3 General description
When the Alert Annunciation function shall be used in the systems FT512,
FT128 and FT1022G3, one or more AA units are required to present the AA
alarms and for the related manoeuvres, i.e. to acknowledge / reset the AA
alarms.
The LED "L6" (Operation) is indicating if the "Alert Annunciation" function is
enabled or disabled
1
.
When the AA function is enabled ("L6" on) and a fire alarm in the system, the
LED "L3" (Fire brigade alerted) is indicating whether the alarm is an AA alarm
or normal alarm.
LED L3 will be OFF for AA alarm and ON for non - AA alarm / Output "Fire
brigade tx" activated.
The LED "L4" (Acknowledged) is indicating if the AA alarm has been
acknowledged. See also chapter "Operation", page 25.
3.1 Alert Annunciation Unit 1736
Figure 1. The Alert Annunciation Unit (AAU) 1736.
The Alert Annunciation Unit consists of a compact size enclosure made of
grey (RAL 7035) high impact ABS, with temperature resistance up to 85° C.
Fitted with a supplementary "O" ring gasket, it will comply with IP65, in respect
of dust and moisture. The unit has no door, i.e. the front is accessed directly,
when required. The push buttons are disabled until an AA alarm is activated.
The unit shall be wall mounted. The unit is intended for indoor use and in dry
premises. Two compression glands (IP67) for cable inlets are attached.
3.1.1 SW mode 1736 - 1587
The Alert Annunciation Unit 1736 must run in SW mode 1736 –1587.
In system FT512, 1736 units running in SW mode 1736 –1587 have to be
connected to a DU interface board 1587 mounted in the FT512 C.I.E.
1
The AA function is normally enabled (during daytime) / disabled (during night-time)
via a time channel.

Technical Description
AAU 1736 –Rev 1

In system FT128, 1736 units running in SW mode 1736 –1587 are connected
directly to the main board connector "J1" or via the termination board terminal
15 & 16 (Australian convention) but an optional RS485 transceiver
component (chip) 4552 is required on the main board.
In system FT1020G3, 1736 units running in SW mode 1736 –1587 are
connected directly to the main board connector "J4". No additional interface
required.

4 Selective Fire alarm presentation
Normally all fire alarms will be presented in the C.I.E’s, external FBP’s,
Presentation units, etc. There are some possibilities to select which alarms
that shall be presented in each unit. It is also programmable, i.e. when only
one point in a zone is in alarm status it will be presented as a point alarm
(zone and address), else presented as a zone alarm.
4.1 Alert Annunciation Unit 1736
The alarm presentation in an AA unit will be similar to the one in the C.I.E. that
the AA unit is connected to, i.e. point alarm or zone alarm presentation. See
Operation Manual, chapter "Fire alarm" for each system.
Via Win512 / Win128 / WinG3, it is possible to select which alarms that shall
be presented in the AA unit respectively. For example, if there are many
buildings in an installation, the AA unit in one specific building shall only
present alarms activated within this building.
The following, so called operands are available (CU alternatives not valid for
FT128):
1. Control unit (CU)
2. Consecutive control units (CU1, CU2)
3. Zone (zone)
4. Consecutive zones (zone1, zone2)
5. Zone –address (zone, addr)
6. Consecutive zone –addresses (zone1, addr1, zone2, addr2)
Explanations:
1. CU = Control unit number (C.I.E. no. 00-29)
2. CU1 = The first control unit number in the sequence. CU2 = The
last control unit number in the sequence.
3. zone = Zone number (001-999) In FT128 (01-32).
4. zone1 = The first zone number in the sequence. zone2 = The last
zone number in the sequence.
5. zone, addr = Zone number and address within the zone (001, 01 –
999, 99)
6. zone1, addr1 = The first zone number and address in the
sequence. zone2, addr2 = The last zone number and address in
the sequence.
Up to 50 operands can be used to make a selector for an AA unit. Here
follows a selector example:
Control unit (00), Consecutive zones (100, 500), Zone –address (900, 01)
In this AA unit will only be presented alarms originated from the C.I.E. no. 00
or from zone 100 up to and including zone 500 or from the alarm point 900-01.
Default for each AA unit is, in system FT512 and FT1020G3: Control units
(00, 29), i.e. all alarms from all C.I.E.:s will be presented in all AA units.

Technical Description

individual user definable text message (alarm text)
13
presented in the display
by fire alarm, see the Technical and Operation Manuals for the system
respectively.
The user definable text messages shown in the C.I.E. will also be sent to each
Alert Annunciation Unit and shown in its display.
As an alternative, text messages for all or selected alarm points / zones can
be stored in each AA unit.
14
If so, these text messages will be shown instead
of the text messages sent out from the C.I.E.
The priority order is as follows:
1. Point alarm text stored in the AA unit.
2. Zone alarm text stored in the AA unit.
3. Default alarm text stored in the AA unit.
4. Text sent out from the C.I.E.
When alarm texts shall be stored in all or in some AA units, the unique alarm
texts are created in Win512 / Win128 / WinG3 and downloaded when the
C.I.E. site specific data (SSD) is downloaded.
NOTE! It is also possible to select which fire alarms that shall be presented in
the AA unit respectively, see chapter "Selective Fire alarm presentation", page
8.
13
Each alarm text (up to 40 alphanumeric characters) will be shown on the second

On the FT1020G3 main board (5010) remove the fuse "F19".
The SW mode and the address have to be set in each new unit according to
chapter "SW mode & Address setting", page 13. Here follows a brief summary
(a recommended sequence of actions):
1. Connect the cable from the C.I.E. to the AA unit's terminal block
"J1".
2. When all connections are done put back the fuse "F1" on the 1587
board in the FT512 C.I.E. / power up the FT128 C.I.E. / put back
the fuse "F19" on the main board (5010) in the FT1020G3 C.I.E.,
i.e. the AA unit(s) will now be powered up.
3. A brand new unit will automatically be ready for the SW mode
setting.
4. After SW mode and address setting press "P2" (yellow) and the
unit will restart, see chapter "Restart", page 19.
5. Since the SSD is not downloaded in the C.I.E. there will be a fault
message in the unit's display:
"No contact with Control unit"
All LED’s in the unit will be turned off.
6. Now the SSD have to be downloaded via Win512 / Win128 /
WinG3.
16
Connect the PC to the C.I.E. In the "Win512 / Win128 /
WinG3 download SSD" dialog box, verify that the "Download FBP /
AAU" checkbox is marked. Start the download of SSD.
7. When the download of SSD to the C.I.E. is finished, it will restart.
Then the download of SSD to the AA unit(s) will take place. During
the download to an AA unit, the following will be shown in its
15
One or more external FBPs and/or Alert Annunciation Units can be connected.
16
Via Win512 is the 1587 board programmed. Via Win512 / Win128 / WinG3 is each
unit (e.g. an AA unit) programmed regarding Address, Selective alarm presentation, if
the buzzer should be disabled etc. When required, also "User definable text
messages" (alarm texts).

"No contact with Control unit".
During the restart the LCD will display the following (no back-light):
"Checking program memory…"
followed by (very quickly)
"Program memory OK."
followed by
"SSD memory OK."
All LEDs will be turned “ON” during the restart.
If there is a program memory fault, a fault message will be shown in the
display:
"Memory fault in program area (n)" (n=1 or 2).
The AA unit will not work.
A fault message will also be shown in the C.I.E.:
In system FT512:
"FAULT: Comm, AAU xx, 1587 board x, CU xx".
In system FT128:
"FAULT: No reply AAU x".
In system FT1020G3:
"FAULT: No reply, alert annunciation unit ##, control unit ##"
If there is an SSD (Site Specific Data) memory fault or no SSD downloaded,
there will be a fault message in the display:
"SSD memory fault"
The AA unit will work since the alarm texts will be sent out from the C.I.E.
