ORDERING INFORMATION
The 46017 Summary Audible Alarm Module (SAAM) provides a highly recognizable two-level audio alarm indicator and
alarm status display to alert service personnel of an alarm. The
module is part of Dantel’s 460 Alarm and Control System.
The 46017 SAAM indicates alarms audibly and visually, re-
motely or locally. It accepts 16 external alarms, summed in two
groups of eight. Each group of eight alarms reports with a
different tone rate, allowing priority alarms to be grouped
together and audibly recognized.
The 46017 SAAM also provides relays to control external audio
and visual alarm indicating devices.
A timer can be set to acknowledge all alarms automatically.
There are two options of the module:
46017-01 - The first four inputs of each group are TTL as well as
optically coupled (OC) inputs. The second four inputs of each
alarm group are OC only.
46017-11 - The same as the 46017-01 except that inputs 5
through 8 of Alarm Group 1 and inputs 13 through 16 of Alarm
Group 2 are TTL inputs instead of OC inputs.
The 46017 SAAM is a plug-in printed circuit module that fits
into any Dantel 400-type or similar equipment housing. It
operates on -21 to -56 VDC input power.
The front panel includes:
♦Two status-indicating LEDs for each alarm input
♦A Sonalert audible alarm with Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) switch
and LED
♦Alarm acknowledge buttons for each alarm group
♦Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) switches
♦LEDs for external alarm indicating devices for each alarm
group
♦An external Alarm Acknowledge button

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Afunctional schematic for the 46017 Summary Audible Alarm Module is shown in Fig. 1. Here is a brief description
of each of the functional parts of the circuit:
Input Latching Circuits
There are 16 alarm input circuits. Each one has an input latch-
ing circuit that remains inactive with a high state present until
an alarm is indicated (when an input goes to ground). When an
alarm occurs, even momentarily, the input latch circuit holds
(latches) its output to the alarm summing logic.
When an alarm comes in, two front panel LEDs light. The LED
labeled EXIST follows the input signal, but the NEW LED is
held by the latch circuit until someone acknowledges the alarm.
When alarms are acknowledged, the NEW LEDs go out. There
are four ways to acknowledge alarms:
♦Push the front panel acknowledge (ACK) buttons in factory-
wired applications. Pins 27 and 41 for Alarm Group 1, and
pins 15 and 28 for Alarm Group 2 are normally wired to-
gether at the factory to enable the buttons to operate.
♦Connect pin 41 for Alarm Group 1 and pin 15 for Alarm
Group 2 to a remote ground source.
♦Connect pin 29 of the EXT ACK to ground. Connect pin 31 to
pins 41 and 15 of 46017 modules. Pressing the EXT ACK
button will acknowledge alarms on the 46017 SAAM and all
modules to which the switch is wired.
♦Set the DIP switches to acknowledge alarms automatically
after a certain time-out period (refer to Table A).
Alarm OR’d Logic
There are two groups of eight inputs combined by the alarm
logic circuit (called alarm OR’d logic). One or more inputs results
in an output to the relay select and driver circuits.
If an alarm signal is present at the alarm OR’d logic and another
alarm signal from the same group comes in, its front panel
LED lights to indicate the additional alarm. The audio alarm
tone rate does not change. However, if the first alarm is from
Group 1 and the second is from Group 2, the Group 2 alarm
takes precedence over the Group 1 alarm. In that case, the audio
alarm rate changes and the device generates a different tone.
Relay Select and Driver Circuit
The alarm signal from each group’s OR’d logic goes to the relay
select and driver circuit to activate relays. Each relay coil
operates two sets of form-C contacts. Refer to Table A.
The NEW relays deactivate when you acknowledge an alarm.
The EXIST relays follow the alarm input. If alarms still exist
when they are acknowledged, the NEW relays deactivate but the
EXIST relays do not.

Precedence and Timing Circuit
The precedence and timing circuit receives alarm signals from
the OR’d logic and sets the alarm group precedence (Alarm
Group 2 always has precedence). This provides two advantages:
♦It prevents more than one alarm at a time from turning on
the audible alarm
♦It provides a different output signal for each alarm group:
Group 1 - two seconds on, one second off
Group 2 (with precedence) - one second on, one
second off
Alarms can be acknowledged automatically after a time-out of 1,
4, 8 or 16 minutes. The time-out disables the audible alarm,
turns off any NEW alarm LEDs, and releases relays K1 and K3.
After the time-out period, any new alarms will reactivate the
relays and audible alarm, and restart the timer. When the time-
out function is not used, the relays and audible alarm remain
active until you acknowledge the alarms.
Audio Driver and ACO
When a NEW alarm comes in, the output from the precedence
and timing circuit turns on the audio driver. The audio driver
powers the audible alarm, and the sound alerts service person-
nel of the alarm condition.
On the front panel an ACO (Alarm Cut-Off) switch shuts off the
audible portion of the alarm reporting. A front panel LED
remains on as long as the ACO switch is on. This LED serves to
remind service personnel that the audio has been shut off and
they will not hear subsequent alarms.
Power Supply
The power supply operates on -21 to -56 VDC input power. It
supplies regulated +5 VDC as well as +12 and -12 VDC power to
the 46017 module’s circuits.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
This section describes four example applications: Multiple Level, Single Level, Single or Multiple Level, and External
Device.
Multiple-Level Application
Fig. 2 shows a multiple-level alarm reporting application using
46009 and 46010 Multiple Alarm Transmitters (MATs). The
46017 SAAM optically coupled inputs connect to the MAT alarm
bus outputs. This application can use up to 8 MATs.
The 46017 SAAM reports alarms on only two levels. Group 2
always precedes Group 1. Connect a second 46017 SAAM for
additional alarm level inputs.
Each of the four groups provides a different audio and/or visual
signal. Two groups use the 46017 SAMM on-board Sonalert. The
other two control an external audio or visual device with their
alarm-enabled relays (K1-B, pins 56 and 54 or 55 in Group 1,
and K3-B, pins 2 and 1 or 4 in Group 2). Setting the ACO switch
to ON disables the Sonalert.

Single-Level Application
Fig. 3 shows a single-level alarm reporting application using
46009 and 46010 MATs. The 46017 SAAM connects to each of 16
MAT priority alarm level A outputs. The output indicates an
alarm condition to service personnel. This application can use up
to 16 MATs.
Level A outputs with the greatest priority should connect to
Group 2, because that group always precedes Group 1.

Single or Multiple Level Application
Fig. 4 shows a single or multi-level alarm reporting application
using 46020 Multiple Alarm Processors (MAPs). The 46017
SAAM TTL compatible alarm inputs connect to one or more
MAP external alarm outputs (pins 29-32).
Use of 46017 SAAM TTL inputs reduces the available number of
alarms from 16 to 8 (4 for each alarm group). Use alarm group
TTL inputs for in-shelf applications only.

External Device Connection Application
Fig. 5 shows an external device connection application. External
devices chain EXIST relay(s) and NEW relay(s) together after
alarms or acknowledgment.
If the EXIST relay drops, its contacts open and the closed NEW
relay contact does not signal the external device. If the NEW
relay drops, the EXIST relay does not signal the external device.
The built-in audible device continues operating until it times out
or it acknowledges the alarms.

INSTALLATION
Installation consists of setting the switches, wiring for alarm acknowledgments, wiring relays, and installing the module in
the equipment shelf.
1. Set the switches.
To set the time-out switch options, refer to Table B and Fig. 6.
The time-out automatically disables the audible alarm, turns off
any NEW alarm LEDs, and releases the NEW relays. After the
time-out period, any new alarms will reactivate the relays and
audible alarm, and restart the timer. When the time-out func-
tion is not used, the relays and audible alarm remain active
until you acknowledge the alarms.

2. Wire for alarm acknowledgment, if necessary.
When the 46017 SAAM reports alarms, you can acknowledge
them automatically with the time-out feature, or you can push
the front panel ACK buttons. Or, you can wire the module as
indicated below:
♦Connect pin 41 for Alarm Group 1 and pin 15 for Alarm
Group 2 to a remote ground source.
♦Connect pin 29 of the EXT ACK to ground. Connect pin 31 to
pins 41 and 15 of 46017 modules. Pressing the EXT ACK
button will acknowledge alarms on all the modules to which
the switch is wired.
3. Wire relays, if needed.
You can wire the relays to external audio and visual alarm
indicating devices.
One method is shown in Fig. 7 where external devices follow the
alarms or acknowledgment by chaining the EXIST and NEW
relays together.
If an EXIST relay drops, its contacts open and the NEW relay
contacts that are closed can not go to the external device. On the
other hand, if the NEW relay drops, the EXIST relay can not
signal the external device. This is true only for an external
device. The built-in audible alarm continues to operate until it
times out or until the alarms are acknowledged.

CHECKOUT
To check the operation of the 46017 SAAM, monitor the unit in a
system:
1. Apply an alarm at each input being used and observe the front
panel for proper audible alarm, LED, and relay operation.
2. Acknowledge the alarms and verify that the audible alarms stops,
the NEW LEDs turn off, and the NEW relays release.
3. Clear the alarms and verify that the EXIST LEDs turn off and the
EXIST relays release.
INSTALLATION
OPERATION
For the most part, operation of the 46017 Summary Audible Alarm Module consists of observing the lamps and audible
alarm for alarm indication or operating one of the front panel
Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) switches.
♦The front panel of the 46017 Summary Audible Alarm Mod-
ule has two LEDs for each alarm input:
• The upper row of LEDs in each alarm group (EXIST) indi-
cates which of the 16 alarm inputs has an alarm present.
• The lower row of LEDs in each alarm group (NEW) indi-
cates an alarm that has not been acknowledged.
♦You can acknowledge alarms in one of several ways:
• Press the acknowledge (ACK) buttons on the front panel.
• Acknowledge the alarms remotely if the acknowledge in-
puts are connected to a remote ground source.
• Press the EXT ACK button on the front panel if the button
is wired for operation.
• Wait for the alarms to acknowledge automatically if you
are using the time-out function.
♦To disable the audible alarm, place the bottom ACO switch
ON. The bottom ACO LED will light.
♦To disable external alarm indicating devices connected to the
module relays, place the ACO switches for groups 1 or 2 ON.
The corresponding ACO LED will light.
♦To adjust the volume of the audible alarm, rotate the damper
over the audible alarm at the bottom of the front panel.
