DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT
The Single Station Remote Alarm is capable of operating at either 120VAC or 220VAC depending on which
wall mount power supply it was ordered with. It is capable of providing operating status for the left and right
banks of one CONCOA Autoswitch/Switchover system. The Single Station Remote Alarm provides power to
the Autoswitch/Switchover to operate the status indicator lights and the pressure switches.
An Autoswitch product that is congured with the alarm option is equipped with two pressure switch gauges,
two sets of status indicators, and a power status indicator. A pressure switch gauge and one set of status indicators
are used to monitor and report the state of the pressure for each side of the Autoswitch. A Switchover system
has only the pressure switch gauges.
The front panel of the Remote Alarm consists of four (4) status indicator lights, an “Alarm Silence” button, and
an audible Alarm. See Figure 1. In addition to the front panel, the left side of the Remote Alarm has a power
jack connector where the power supply cable is connected. At the bottom of the Alarm are two (2) connectors
where the Autoswtich/Switchover and Output Devices are connected.
The Single Station Remote Alarm controls one (1) set of relay contacts that are brought to the Output Connector
so they may be used to control an external device.
The status indicator lights are organized into paris representing the Left Bank and Right Bank of an Autoswitch/
Switchover System. When a system is operating normally the status indicator light will be green. If the pressure
should drop below the preset value of the Autoswitch/Switchover, the audible alarm will sound and the light
corresponding to the specic Bank will turn from green to red. When this happens, the output relays will activate.
It is sometimes desirable to silence the audible alarm prior to the alarm condition being xed. Pressing the
“Silence” button will accomplish this. The status indicator lights and the relays will remain activated until the
alarm condition is corrected. If the second bank on the same Autoswitch/Switchover generates an alarm while
the rst Bank is still in an alarm condition the other status indicator light in that system will turn from green to
red and the audible alarm that was previously silenced will sound again.
Correcting the low pressure condition will return the status lights back to green, and deactivate the relay.

INTENDED USE OF PRODUCT
The Single Station Remote Alarm is used to monitor and report the status of inlet pressure on Switchover Systems
and Autoswitch Systems. The Alarm can be congured to operate with either normally open or normally closed
pressure switch contacts. The Alarm contains a set of relay contacts that can be used to control any device that
can be activated using a normally open or normally closed switch. One example of such a device would be the
CONCOA telephone dialer (PN 5295306).
Connections to the Alarm are made through input and output connectors. Customer supplied cables are easily
soldered to the connectors prior to plugging the connectors into the Alarm. For connector pin assignments
please refer to the “CONNECTING THE ALARM” section of this manual.

GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
Basic safety precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of re, electrical shock or injury.
a. Connect the Alarm to the correct line voltage. The product is supplied with either a 120 VAC or
220VAC wall mount power supply.
b. While the Alarm is dust and moisture resistant, it should be installed in a location where it will not
be subjected to rain or high concentrations of dust. Never pour or spray liquids directly onto the

f. Do not attempt to operate the Alarm with the cover off.
CONNECTING THE ALARM
To connect the Single Station Remote Alarm to a Switchover or Autoswitch system, an interface cable must
be made. The Autoswitch/Switchover systems are shipped with a connector that is used for this cable. Two
connectors are provided with the alarm. One is used to connect to the Autoswitch/Switchover and the other is
to connect to the output relay contacts.
To perform the assembly task you will need a soldering station or pencil, rosin core solder, and a wire stripper.
It would also be helpful to have a vise to hold a connector while soldering the wires to it.
OPTION 1: For Switchover Systems that have a 4 pin circular connector.
It will be necessary to obtain a 4 conductor cable. The length of the cable is determined by the application
but should be limited to no longer than 1500 feet. It is recommended that 22 AWG stranded wire be
used. (Alpha #5004C or Belden #8444 are acceptable types.)

-5-
OPTION 1 (continued)
Cut the 4 conductor cable to length. Remove the outer jacket of the cable to expose approximately 1
inches of the internal conductors. Strip away  inch of the insulation on each of the 4 conductors. Tin
the leads of the conductors. Slide the protective cover, cable retainer, and locking nut for the circular
connector over one end of the cable as shown in Figure 2.
