UNDERSTANDING ALARM OPERATION
Figure 1
Figure 1 shows the location of the various inputs, outputs and indicators for the
Advantium 16. The Advantium 16 has a universal power supply.
Input signals coming from external devices are connected to the Advantium 16 via
individual wires through a ¾” conduit connection to a terminal strip.
The Advantium 16 provides output relay signals to indicate the state of 18 user defined
alarms . These signals are brought out through relay contacts terminal connector. The
relay contacts terminal section consists of 9 terminal blocks. Each terminal block
contains two relay output signals and a shared common voltage input. The Advantium 16
is factory set so that these output signals are brought out through Normally Closed (N.C.)
contacts.
Output relay signals are routed from the Advantium 16’s terminal strip via individual
wires through a ¾” conduit connection on the left side.
These contacts can be changed, if needed, to Normally Open. Refer to the section in this
manual “Changing Output Relay Contacts”.
Figure 1 shows a view of the front panel. It is laid out with sixteen status lights
representing 16 signal inputs. The indicator lights are bi-colored LEDs. This means that
the same light can be turned ON as either a green indicator or a red indicator. A green
LED indicates a normal condition while a red LED indicates an alarm condition. A

4
blinking red LED indicates and alarm condition for all members of the group for which
the input is configured.
On the left side of the front panel is an audible speaker. This speaker is used to provide
an audible indication of an alarm condition. In the upper right portion of the front panel
is a button labeled “alarm silence”. This button allows the operator to silence the audible
alarm even though an alarm condition still exists. This button is also used to permanently
enable or disable the audible alarm. The button must be pressed for 5 seconds to
permanently enable or disable the audible alarm.
The Advantium16 supplies a +12vdc signal to the Input terminal connectors. This serves
as a common supply voltage for the external inputs. The Advantium16 uses Normally
Closed (N.C.) contact signals by default from the external inputs to determine the state of
the alarms. The normal-conditions of these alarms are customizable via the web
interface.
If there are no alarm conditions, the Advantium16 will turn ON the green indicator next
to the status being monitored. When an alarm condition occurs, the corresponding contact
inside the Advantium 16 opens. This “open” is sensed by the Advantium16, changing the
color of the indicator next to its status from Green to Red. If enabled, at the same time
the audible buzzer in the Advantium 16 will begin to sound. The set of contacts
representing this alarm condition will alarm in the relay output section of the Advantium
16. The corresponding status LED’s will turn RED. If the corresponding Input is a
member of a group (see Input Groups Page for details) and all the other members of the
group are also in alarm, the LED will blink RED.

MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
After mounting the Advantium16 to the wall, wire any monitored devices through the
conduit connection and to the input terminal blocks (see Figures 3-9). If using the output
of the Advantium16 to connect to another alarm or system, attach wires to the output
terminal blocks (see Figure 10).
Turn Advantium16 ON by plugging the unit directly into a wall outlet and turning the
power switch in the inside of the front cover to the ON position. The system may be
tested once it is connected to an external device by tripping the external alarm seeing the
corresponding input LED turn red.
Figure 3
CONNECTING EXTERNAL INPUT DEVICES TO THE
ADVANTIUM 16
The Advantium 16 is designed to interface with up to 16 external pressure switches or
any dry contact inputs. The external device wires (+12Vdc out, signal in) are brought in
through a conduit connector on the left side of the box and connected to terminal blocks
on the left hand side of the circuit board. Figures 3-9 outline how to connect various
CONOCA products to the Advantium 16.
The recommended cable for this assembly is 14-26 AWG wire (Alpha # 1176C or
equivalent). The length of each cable should be limited to 1500 feet.
Cut the cable to length. Remove the outer jacket of the cable to expose approximately 3/4
inch of the internal conductors on both sides of the cable. Strip away 1/4-inch of the
insulation on each of the conductors
Note: Older revisions of the 522, 523, 536, 537, 636, 637, and 638 series AutoSwitch
units are not compatible with the Advantium 16 without a special cable assembly.
Please contact CONCOA for details.
