UNDERSTANDING ALARM OPERATION
Figure 1
Figure 1 shows the location of the various inputs, outputs and indicators for the alarm.
The Advantium 1 Plus has a universal power supply.
An ON/OFF power switch is provided on the bottom of the alarm. The switch must be in
the ON position for the alarm to work.
Input signal coming from the Protocol Station is connected to the alarm through a 6 pin
circular connector.

4
The Advantium 1 Plus provides an output signal to indicate the alarm condition of the
equipment it is monitoring. This signal is brought out through relay contacts to a 4
position circular connector. The Advantium 1 Plus is factory set so that this output signal
is brought out through Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts. Having these relay set to
Normally Closed allows for configuring multiple Advantium 1 Plus alarms for remote
locations as needed.
The contact polarity 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 a single status light on the
right side representing the Inlet alarm output originating from the equipment being
monitored. The System Status indicator light is a 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.
In the center of the front panel is an audible transducer. This transducer 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 audible alarm can be
disabled if desired. Refer to the Section “Muting Audible Alarm” for instruction on how
this is done.
The Advantium 1 Plus input expects a switch connection across two of the pins on its
input connector. The Advantium 1 Plus supplies a +12vdc signal brought out to one of
the pins on the Input connector that serves as the supply voltage for the switch connection
on the equipment being monitored. For normal operation, this switch contact should be
normally closed (N.C.). The Advantium 1 Plus uses the Normally Closed (N.C.) contact
signal from the equipment being monitored to determine the state of the alarm of that
equipment.
If there is no alarm condition, the Advantium 1 Plus will turn ON the green indicator next
to the status being monitored.
When the switch on the equipment being monitored opens, the Advantium 1 Plus
considers this to be an alarm condition. The response from the Advantium 1 Plus is to
change the color of the indicator next to the status from Green to Red. At the same time,
if enabled, the audible buzzer in the Advantium 1 Plus will begin to beep in a pulsing
fashion. In addition, a set of contacts representing this alarm condition will open in the
output section of the Advantium 1 Plus alarm. Both the change in LED color and the
audible alarm will be delayed by 40 minutes if the “Delay Alarm” feature is enabled.

MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
Figure 3
INSTALLATIONS INSTRUCTIONS
Included with the Advantium 1 Plus Alarm are four (4) screws and wall anchors. If using
the wall anchors drill a 1/8” hole in each of the four locations of the mounting holes of
the alarm. The alarm enclosure or the template provided may be used. Place the wall
anchors into the wall and attach the alarm using the screws provided.
Attach the output cable from the equipment being monitored to the Input of the alarm. If
using the output of the alarm to connect to another alarm or system, attach the output
cable at this time.
Plug the alarm into the appropriate power. Turn alarm ON by turning the Power switch
on the bottom of the alarm to the ON position and test the system. The system may be
tested once it is connected to the equipment being monitored by activating the switch on
the equipment. In the case of a CONCOA protocol system dropping the inlet pressure on
the system to below the trip point set on the pressure gauge will activate the alarm. Refer
to the operator’s manual for the protocol system to learn how to set the trip point.

CONNECTING ALARM TO PROTOCOL STATION
The Advantium 1 Plus Remote Alarm is designed to interface to CONCOA’s Protocol
Stations. The 6-pin remote alarm interface connector is located at the bottom of the
Advantium 1 Plus Alarm enclosure (See Figure 1). There are two ways to connect the
product to a protocol station. Ready made cable assemblies for connecting the
Advantium 1 Plus Alarm to a protocol station are available from the factory. Contact
your local CONCOA Distributor or call 1-800-225-0473 for information. The other
option is to build your own cable assembly to connect the two devices. For convenience,
a mating 6-pin connector is provided to use in building this cable assembly. The protocol
station also comes with a mating connector that is used to attach to the protocol side of
the cable assembly. The recommended cable for this assembly is 22 AWG, 4-conductor
stranded wire (Alpha # 1174C or equivalent). The length of this cable should be limited
to 1500 feet.
Cut the 4-conductor 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.
On the 6-pin connector, slide the protective cover, cable retainer, and locking nut over the
end of the cable as shown in Figure 4.

Using the pin assignments shown in Table 1 and the connector views in Figure 4 and
Figure 5, solder the wires to the appropriate pins. After soldering is complete, slide the
locking nut over the connector body. Snap the cable retainer into the body and then slide
the protective cover over the cable retainer.

CONNECTING ALARM OUTPUTS
The Advantium 1 Plus provides output signals corresponding to the alarm conditions that
it senses. These signals are presented through relay contacts and are brought out to a 4
pin circular connector on the bottom of the alarm. A mating 4 pin connector is provided
to allow for connecting the alarm to other equipment. Pre-made cables are also available.
Contact your local CONCOA Distributor or call 1-800-225-0473 for information. The
relay contacts are configurable. They are factory set as Normally Closed (N.C.) but may
be changed to Normally Open (N.O.) if needed. Refer to the Section “Setting Remote
Alarm Outputs” in the manual for the procedure.
The recommended cable for making an output cable assembly is 22 AWG, 4-conductor
stranded wire (Alpha # 1174C or equivalent). The length of this cable should be limited
to 1500 feet.
Cut the 4-conductor 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.
On the 6-pin connector, slide the protective cover, cable retainer, and locking nut over the
end of the cable as shown in Figure 6.
Using the pin assignments shown in Table 2 and the connector views in Figure 6 and
Figure 7, solder the wires to the appropriate pins. After soldering is complete, slide the
locking nut over the connector body. Snap the cable retainer into the body and then slide
the protective cover over the cable retainer.

CHANGING INPUT SIGNAL POLARITY
The CONCOA Protocol station provides a normally ‘ON’ signal to the alarm input when
the protocol station is operating properly. If an alarm condition occurs, this signal turns
from ‘ON’ to ‘OFF’. It is possible to change how the alarm interprets the input if for
some reason the output of the equipment being monitored is configured as Normally
Open (N.O.). Under normal circumstances there should be no reason to change the input
polarity. NOTE: CHANGING THIS INPUT SIGNAL POLARITY WILL CAUSE THE
ALARM TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY IF IT IS USED WITH A CONCOA
PROTOCOL STATION. FACTORY DEFAULT IS NORMALLY CLOSED (N.C.) .To
change the input so that an input is ‘OFF’ when there is no alarm and ‘ON’ when an
alarm occurs perform the following steps:
1. Turn AC power switch OFF and unplug the alarm from AC power.
2. If the alarm is anchored to a wall remove the four screws holding it to the wall
to gain access to the back of the unit.
3. Separate the front and back of the unit by loosening the 4 screws located on
the rear of the enclosure.
4. Using Figure 9 locate SW2 switch 2 and turn it ON.
5. Replace back cover using the previously removed screws.
6. Re-attach the alarm to the wall using the previously removed screws.
