jacket.
• Only system wiring can share the same conduit.
7.2 Specific wiring guidelines
• 24 V power wiring must be power limited and communication wiring is supervised and power limited.
• The Remote Annunciator cannot be used with wiring that goes outside the building, above or below ground, unless overvoltage
suppression is provided at both ends for both the communication and the power wiring.
Communication and power wiring must meet requirement:
- Model Autocall A2081-9044 overvoltage protectors (200 mA or less).
• For maximum wire lengths with or without circuit protectors, see Table 7.
• If the interconnected control unit is not used to provide operating power to the annunciator, a regulated power-limited, UL-listed 24
VDC power supply for fire protective signaling must be used.
• 14 AWG to 22 AWG twisted pair wiring is required for RS485 communications.
• In accordance with NFPA 70, Article 250, a dedicated Earth ground connection must be provided to the back box.
7.3 Wire lengths
• When using multiple annunciators and runs, the total of all runs must not exceed 4000 ft. (1219.2 m).
• Four A2081-9044 Over Voltage Protectors is the maximum number that can be on any single communication loop.
7.3.1 Calculation of annunciator wiring distance
In general, the wire length is limited by resistance but for small AWG wires the capacitive component dominates and becomes the limiting
factor. The resistance for each 1000 ft. wire with respect to its AWG, is shown in the following table.
Table 6: Resistance for each 1000 ft wire with respect to AWG
AWG Resistance (ohm) for each 1000 ft., Rref
22 16.14
20 10.15
18 6.385
16 4.016
14 2.25
The LED ANN maximum distance supported is 4000 ft. (1200 m) regardless of gauge used. This distance decreases as the connected
annunciator number increases (increase in worst case current consumption). You can use the formula below to find the maximum
supported distance for the used case:
Maximum wire length = (3V / (Rref x MIC)) x 1000 ft.
Where MIC (Maximum Instantaneous Current) can be found out by:
MIC = (0.075 x Number of Annunciators) Amps
For instance, Number of Annunciator selected = 6; AWG = 18 AWG
MIC (Maximum Instantaneous current) = 0.075 x 6 = 0.600 A
Maximum wire length = (3V / (6.385 x 0.600)) x 1000 Ft = 1044 ft.
The following table summarizes maximum distance supported for respective AWG with number of annunciators connected:

8 Checkout procedure
When the installation is complete, verify that the remote annunciator is working correctly:
1. Execute a lamp test to verify that the LEDs are working, see Executing the lamp test.
2. Verify that the annunciator communicates correctly with the FACU by observing the remote annunciator. The annunciator displays
error messages and emits an audible signal if it is not wired correctly and is not communicating with the FACU. The FACU also displays
a card missing trouble.
Note: For Programming changes, refer to the relevant FACU programming manual.
8.1 Executing the lamp test
To execute the lamp test, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the key into the keyswitch.
2. Turn the key anticlockwise until it is in the unlock position, see Figure 11.
3. Press and hold the RESET key for at least 10 seconds to execute the lamp test.
