A P925TS-RK 19” 3U Base Rack with 13 card slots is supplied with each system and
the following can be used as required.
P925TS-X Interface Card
P925TS-I Input Cards (16 channel)
P925TS-O Output Cards (16 channel)
P925TS-R Relay Cards (16 channel)
P925TS-BL Blanking Plates to protect and cover unused positions
P925TS-RK-ETN 19” 3U Expansion Racks with 14 card slots
Any combination of Input, Output or Relay Cards can be used to suit individual
applications. Ribbon sockets are provided on the rear of each rack allowing all of the
common system bus to be linked to expansion racks using factory supplied ribbon
cables.
Each Rack is equipped with its own 24VDC Logic and Signal Supply Fuse for added
protection and status LED’s are provided per fuse.
10
Universal Card Slots
All card slots within the racks are universal in application therefore Input, Output or
Relay Cards can be inserted into any available slot. Cards are inserted from the front
of the rack and once inserted automatically connect to the customer terminals located
on the rear of the chassis. Locking screws are provided at the top and bottom of each
card to ensure they are firmly seated at all times.
Polarisation Keys
For added security all cards and slots are supplied with polarisation keys to prevent
accidental insertion into the incorrect position within the racks. The polarisation can be
changed but care must be taken to ensure the associated field wiring is disconnected
and re-wired before cards of a different type are inserted into slots previously occupied
by different card types. For example high voltage inputs may have been used on a
socket that it being upgraded for use with low voltage outputs.
System Connections
In larger applications multiple racks can used to form larger systems and common bus
connections between racks are linked via RTK supplied plug in ribbon cables. These
connect to dedicated ribbon sockets located on the rear of each rack and are labelled
ribbon IN and ribbon OUT. The standard ribbon is 1mtr in length but additional length
cables can be supplied at time of order if required.
Customer Connections
Industry standard rising clamp terminal blocks, capable of accepting a maximum of
2.5mm2cable are provided on the rear of each rack for connection of logic power,
signal power, signal inputs, lamp and relay outputs. Locking screws are provided at
the top and bottom of each terminal block to allow them to be easily removed during
installation, commissioning or fault finding.
Fully Field Configurable
Each channel within the 9000TS System can be configured by the customer using the
RTK supplied software utility and all programming information is stored in non-volatile
memory on individual cards with a minimum of 20 years retention. Full details of the
software and available features are provided via a separate manual.
Print Outs
A dot matrix printer can be directly connected to the P925TS-X Interface Card to
dynamically print the alarms as they occur or the user can choose to disable the print
function for later analysis. 3 tactile pushbuttons located on the face of the Interface
Card allow the user to trigger predefined reports as detailed later in this manual.
System 9000TS
11
First-Up Alarms
When a group of alarms is initiated, it is often critical to know the first alarm to occur
within the group as it allows the user to quickly identify the primary cause of failure.
This should reduce downtime and allow the plant to be returned to the operational
state in the shortest possible time. A printout of events to a 1mS resolution and or a
First-Up alarm sequences can be used to identify the primary cause of failure.
System Relays
Eight relays are provided within the P925TS-X Interface Card comprising two horn
relays and six common relays, which can be software configured to provide common
alarm group or failure alarm contacts for use with 3rd party devices.
Time Delays
Whilst some of the alarms in the system may require events to be captured to a 1ms
resolution some of the alarms may not need to respond in the same manner. Input
Cards are therefore provided with incremental time delays that allow the user to
configure each channel to activate and / or de-activate after a pre-set time limit has
elapsed. Each channel can be selected between 1 and 65,000ms
Auto Shelve
When high-speed events are being captured and stored in logs a faulty input contact
to an alarm channel can quickly fill the associated event buffers. Each channel can be
software configured to automatically shelve an alarm if the frequency of alarms
exceeds the specified norm within a defined time period. Once the channel returns to
set limits it will be automatically removed from auto shelve and will carry on
responding in the normal way. When auto-shelve occurs the event is stored in memory
and printed as required.
Sleep Mode
In applications where plant areas are not manned on a permanent basis – Sleep Mode
– can be used to disable the output drives to Displays and Audibles. This feature is
used to minimise drain on the primary power source, (typically batteries), and to
prevent unnecessary noise pollution.
Sleep mode is a standard feature of the 9000TS System and it is important to note that
whilst in this mode the logic continues to respond to alarms in the normal manner. The
pushbutton functions are disabled during sleep mode to ensure that once this feature
has been turned off the operator can use the associated pushbuttons to control the
alarms in the normal way.

SECTION 3 – MECHANICAL DETAILS
Logic Rack
The 9000TS System is mounted in industry standard 19" Racks manufactured to
IEC297-3 (DIN1494 Pt5). On larger systems multiple racks are supplied and ribbon
cables, which plug into dedicated sockets on the rear of each rack, are used to link
common bus lines.
When mounting the rack care must be taken to ensure that there is sufficient room to
withdraw the cards from the front of the rack and for cable access to the rows of 16
way terminals mounted on the rear of the rack. Customer inputs and outputs are
capable of accepting cable up to a maximum of 2.5mm2and each terminal block can
be removed for ease of wiring using the locking screws provided at either end of the
block
Mounting
The 19” Rack should be mounted in a location that is free from excessive moisture,
vibration, heat and dust with sufficient clearance at the front to withdraw all cards
without obstruction and space at the rear to connect the associated field wiring. All
spare positions in a rack are fitted with all of the necessary edge connectors and
chassis blanking plates for ease of expansion at a later date. Additional Input, Output
or Relay Cards can therefore be plugged in and connected with ease.
Earthing
To comply with the EMC requirements for electrostatic discharge IEC801-2 it is
essential that each 19" Rack is suitably earthed. A dedicated earth point is supplied on
the right hand side plate of each rack for this purpose.
Plug-in Cards
The first rack in any system is supplied with one P925TS-X Interface Card and thirteen
vacant card slots, which can be used for a combination of :-
CARD TYPE FUNCTION SPACE REQUIRED
P925TS-1 16 Channel Input Card One Card Slot
P925TS-O 16 Channel Output Card One Card Slot
P925TS-R 16 Channel Repeat Relay Card Two Card Slots
P925TS-BL Blanking Plates One Card Slot
Once the cards are plugged into the rack they automatically connect to the
motherboard to link all of the control functions between cards and to provide
connections to the Customer terminals mounted on the rear of the rack.
Lamp / LED Displays
The 9000TS System is able to drive existing displays or RTK can supply the system
with RTK manufactured display units as required.

Multiple Racks Systems
In larger SOE or combined SOE / Annunciator schemes multiple racks can be supplied
as required.
These systems still only 1 x P925TS-X Interface Card for communication to the
outside world and to being able to configure the associated cards.
The common signals required between racks are fully buffered and are connected
using RTK supplied plug in ribbon cables which connect into dedicated sockets on the
rear of the associated racks as typically shown below.

SECTION 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-checks
The system is supplied fully tested and, if requested, pre-configured to suit your
application so detailed on site re-testing should not be necessary.
After connections have been completed the following pre-checks should be made
before applying power.
1. Ensure the equipment is earthed using the specific earth stud on the right-hand
side of the P925TS-RK Euro-rack.
2. Check that the power supply is adequately rated and suitable for the primary
supply available and that the output voltage is suitable for use with the 9000TS
system.
3. The 9000TS System requires a 24VDC logic supply and the 24VDC signal
supply is derived from this supply as standard. (Options exists for high voltage
inputs fed via external power source as detailed within this manual)
4. Check that all cards are fully seated and the retaining screws have been
tightened.
5. Check all alarm contacts are volt-free and correctly wired using the common
voltage +24VDC available on terminal +VC for standard systems (Options
exists for high voltage inputs fed via external power source as detailed within
this manual)
6. Care should be taken with the output wiring to the display to ensure no shorts
occur.
7. Please note a short in the output will not damage the equipment but could give
extremely misleading results.
Status LED
Each card is supplied with a status LED which is used for fault and setup indication as
follows:-
LED STATUS
ON Normal Operation
OFF Faulty card or card not recognised in software
Power ON
After completing the above pre-checks, power can be supplied to the unit. The system
will complete an initial self-test and will search for all of the installed cards. During this
time the status LED on the associated input / output card will illuminate as soon as the
system recognises the card and its settings.

SECTION 6 – ALARM SEQUENCES
On systems supplied with P925TS-O Output Cards each channel can be programmed
to operate to a sequence defined within ISA-S18.1 Alarm Sequences. Full details of
how to set each channel to the required alarm sequence are provided in the 9000TS
Configuration Manual.
The following paragraphs detail the most common features.
Summary
Within the alarm annunciator market a common standard has been adopted by all key
manufacturers and end users with regards to operational sequences. These standards
are used worldwide to define the visual indication, audible alarm and the action the
operator must take to control the annunciator.
The Instrument Society of America provide full details of each alarm sequence within
ISA 18.1-1979 (R1992) and RTK are fully compliant with the stated sequences. The
most common sequences are detailed within this section of the manual.
Pushbuttons
Six pushbutton functions are provided within the 9000TS System to allow the user to
be able to control any of the available sequences.
1. Lamp Test – is used to test the LED assemblies by illuminating them in a
steady state for as long as the pushbutton is pressed
2. Functional Test – is used to simulate an input on all channels and therefore all
windows and horn circuits will operate in accordance with the selected ISA
sequence and additional pushbuttons will need to be pressed to step through
the alarm sequence to return the unit to its normal state
3. Mute – is used to silence the audible alarm whilst allowing the associated alarm
window to continue to operate in accordance with the selected ISA sequence
4. Acknowledge – is used to silence the alarm and change the state of the
associated alarm window in accordance with the selected ISA sequence
5. Reset – is used to return the alarm to the normal off state once the Input has
returned to the normal condition
6. First Reset – is used to reset the flash sequence on the first alarm to occur
within a defined group of alarms. Once first reset has been pressed the next
alarm to occur within the group will flash at the first up alarm rate.

Audible Alarms
Each channel within the annunciator can be set to operate RL1 and RL2 common horn
relays as required and RL5 – 8 can be set as additional horn relays as required.
Automatic Reset
Once a channel has been acknowledged and its input has returned to normal the
alarm can be set to automatically reset without the operator having to press the reset
pushbutton
Non Latch Sequence – (No Lock In)
Alarms can be set to non lock-in, which allows the alarm to automatically return to the
non alarm state as soon as the signal input returns to normal
Ringback Sequence
Ringback sequence is used to inform the operator both visually and audibly that an
alarm condition has cleared and the channel can be reset to its normal off state. When
a contact returns to normal the associated window will flash at approx ½ the speed of
a normal alarm and the audible will sound. This identifies the specific alarm and
informs the operator that the alarm can be reset to its normal off state.
First Up Sequences
When monitoring devices with interlinked functions such as a turbine or compressor it
is often important to know the specific alarm that occurred first, as it will invariably
result in cascade of secondary alarms. This allows the operator to focus on the root
cause of failure and therefore limits the downtime and associated costs. This is
achieved by having the first-up alarm flashing in a different manner compared to the
subsequent alarms. Four different first-up sequences are available F0, F1, F2 and F3
as detailed below and in the following sequence tables.
F0 The standard mode adopted by RTK Instruments, which indicates the first-up alarm
by flashing at twice the rate of subsequent alarms.
F1 In this mode subsequent alarms appear in the acknowledged state, hence they do
not flash. The audible device does not operate when subsequent alarms occur,
unless still operating from the first alarm. The acknowledge pushbutton will reset
the first-up indication.
F2 In this mode all subsequent alarms do not flash, they will however operate the
audible device. The acknowledge pushbutton will reset the first-up indication.
F3 In this mode initial alarms appear with an intermittent flash rate and subsequent
alarms flash at a steady rate. On acknowledge subsequent alarms revert to the
steady on state and only the first alarm continues to flash at a slower rate.
Please note auto reset and non lock- in functions are not recommended when using
first up sequences as the true sequence of events cannot be guaranteed.
