Installation and Operation Instructions for
SELECTRONIC®TATTLETALE®Annunciator
Model ST8
ST-94112N
Revised 07-04
Section 25
(00-02-0758)
Description
The ST8is an eight point TATTLETALE®panel designed to give “first out”
indication of cause of alarm or shutdown. This “first out” feature means
that only the first fault will be shown by LED; this feature isolates the
primary cause of shutdown, and helps simplify troubleshooting. The
ST8 is available in two different types of mounting: flush mounting
(“F”), and gimbal mounting (“G”).
Specifications
All specifications apply to both models unless indicated.
Power Input (Operating Voltage): 8–32 VAC, 8–40 VDC
Sensor Inputs:8 sensor switches, normally open or
normallyclosed dry contacts.
Number of Alarm Points: ST8: 8 first out shutdown/alarm.
Lockout Time Delay During Startup:
25 to 35 seconds (selectable for each sensor input).
Please read the following information before installing. A visual inspection of this product for damage during shipping is rec-
ommended before mounting. It is your responsibility to have a qualified person install this unit and make sure it conforms to
NEC and local codes.

1. Install the gimbal mounting bracket with three screws (cus-
tomer supplied) according to the mounting hole dimensions
shown below. NOTE: Verify the TATTLETALE®s rotation
clearance (see Dimensions, page 1).
2. Attach the TATTLETALE®to the gimbal bracket with the
washer and mounting bracket knobs.
APPLYING PREPRINTED LABELS
Preprinted label are supplied with the TATTLETALE®. These
labels are precut, pressure sensitive and when properly applied
are permanent. To insure proper label application perform the
following steps:
1. Be sure the TATTLETALE®s faceplate is clean and free ofoil.

2. Peel one label at a time and position on the faceplate in the
box which matches the input sensor position.
3. Before pressing down, be sure label is correctly placed.
4. Press firmly on the label, and leave untouched for
several hours.

The Figures below show typical customer switch wiring for the ST8.
Switch wiring should be run separately from other wires; DO NOT
routeswitch wires with AC power wires since voltages, that may
be induced into the switch wires, may exceed rating and cause
damage to circuits or cause false trips.
Figure 1shows the wiring for a normally open (N.O.) SWICH-
GAGE®connected between terminal B and the negative power input.
Ametal jumper is connectedbetweenAand B. When the SWICH-
GAGE®closes the shutdown/alarm circuit will be initiated.
Figure 2 shows the wiring for a normally closed (N.C.) switch
connected to input terminals A and B. The factory installed
metal link must be removed to use this wiring. When the switch
opens the shutdown/alarm will be initiated.
Figure 3 shows the wiring for aN.O. SWICHGAGE®which isthe
same as Figure 1 except two wires are run from terminalsAand B to
the SWICHGAGE®. ThisClosed Loop™ wiring circuit monitors the
wires as well asthe switch. If the circuit isopened due to a loose
connectionor broken wire or the SWICHGAGE®closes, the shut-
down/alarm circuit will be initiated.
Figure 4shows the ST8 internal SPDT relay in the “run” or operat-
ing mode.

BASIC OPERATION
ST8
1. Apply power to the ST8 TATTLETALE®(terminals13 and 14).
2. The “POWER ON” and “RUN” LED light will switch On. The
“POWER ON” LED indicates power has been applied to the ST8.
The “RUN” LED indicates the internal relay is in the
operating mode.
3. The lockout time delay during startup will begintiming. Sensors with
lockout time delay selected (see Setting Lockout Switches below) will
not trip alarm or shutdown circuit until time delay times out (25-35
seconds). If lockout switches are not set there will not be a time
delay during startup.
4. The 8 Red shutdown LEDs are for shutdown indication (see
Figure 6).
5. When a shutdown signal is received from a SWICHGAGE®, the
shutdown LED will light and internal shutdown relay will switch to
activate a shutdown device (see Typical Wiring page 3). All other
shutdown sensor inputs are locked out.
6. Shutdown LED will remain on even if conditions return to normal.
To clear the LED, power must be removed or push button reset
is operated.
Setting Lockout Switches
Lockout switches allow you to lockout shutdown/alarm sensors during
startup. For instance, on a pressure SWICHGAGE®, the lockout time
delay allows time for pressure to build up thus lifting the pointer off the
low limit contact. If the lockout time delay is not set the TATTLE-
TALE®will initiate the shutdown/alarm sequence.
Each sensor input on the ST8 has a lockout
time delay at startup with a length of 25 to
35 seconds.
1. Locate the lockoutswitches on back
of the unit (see Figure 7).
2. Determine which sensors you wish
to lock out. Switch the corresponding
sensor lockout switch “ON”. A SEN-
SOR CAN BE LOCKED-OUT
ONLY WHEN ITS LOCKOUT
SWITCH IS SWITCHED “ON”.
3. Remove the jumper between terminals 12 and 13. This will activate
the time delay. If this jumper is not removed the lockout time delay
will not function.
