Operating Manual
A 4581 Alert/Evac/Chime/Cancel Remote Plate
Redback® Proudly Made In Australia
Overview
The A 4581 wall plate allows remote triggering of the Alert, Evacuation and Chime tones and the cancel function of the
A 4575A Alert/Evacuation Controller. The switches are momentary operation and must be pressed for up to 3 seconds to
activate. The Alert and Evac switches have protective “ip up” covers to prevent accidental operation.
Connections
There are two RJ45 ports on the rear of the A 4581 wall plate, either of which can be used to connect to the A 4575A via
standard Cat5e cabling as shown in Fig 2. If the A 4581 has a connection problem with the A 4575A main unit the LED on
the wall plate will ash.
Remote triggering is only available when the A 4575A is in “Auto” mode which is selected by the key switch on the front
of the A 4575A. If the Alert, Evac and Chime switches on the A 4581 plate are pressed when the A 4575A main unit is in
“Manual” or “Isolate” mode, nothing will happen. The LED on the wall plate will illuminate when the A 4575A main unit
is in “Manual” or “Isolate” mode to alert the user that the wall plate is inactive.
If the Alert and Evac switches are pressed on the A 4575A while the unit is in “Manual” mode the corresponding Alert,
Evac and Chime switches on the A 4581 wall plate will illuminate.
Cascading the A 4581 plates
If more than one remote wall plate is required then the A 4581
wall plates can be cascaded together with only one connection
back to the A 4575A required as shown in Fig 2.
A Maximum of 16 plates is recommended, (If more than 16 wall
plates are required contact Altronics for conguration details).
There are two RJ45 ports on the rear of the A 4575A, either of
which can be used for connection to the wall plates.
The A 4575A also supports connection of the A 4578 wall plate
which is the same as the A 4581 but without the “Chime”
button. Both the A 4578 and A 4581 plates can be
connected to the A 4575A at the same time and in any
combination. Figure 3 illustrates one example.
Every wall plate must have a unique ID which is set by the DIP
switches which are accessed on the rear of the plate. A
maximum of 63 ID’s are available. Remove power before
changing DIP switch settings. The new settings will take effect
when power is returned.
Fig 1 Illustrates the DIP switch ID settings.
DIP Switches 7-8 are not used.
