GENERATOR SET ANNUNCIATOR
Model EAP 110
DESCRIPTION
•20 Light annunciator meets or
exceeds requirements of NFPA 110,
NFPA 99 & CSA 282-00 building code
standards for Emergency Standby
Generator systems
•RS 422 Data Communication capability
saves installation time & reduces costs
•Programmable annunciation & labeling
allows excellent flexibility for different
applications
•Automatic “ringback” & flashing
annunciator lights provides excellent
status indication of existing & incoming
fault conditions
•4fault annunciation circuits can be
activated from external hardwired
contacts for added system capability
•Multiple EAP 110 Annunciators can be
easily interconnected to provide up to 40
remote annunciation lights from a single
MEC 20 engine controller
The EAP 110 annunciator is designed for remote fault
annunciation of emergency standby generator sets
utilizing Thomson Technology MEC 2 & MEC 20 Engine
Controllers. The advanced design uses a RS 422
communication data link to provide the control &
monitoring signals between the engine controller and
remote annunciator. The communication link allows a
simple, cost effective system installation at any building
site. Up to 20 individual fault conditions are remotely
monitored utilizing both visual LED lights & audible
alarm annunciation. Lamp test and alarm horn silence
pushbuttons are provided. Each fault is individually
programmable for audible horn operation and alarm
labels are field configurable. Operation logic includes a
“auto-ringback” feature to annunciate subsequent alarm
conditions. For applications requiring additional alarm
annunciation from remote sensing contacts, the EAP 110
can accept up to 4 hardwired contact inputs dependant
upon the alarm configuration. The EAP 110 is DC powered
typically from a 12 or 24V engine starting battery. Two
EAP 110 annunciators can be interconnected together via
the communication link to allow up to 40 remote
annunciator points from a single MEC 20 engine controller
(consult Thomson Technology for further details). The
standard features of the EAP 110 meet and exceed all
requirements of NFPA 110, NFPA 99 & CSA 282-00
building code standards for Emergency Standby
Generator systems.

ORDERING INFORMATION
The EAP 110 may be ordered separately or in conjunction with unit mount control panels or engine controllers.
When ordering for use with existing MEC 2/MEC 20 engine controller applications in the field, contact Thomson
Technology for additional information regarding software/hardware compatibility.
The EAP 110 is supplied from the factory with standard alarm labeling for MEC 2* or MEC 20* engine controllers which
are applied to meet NFPA 110 Level 1/NFPA 99 or CSA 282 alarm requirements. The standard EAP 110 can be labeled and
programmed for alternate alarm configurations (consult Thomson Technology for further information). When specified, the
optional flush mount adapter plate is supplied loose with the standard Annunciator for field installation.
