Introduction
The DIGI*TRAC Annunciator (DTA) is used to monitor basic security
functions—such as alarm, input, and relay status. It provides a local
display of critical information near or outside the protected area. The
DTA is ideal for lobbies and other passages outside of the secured
area where a qualified individual can confirm the protected area is
secure.
On the back of the Annunciator is an integrated MATCH2 board that
communicates with the controller using the same digital channel as
both the ScramblePad and MATCH.
Figure 1: DIGI*TRAC Annunciator – Side View
The front of the Annunciator includes both a four-line, 20-character
LCD display and four status request buttons.
The status request buttons are smart keys that change their meaning
according to the current dialog displayed on the LCD screen above
the keys.

Both a picture and an illustration of this front panel is shown in
Figure 2:
Figure 2: DIGI*TRAC Annunciator –Front View
These keys are used for status requests only and cannot issue
commands of any sort.
Status requests supported are:
●Alarm Log Display from the Controller's Alarm Buffer (holds last
256 alarms)
●Current Relay Status (to determine whether a door is locked)
●Current Input Status (to determine where a door is closed or a
device is secured)
This unit requires a CCM v.7.0.21 or later but does not require any
host software for setup or operation. It is ideal for lobbies and other
passages outside of the secured area where an individual can confirm
that the protected area is secure (such as locked and ready to leave).

Installing the Annunciator
The DIGI*TRAC Annunciator comes pre-assembled with the MATCH2
board installed on the back of the DTA.
Hirsch supplies the DTA in either a surface-mounted or
flush-mounted back box. For surface-mounting, Hirsch provides a
MB4; For flush-mounting, Hirsch supplies the MB3.
Figure 3: DTA Back Boxes
Make sure to specify which mounting you need when you order the
DTA.
The DTA is a secure annunciator and requires a ScramblePad code or
card to activate the display.
A simplified example of an Annunciator installation looks like Figure 4:

A more complex example is shown in Figure 5:
Figure 5: Annunciator Example
This example represents the way in which an annunciator can be
used to monitor activity within a given area—in this case, three rooms
incorporating readers, keypads, relays, motion detectors, amongst
other devices—and supply alarm and event information specific to the
entry and exit of personnel to/from that area.
The required components include:
●DIGI*TRAC Controller
●Annunciator
●Keypad or Card Reader
Most of the installation and configuration requirements for the
Annunciator are identical to those you would observe for the MATCH2
board (refer to “MATCH Interface Installation”on page 7-76 in the
DIGI*TRAC Design and Installation Guide for more details).

To install the Annunciator:
1. Locate the place where you want to install the DTA.
The DTA should be located near the ScramblePad/ScrambleProx
and/or reader that will authorize the DTA’s use.
2. Use the surface mount plate or flush mount back box to position
and draw an outline on the wall.
3. Either secure the surface-mount box (MB4) to the wall or cut a
hole for the flush-mount box (MB3), then route the appropriate
wires into the box.
4. Turn off the power to the area or wall where you want to install
the Annunciator.
5. Depending on the type of device you are using, connect the
device in one of these ways.
If you are using a ScramblePad to activate the Annunciator:
a. Route the wire from the Controller to the D*TRAC port on the
DTA’s MATCH2 board as shown in Figure 6. Connect the wire
to the port.
Figure 6: Connect Controller and Keypad to the Annunciator
The DTA communicates with the MATCH2 via its RS-232 port
(P2) and draws its power from one of the MATCH2's reader
ports. This comes pre-wired from the factory.

b. Connect an extension cable from the Keypad port on the DTA’s
MATCH2 board to the keypad.
If you are connecting a reader to the Annunciator:
a. Relocate the connector from Reader Port 1 on the MATCH2 to
Reader Port 2.
This is only used as a power source for the DTA.
b. Connect the Reader to Reader Port 1 on the DTA’s MATCH2
board as shown in the example in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Connecting Reader to the DTA
This picture shows a specific type of proximity reader
(CR20L) which is also used in the DS47L-SPX. Your
reader and wiring specifications may differ from this
example.

Reader
1) MATCH switch settings: use the settings appropriate
to your specific reader or keypad
2) Maximum cable length depends on reader
specified
3) Reader Port 2 is reserved for the Annunciator connection.
