Introduction
The Annunciator system ESPAN-04 series incorporate the latest microprocessor
technology to provide a versatile and flexible alarm system suitable for a wide range of
applications such as the alarm for general switchgear cubicle or local control panel of GIS,
local control cabinet of power transformer and all of control panel which need alarm function.
It indicates fault status by using special high brightness LED which can be changed by
software for 3 colors ( Red , Green , Amber ) The ESPAN - 04 series can be selected by the
number of alarm input 8,10,16 and 20 alarm which specified when order.
General Description
Optimizing an industrial installation requires automation of control and is usually
accompanied by an alarm or supervisory system of certain parameters called “fault”.
Definition of fault is expressed by the opening or closing of a contact. This information
represents any modification of a physical or mechanical parameter converted into an electrical
signal by the intermediary of a detector or sensor.
Annunciator is a device or group of devices that call attention to changes in process
conditions that have occurred. An annunciator usually calls attention to abnormal process
conditions, but may be used also to show normal process status. Annunciator usually included
sequence logic circuits, visual displays, audible devices, and manually operated pushbuttons
such as Acknowledge, Reset, Test, etc.
Annunciators can range from a single annunciator cabinet, to complex annunciator
systems with many lamp cabinets and remote logic cabinets.

Operating Principle
When an alarm signal is occurred, it will initiate Bell/Buzzer to operate. In the
meantime, it will produce output direct to the display LED, which makes LED flicking. After
pressing an acknowledged push button, Bell or Buzzer is silenced but LED is steady on. If an
alarm signal is return to normal status then the alarm is cancelled. However, the light of the
indicating display LED will be sustained. Unless the reset push button switch is activated.
Then the LED will be turn off and return to its initial condition. The “TEST” push button
included two functions; The first function is “Lamp TEST” if push and hold this push button
less than 3 seconds, it will light up all LED lamp at the front panel only. The second function
is “Function Test” if push and hold this push button more than 3 seconds, the LED lamp will
start flicking and Bell/Buzzer alarm. This “TEST” push button is provided for checking
purpose of all LED and operating function at normal condition. While checking all LED and
suddenly some of the alarm signals are occurred, the alarm sequence will be operated as usual
without effect from the lamp test sequence. Alarm sequence can be selected by software for
manual reset sequence or auto reset sequence, which described as below;

Alarm Sequence Chart
•Manual reset sequence
In this mode, the momentary fault inputs will be latched until acknowledgement and
reset to clear. Alarm device is silenced , lamp stop flashing and steady on when
acknowledged command.
Manual reset of the alarm can be done only process conditions return to normal.
•Auto reset sequence
In this mode, If alarm contact returns to normal before acknowledgement then the
alarm function will immediately reset on acknowledge stage.
•Input Indicator Function
This function is same as indicator lamp. When an alarm signel feed through an
assigned input of annunciator, the LED display lamp of that design fault will lid or
steady on . After alarm input returns to normal then the display lamp will automatic
off.
