The Universal Annunciator provides one “Form-C” relay outputs each for connection of up to (8) eight alarm conditions
to the building’s main fire alarm panel or other device. Typical UL-2524 installations require at least the following alarm
conditions to be annunciated:
1. Loss of AC power
2. Low battery, indicating the battery has discharged by 70%
3. Charger failure
4. BDA Failure
5. Donor Antenna Failure

Installation & Wiring
A) Wall-Mount Installation:
The AP-8000 is designed to be wall mounted. Select a suitable location in accordance with any approved building plans
or as specified by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Affix the cabinet to the wall using the supplied hardware.
If required, alternative mounting arrangements may be used but avoid drilling new holes into the box, or the front cover
door, as doing so may void the enclosure’s NEMA-4 environmental rating.

B) Wiring
The following wiring is required to place the annunciator into service:
1) Connection to a power supply: See wiring diagram on page 5. Provide DC power from the DC output of the battery
back-up (BBU) unit to the “Input Power” terminals located at the lower-left corner of the AP-8000 circuit board. This terminal
accepts 12-22 AWG wire size. We recommend installing the provided 2 amp fuse and inline fuse holder on the positive DC
input to the AP-8000, wired as close to the power source as practical. Connect the (+) to the top screw terminal, and (-) to
the bottom screw terminal. The annunciator is protected against reverse polarity but will not function if the power input
connections are reversed, resulting in blowing 2 amp fuse.
The main power supply is fused at 2 amps. Replace only with the same size fuse: Littelfuse 0.33002.MXP (or equivalent).
2) Connection to alarm initiating circuits: The annunciator is designed to accept up to (8) alarm initiating circuits, each of
which shall provide a “ground”, to the corresponding input for that circuit.
The input connector is colored green with orange push buttons, and is located just above the power supply input. The
positions are numbered 1 through 10, from left-to-right, as shown in Figure 1.
This terminal block accepts wire sizes 16 through 24 AWG.

5 Alarm Input #5
6 Alarm Input #6
7 Alarm Input #7
8 Alarm Input #8
9 Com/Ground
10 Regulated +5 Volts DC
Note: If desired, a regulated 5-volts DC and ground may be applied directly to terminals #9 and #10, which effectively
bypasses the functionality of the on-board regulator.
CAUTION: Do not simultaneously apply power to both the main Input Power Connector and the above terminals. Doing so
may damage the annunciator or any external equipment connected to it.
Note: If desired, a regulated 5-volts DC and ground may be applied directly to terminals #9 and #10, which effectively
bypasses the functionality of the on-board regulator.
CAUTION: Do not simultaneously apply power to both the main Input Power Connector and the above terminals. Doing so
may damage the annunciator or any external equipment connected to it.
Position #6 is shipped from the factory pre-configured for use as a piezo-alert output.
3) Connection to the building’s main fire alarm panel: (This step #3 is optional.)
The AP-8000 provides (8) Form-C relay outputs that may be connected to the building’s fire alarm panel. Confirm with
your local building inspector/authority having jurisdiction (“AHJ”) whether such connections are permissible in your area.
Each Form-C alarm output relay has a separate wiring terminal. These terminals are located along the right-hand side of
the circuit board with “Alarm 1” at the top, and “Alarm 8” at the bottom.
The alarm relay terminals accept wire sizes 18-22 AWG.
End Of Line Resistors: If desired, an in-series “End of Line” supervision resistor may be installed on the screw terminals
adjacent to the relays. Any EOL resistors placed here will be “in-series” with the Common terminal of the Form-C relay. If
these EOL terminals are not used, they must be shorted across, so that the Common terminal of the relay is presented to
the wiring block. The AP-8000 ships from the factory will all (8) EOL terminals blocks shorted across.
4) Connection to piezo-beeper: A single expansion slot is provided near the upper center of the circuit board. Standard
annunciator models ship from the factory with a single weatherproof NEMA-4 piezo beeper connected to this expansion
slot.
Additional accessories may be available, now or in the future, and each such accessory item shall be accompanied by
an instruction sheet describing its use of the expansion slot pins, if any.
5) Press-to-Test Button: The annunciator is equipped with a “Press-to-Test” button. When pressed, all front panel LED’s will
illuminate. (The piezo beeper and alarm relay outputs do not activate.)

device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Troubleshooting
This Universal Annunciator is designed and engineered to provide years of service in unattended commercial installations.
With the exception of a single internal 2 amp ceramic fuse, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
In the event the annunciator fails to function properly, there are a few basic system checks that can be performed in the
field:
1) Check for the green, blinking “Heartbeat” LED light located at the upper left portion of the circuit board. This green LED
blinks under microprocessor control. If the LED is blinking, it means the microprocessor is running and operating
normally. If the Heartbeat LED is not illuminated, or is blinking erratically, there may be a problem with the power
supplied to the device.
2) Measure the voltage across Pins 9 & 10 on the Alarm Input connector. This value should be +5 Volts DC regardless
of how the annunciator is powered (i.e., via the Main Power, or these pins 9 & 10).
3) Verify that all wiring connections to all terminals are clean and tight, and that the wiring is fully under the
terminal screws.
If the above system checks do not resolve the problem, please contact our Technical Support staff for further assistance.
Warranty
Newmar warrants that the AP-8000 PE Series Annunciator Panel to be free from defects in material and workmanship for
two years from date of purchase. If a problem with your AP-8000 or if you have any questions about the installation and
proper operation of the unit, please contact NEWMAR’s Technical Services Department:
