Safety Section
D9124 and High Voltage
The D9124 System connects directly to a 20 Amp, single phase circuit breaker. The high
voltages at these connections are extremely dangerous. Only licensed electricians should
make or service these connections.
Ground the System First
For safety and to help prevent damage from
electrostatic charges or other transient
electrical surges, connect the green
ground wire for the 120 VAC to the
stud shown in Figure 6 before making
any other connections to the panel.
Also connect the two green panel
earth ground wires to the earth
ground stud. All connections to the
ground stud must be made exactly
as shown in Figure 5 .
All connections to the 120 VAC
terminals should be performed
as directed by NEC 70.
Safety Precautions While
Handling High Voltage
Danger! High voltage is present
at the AC Power input terminals,
at Fuse F1, and at connector J8,
near the lower right corner of the
D9142 Power Supply (see
Figure 1 ). Always use the dedicated circuit breaker to remove 120 VAC before removing
the covers to the fuse or terminals block. The terminals and fuse must be covered after
making connections or testing these connections.
Safety Precautions While Handling Batteries
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles while connecting batteries together. Mixing
batteries of different battery capacities, or mixing batteries from multiple manufacturers is
not recommended.
Unplug the D9142 battery connector J7 before attaching or removing wires at the D9142
Power Supply’s terminals.

Introduction
Protective Points
As shipped, the Radionics D9124 Addressable 24 VDC System provides eight on-board
points built into the panel. On-board points 7 and 8 support a 24 volt power supply and
notification circuits, and are not for other uses. As shipped, the panel can support 63 added
POPITs. In addition, if you use an additional D8125 POPEX Module, another 63 points can
be added, for a maximum total of 134 (8+63+63). Each point requires an addressable
device for individual annunciation, such as the D462, D290S, D290M, or a POPIT. Each
point is programmed separately with options to custom-fit the protection to your installation.
Point programming parameters determine the system’s response to open and shorted
conditions on the sensor loop.
Communicator
The D9124 Addressable 24 VDC System uses a built-in digital communicator to send
reports to the receiver. Up to four receiver phone numbers can be programmed. You can
program the panel to send reports to primary, backup, and duplicate phone destinations.
The panel transmits reports in either Modem or BFSK format. It is recommended that you
use the Modem format to provide full system information to the receiver.
The D9124 System connects to two D166 RJ31X (or RJ38X) jacks for phone line seizure.
Connection to the jacks complies with FCC regulations for using the public telephone
network. The D9124 System uses the built-in D928 Dual Phone Line Switcher to supervise
two phone lines.
24 Volt DC Outputs
The D9124 Control Communicator provides a 24 volt DC power supply. This power supply
is rated at 4 amps. The operating voltage range of this output is from 18.9 VDC to 28 VDC.
All Radionics 24 volt indicating devices are compatible with this power supply. For other
indicating and initiating devices refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions and verify
the devices minimum operating voltage is equal to or less than 18.9 volts DC and the
maximum operating voltage is equal to or greater than 28 volts DC.
Important: Connection of 24 volt indicating and initiating devices that have a
minimum operating voltage greater than 18.9 VDC or a maximum operating voltage
less than 28 volts DC may be damaged or fail to operate!
Time and Date
To set the time and date you need a D1255 Command Center or RAM II.
Event Logger
The D9124 System stores up to 500 system events and event modifiers in its Event log.
Event modifiers add information about an event to the log. Some events are always followed
by a modifier. For example, the D9124 System adds at least two items to the log each time
it reports a phone line failure or keypad failure. It sends the event name and then an event
modifier showing the number of the failed device.
All events and their modifiers are stored even if the D9124 System does not send a report
for them. You can view the log at a D1256 Fire Command Center, print it locally using the
D9131 Parallel Printer Interface and a parallel printer, or upload it to a D5300 Remote
Account Manager II (RAM II).

Skeds (scheduled events)
The Skeds feature of the D9124 System uses the panel’s internal clock and calendar.
Each Sked is programmed for a time, and either a day of the week schedule or a date of the
year schedule. The user can change the time a Sked occurs if it is programmed for time
editing.
For example, the D9124 System can use the Skeds for a service reminder feature. In this
application, a system fault that activates the panel trouble sounder can be acknowledged
and the sounder silenced. Skeds and an optional D8129 Relay Module can then be used to
reactivate the panel trouble sounder on a daily or weekly basis until the system fault is
corrected.
Local Printer
The D9124 System can print events recorded on a standard parallel printer, using the D9131
Parallel Printer Interface. The D9131 uses an 80 character print format. The format includes
the time, date, account number, event, point number, and point text. The 80 character format
also provides additional system status information.
EMI/Lightning Transient Protection
The D9124 System maintains the Radionics high level of quality and field dependability. Its
design significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and malfunction generally caused
by lightning.
Programming
Use the Radionics D5200 Programmer, or the D5300 Remote Account Manager II (RAM II)
to program the D9124 System. You must use D9112 handlers. See Programming in this
manual for parameters. The D9124 System comes from the factory with a partial program
already loaded. It is necessary for you to complete this program in order for the D9124
System to function. The D9124 Program Record Training Sheet (74-06802-000) contains the
program entries that are loaded into a new D9124 System before it’s shipped from the
factory. Radionics recommends that you copy the program from a new D9124 System. Save
and lock the copied program in your D5200 or RAM II.
Other Features
The D9124 System has many programmable features. A short list of some of the features
follows.
• Supervision of: AC (primary power), battery (secondary power), Auxiliary Power Outputs,
ZONEX and SDI (Serial Device Interface) buses, CPU (Central Processing Unit), up to 3
printers, and telephone lines
• Automatic system test reports
• Remote access for programming, diagnostics, and log uploads using the Radionics
D5300 Remote Account Manager II (RAM II)
• Fire Alarm Verification
• Programmable Alarm Output
Before You Begin
Before you install the D9124 Addressable 24 VDC System, you should be familiar with the
operation of the D5200 Programmer, or the D5300 Remote Account Manager II. You should
also be familiar with the D9112. Contact a licensed electrician to make the D9142’s AC
Power connections to a dedicated 120 VAC circuit breaker.

Connecting the 120 VAC Power Input
Radionics recommends that only a licensed electrician make 120 VAC connections to the
D9124 System. The electrician should make all connections conform to NEC 70 and
connect the D9124 system to a suitable ground connection.
Danger: Turn off the circuit breaker before connecting the 120 VAC to the system.
Leaving the circuit breaker on can cause injury or death by electrocution.
To connect the 120 VAC service to the D9124, follow these steps:
1. If the 120 VAC cabling is already installed go to step 5, if not, go to step 2.
2. Make sure the incoming High Voltage (120 VAC) from the D9124 is disconnected.
Important! Be sure
that the circuit breaker
is OFF.
3. Remove the knockout
cover on the lower left
side of the D9101
enclosure and install
appropriate hardware
for connection to
conduit.
4. Pull the 120 VAC
Power wires through the conduit hardware installed in the knockout, and into the
transformer enclosure.
5. Using appropriate hardware, connect wires to the flying leads from connector J1 as
shown in Table 1 .

transformer cover. The mounting hardware
for the battery shelf is taped to the battery
shelf. The mounting hardware for the
transformer cover is taped to the cover.
Follow these steps to route cables and
install the hardware:
1. Insert the connector for wire harness
J1 into the upper battery shelf so that
the leads hang down from the bottom
of the shelf.
2. Loosely screw the four screws provided
with each shelf into the four shelf
mounting holes. See Figure 4 for
locations.
3. Route the cable connected to the
transformer up, and the battery cables
down through the notch at the back of
the upper battery shelf. All wire
connections to J1 stay below the
battery shelf.
4. Push the upper battery shelf back into
place and align the four holes in the
shelf with the screws. Slip the shelf
down over the screws. Do NOT tighten
the screws yet.
5. Install the bottom battery shelf by

CAUTION: Switching the green and yellow wires affects other command centers:
Incorrectly connecting the green wire from the command center to the motherboard's
terminal 4 and the yellow wire to terminal 3, causes other command centers connected
to the panel to go blank and/or sound random beep tones.
You can connect a maximum of 15,000 feet of 22 AWG wire for all command centers
and printer modules combined to the data bus, terminals 3 and 4 on the motherboard.
You can connect parallel wire runs from the D9124 System to each device, run wire
device to device, or combine the two.
Extra power needed for more command centers and annunciators: The D1255,
D1255R, D1256, and D1257 each draw 104 mA when idle. Each draws 206 mA with the
back lighting for the keys illuminated and the sounder activated. Review the Power
Supply , and Auxiliary Current and Standby Battery Requirements sections to determine
the total power output requirements for your system.
You may need to add one or more UL listed power supplies for the number of command
centers you want to use.
D9124 and he additional power supplies must share COMMON: When using an
additional power supply to power command centers, the common from the additional
power supply must connect to both the command centers' common and the common on
the D9112LTB board.
A stand-alone power supply powering any device connected to the D9124 must also be

Figure 10: D192 Bell Silence Switch
Indicating Circuit (24 VDC Horns, Strobes, Bells)
Description The D192C Indicating Circuit Module supervises the wiring from the control/communicator
to remote alarm indicating devices like horns, strobes, and bells. Wiring is supervised for
open, shorted, or grounded circuit faults.
Signaling devices must comply with the following parameters:
• They must be polarized (DC)
• They must match the voltage rating of the alarm power supply (D9142)
• They must not exceed the current rating of the alarm power supply (D9142)
• Combined, they must not exceed 1.8 Amps on motherboard terminals 7 or 9.
Total output power for the D9124 System must not exceed four Amps: The total
output power for Auxiliary power (terminal 5), and the 24 VDC indicating circuits (terminals
7 and 9) must not exceed four Amps. Exceeding four Amps will overload the D9142
Power Supply. See Calculations for 24 VDC Devices to determine total output
requirements.
Operation During normal operation, the indicating circuit is supervised for incorrectly installed
devices, opens, shorts, and grounds. If any of these conditions are detected, the panel
indicates a trouble condition at the command center. You can program the panel to report
the condition to the central station.
When the panel detects an alarm, the alarm output circuit triggers the D192C to supply
circuit power from the power supply.
To provide supervision, install the 560Ω, 2 Watt EOL resistor (15-03130-005) beyond the
last indicating device. Two resistors are supplied in the literature package.
Silence Switch
The D192C has a toggle switch that is used to disable the fire alarm indicating devices
while you test the panel (see Figure 10 ). When this switch is toggled up in the SILENCE
(OFF) position, the D192C presents a short circuit to Point 7, causing a trouble response.
