System Overview
1. General
The 561A Multi-Zone Annunciator is ready to use from the factory.
It comes Pre-Configured with basic Factory (Default) settings of
Eight Burglar Zones. The System can be Re-Configured via the
Serial Port. This requires an RS232 Adapter, Personal Computer
and the Configuration Software.
The 8 Zone Modules are comprised of two components, the ILM
(Input Light Module) and the TM (Termination Module). The ILM
contains the Micro-Controller, LEDs and Zone Push Buttons. The
TM contains the Voltage Regulators, Interface and Signal
Conditioning Circuitry and the Input/Output Terminations.
2. Typical Operation
***Based upon standard factory programming and options***
Input Loop – The Inputs are configured to monitor NC/NO EOL (End of
Line) Resistor Loop. The Secure State is with a Loop resistance of 1k
Ohms. If the resistance is <500 ohms or >2k ohms the Annunciator will
detect an Alarm Condition.
Auxiliary Control Inputs - The four control inputs are not typically used
with the 531 Series Annunciator, however, they are configured as
follows:
1. Acknowledge
2. Reset
3. Lamp Test
4. Shunt Disable w/ Memory
Green LED – The Green LED will display the condition of the Input.
1. LED ON – Indicates a Secure Input Loop.
2. LED OFF – Indicates an Alarm Condition.
Red LED – The Red LED will display the Alarm Condition of a Zone.
1. LED Flashing – Indicates an Alarm.
2. LED Steady – Indicates an Acknowledged Alarm.
3. LED OFF – Indicates NO Alarm Condition.
Yellow LED – Displays the Individual Shunt (Arm/Disarm) status of a
Zone. It does not indicate the System Wide Arm/Disarm Status.
1. LED OFF – Indicates the Zone is Armed.
2. LED ON – Indicates the Zone is Shunted (Disarmed).

5
Zone Push Button – The Zone Push Button provides for individual
Zone Control of Acknowledge, Reset and Shunt (Arm/Disarm).
Momentarily pressing the Zone Pushbutton will:
1. Acknowledge a Zone in Alarm
2. Reset an Alarmed and Secured Zone
3. If pressed for >3 seconds, change (toggle) the Shunt
(Arm/Disarm) State of the Zone
Audible Sounder – The Audible Sounder will indicate an Alarm
Condition or Exit/Entry Delays in progress.
1. Activate Steady ON with any Alarm
2. Pulse during Exit/Entry Delay
3. Silence when the Zone is acknowledged.
4. Reactivate on any new Alarm
Individual Zone Outputs – There are 8 individual Open Collector Zone
Outputs on each Termination Module, one for each Zone, programmed
to latch on an Alarm Condition. Each Output is rated at 24VDC 100mA
maximum.
Common Zone Outputs – There are 2 common Open Collector
Outputs, one wired to and programmed as an Audible Sounder and one
wired to a SPDT Relay and programmed as a Non-Latch.

3.7. Input to Output Mapping
The Annunciator Module has 8 inputs and 8 individual outputs per 8
Zone Module. They are Factory configured to operate on a 1 to 1
basis. Input 1 to Output 1, Input 2 to Output 2, etc... Outputs may
be configured to operate with any individual Input or combination of
Inputs.
When configuring the Annunciator Module, use the table in the
lower right corner of the Configuration Software to bridge inputs to
outputs. Black squares in the table indicate a bridge. Click on any
square to change its state.
Example: In the row identified as Input 4, if Outputs 4, 5 and 6 are
checked off, then any time that Input 4 is activated, Outputs 4, 5
and 6 will be activated. The Outputs will operate in accordance
with their individually programmed Output Type.
3.8. Module Settings
The Module Settings configure the Annunciator Module’s Serial
Port (J7) and I2C Ports (J5&J6) for Systems that require the
interconnection of multiple Modules in a cabinet or connection of a
Local Annunciator to a Remote Annunciator. These settings are
set at the factory and SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED. Contact the
Factory if you have accidentally made changes to these settings.
4. Default Settings
Table 4-1 provides a list of the major features of the Annunciator system

5. Planning the System
The speed and efficiency of installing a Flair Annunciator will be
greatly enhanced by planning the installation. Programming can be
minimized by analyzing the job requirements and comparing these with
the factory default program. The PROGRAMMING GUIDE, (Appendix
B), has been developed to aid in the system design. To use this guide,
decide what characteristics you want for each Zone and insert the
values in the appropriate boxes in the PROGRAMMING CHART.
Use the checklist below to ensure that all of the details have been
considered.
1. Draw a diagram of the installation showing the location of the
Annunciator Panel, Input Devices (Switches, PIRs, etc.), Output
Devices (Sirens or Strobes) and any other Auxiliary Devices.
2. Determine and indicate the Type of Devices to be monitored-
Closed Circuit, Open Circuit or High Security Multi-State Circuit.
Identify to which Zone each device will be connected.
3. Review the Option List and determine if the Factory Default
Settings are satisfactory for your installation, if not, use a COPY of
the Programming Guide (Appendix B) and note the configuration
and options that you need for each zone.
6. Bench Testing
The following paragraphs provide a method for becoming familiar with
the 531 Annunciator prior to understanding all of its capabilities and
detailed operational characteristics. This test series assumes one has
nothing more than a 531 annunciator, 12VDC power source (may not be
included), screwdriver, wire strippers, diagonal cutters and some wire.
These steps will take you through limited hook-up and operation.
Unpack the 531and inspect the carton for the following contents
1. 531 Annunciator
2. J1 – Zone Input Harness
3. J8 – 12Vdc Input Harness
4. 8 – 1000 Ohm Resistors
Make the following connections before applying power. Refer to figure
5-1 for a detailed hookup diagram of the 531.
1. Using the free end of the Zone Input Harness and the 8 - 1000
Ohm Resistors, connect a 1000 Ohm End-Of-Line Resistor to
each of the Colored Input Wires. Connect the free end of the 8
Resistors to the Common Black Wire. This will complete the 8
Input Loops.
2. Connect the Zone Input Harness to J1 – 9 pin header, on the
Termination Module.
14
3. Using the free end, connect the 12Vdc Input Harness to a
12Vdc power source.
4. Connect the 12Vdc Input Harness to J8 – 2 pin header, on the
Termination Module.
Immediately after the 12Vdc Input Harness is connected to the
Termination Module the 531 Annunciator will begin a diagnostic
sequence, all LEDs will light in a test sequence. After the diagnostics
are complete the 531 will be in an operational mode. The LEDs should
be illuminated as follows:
Yellow – OFF
Green – ON
Red – OFF
If any Green LED is OFF and the Corresponding Red LED is ON or
Flashing, a zone is violated. Check the connection of J1 – Input
harness and the EOL resistors.
Test each Zone – Follow the sequence below completely for each zone,
one at a time.
1. Short across a Zone Input EOL Resistor. As the EOL Resistor
is shorted, the Green LED will turn off, the corresponding Red
LED will begin flashing and the Audible Sounder will turn on.
2. Depress the corresponding Zone Push Button. The Audible
Sounder will silence and the Red LED will turn Steady ON.
3. Remove the short from the EOL Resistor. The Green LED will
turn ON.
4. Depress the corresponding Zone Push Button. The Red LED
will turn OFF.
5. Remove the EOL Resistor. As the EOL Resistor is removed,
the Green LED will turn OFF, the corresponding Red LED will
begin Flashing and the Audible Sounder will turn ON.
6. Depress the corresponding Zone Push Button. The Audible
Sounder will silence and the Red LED will turn Steady ON.
7. Install the EOL Resistor. The Green LED will turn ON.
8. Depress the corresponding Zone Push Button. The Red LED
will turn OFF.

15
7. Programming
The 531 Series Annunciator may be Programmed / Configured using
the Configuration Software. This requires a PC (Desktop or Laptop)

(-) terminal of the Battery. If the Battery is connected backwards
there is a risk of Explosion, Fire and Damage to the Annunciator,
Power Supply, Transformer and Battery.
WARNING: The Annunciator Termination Module is internally
fused. Shorting the Common + (White) wires (J3, J4) to Ground or
the Open Collector Outputs will BLOW the FUSE and require
Factory servicing.
20
Appling power to the Annunciator
Once all field wiring has been completed and checked for opens,
shorts and grounds.
Power can be applied to the panel as follows:
1. Connect the Battery Leads
2. Connect the AC Transformer
8.2. Zone Wiring – J1 Connector
Zones are wired according to the diagrams below. The Annunciator
Module must be configured for the type of Zone supervision you
require.
8.2.1. N.C./N.O.– 1000 Ohm EOL
For use with N.C. and or N.O. contacts. N.C/N.O. EOL Zones
must have a 1000 Ohm resistor across them. If the Zone is
shorted or open, it will Alarm, there is no trouble condition.
Resistors should always be placed at the end of the wire run.
8.2.2. N.C. – 1000 ohm EOL
For use with N.C. contacts. N.C. EOL Zones must have a
1000 Ohm resistor across them. An Open Zone will generate
an Alarm condition; a Shorted Zone will generate a Trouble
condition. Resistors should always be placed at the end of the
wire run.

21
8.2.3. N.O. or Fire – 1000 Ohm EOL
For use with N.O. Contacts. N.O. EOL Zones must have a
1000 Ohm resistor across them. A Shorted Zone will generate
an Alarm condition; an Open Zone will generate a Trouble
condition. Resistors should always be placed at the end of the
wire run.
8.2.4. High Security – 2000 Ohm EOL
For use with High Security Multi-State Contacts. High Security
EOL Zones must have a Secure Loop resistance of 2000
Ohms, and a Normal Alarm Loop resistance of 5300 Ohms.
Flair Electronics manufactures 2-Wire Balanced Magnetic
Contacts in this configuration.
8.3. Digital Inputs – J2 Connector
Each Annunciator Module has 4 digital inputs, with an internal pull up
resistor, to connect to auxiliary switches for control functions.
Each Input will be activated by shorting to ground, a common ground
wire (Black) is provided on the Digital Input connector J2. Digital
Inputs of multiple Modules may be connected together, daisy chained,
to a single switch to provide a single control for all Modules. Digital
Inputs may also be activated by an Open Collector Output from a
separate Digital Source (Alarm Control Panel, PLC, PC, etc…)
making sure to connect a common ground wire from the Annunciator
to the Digital Source.
22
8.4. Individual and Common Outputs – J3 & J4 Connectors
Each Annunciator Module has 8 Individual and 2 Common, Open
Collector Outputs. Each output is rated 24VDC Maximum voltage,
100 milliamps Maximum current, resistive load.
WARNING: Do not connect output directly to a capacitive load
(Strobe Light, Siren, etc...)
WARNING: When connecting the outputs to an Inductive Load
(Relay) install a surge protection diode across the coil of the relay.
The 2 Common Outputs of the Annunciator Modules are typically
connected together, daisy chained, to an auxiliary circuit board, which
contains an Audible Sounder (Common Output 1) and a SPDT 2amp
Relay (Common Output 2).
The 8 Individual Outputs act as a switch to ground and may be
connected to a small audible device, LED lamp, low current relay w/
surge diode, input of a digital device (PLC, Digital Dialer, Alarm
Panel, or PC) etc… You will need to provide a (+VDC) source to the
devices, either using the +12Vdc terminal from the Annunciator power
supply or a separate 12Vdc power source, and connect a common
ground from the Separate Source to the common ground of the
Annunciator Power Source.
8.5. Power Input – J8 Connector
If Annunciator is provided with a DC Power Supply, connect the Red
(+13.8Vdc) and Black (Ground) wires of connector J8 to the (+) and
(–) terminals of the Power Supply.
If the Annunciator was not provided with a DC Power Supply, you will
need to provide a Regulated 10-15VDC Power Supply, 12Vdc
recommended.
Calculate the required current capacity.
Each 8 Zone Module requires 200 milliamps in addition to any power
required by devices connected to the Individual or Common Outputs.
EXAMPLE:
2 - 8 Zone Modules = 200 mA each = 400 mA
2 Common Outputs = 50 mA each = 100 mA
16 Individual Outputs = 100 mA each = 1600 mA
Total = 2100 mA
= 2.1 Amps
For battery charging purposes, the Power Supply may need to be
adjusted to 13.8Vdc, as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
