1.3 Description
1.3.1 The 12 volt DC remote alarm is a high-intensity,
red-lens strobe light and high decibel horn. Use the
remote alarm in high noise areas or where the CO
monitor cannot be placed in a conspicuous location. The
alarm does not require an external power source when
correctly connected to a CMS monitor. The alarm
sounds and the strobe light flashes whenever the CO
monitor goes into an alarm condition. Using additional
cable, the alarm may be placed up to 150 ft. from the
monitor.
1.4 Components
1.4.1 The primary components of the remote alarm are
shown in Figure 1. The alarm package includes the
alarm case with strobe light and horn, stand, 50-ft. cable
with connectors, and a wire assembly with pin socket
and cable connector.

3.0 Operation
3.1 The remote alarm does not require any special
mounting, and it will operate in any position. The stand
may be used free standing or used to hang the alarm in
a conspicuous place so any alarm condition will be
noticed.
WARNING
The remote alarm must be in a conspicuous
place to ensure that any alarm condition is
observed. DO NOT mount inside a blast room.
The alarm case and cable are not designed to
withstand the continual impact of abrasive that
takes place inside a blast room. For additional
external alarms, refer to the monitor manual for
instructions for installing external alarm
devices. With auxiliary terminals and a relay,
the monitor may be interlocked with other
devices, such as the compressor shut-down, to
additionally safeguard against an unobserved
alarm.
3.2 Place the alarm in a conspicuous location within
cable reach of the monitor. With additional cable, the
alarm may be place up to 150 ft. from the monitor.
3.3 Connect cable to the monitor and the alarm:
Before connecting the cable connectors, make sure they
are correctly aligned by lining-up the locators of each
connector, as shown in Figure 4. Route the cable to
ensure that there will be no contact with ground traffic or
high reach equipment.
Figure 4
3.4 Refer to the monitor operations manual and test
the alarm using the same process for testing the
monitor’s internal alarms.
