When the power feed is on, the POWER LED at the top of the
URA interface unit circuit board will glow green and the AC
POWER ON annunciator indicator will glow if the BDA has AC
power.
9. Replace Cover
After operation has been fully veried (refer to all sections in
Remote Annunciator Operation below), securely re-install the
cover on the Interface Unit with the four Phillips head screws.
Remote Annunciator Operaon
1. Unit Status LEDs
Inside the URA interface unit at the top of the circuit board are
three Unit Status LEDs labeled COMM FAILURE, MUTE, and
POWER.
The COMM FAILURE LED:
ºBlinks once (in a recurring pattern) when communica-
tions via port RA-1 are lost.
ºBlinks twice (recurring) when communications via port
RA-2 are lost.
ºRemains on when the second remote annunciator is en-
abled (Switch #1 is set to ON) and communications via ports
1 and 2 are lost.
The MUTE LED:
º Blinks when the mute button has been pushed briey
and the remote annunciator audible alarms are silenced.
ºRemains on when the mute button has been held down
long enough to permanently mute the annunciators.
The POWER LED:
ºRemains on when the URA Interface Unit power is on.
ºBlinks quickly when the mute button is pressed and held
longenoughto permanently mutetheremote annunciator(s).
2. The Mute Buon
The MUTE BUTTON is near the top center of the URA interface
unit circuit board between the Unit Status LEDs and the twin
RJ-45 ports. This pushbutton silences the audible alarm in each
remote annunciator which sounds whenever there is an alarm
condition. The muting behavior is as follows:
ºPress the MUTE button briey to temporarily mute the
audible alarm(s) for 24 hours. The MUTE LED will blink and
the alarms will remain silenced until:
• The MUTE button is pressed again,
• Another alarm condition occurs, or
• 24 hours pass
ºTo permanently mute audible alarm(s), press and hold
the MUTE button until the POWER LED ashes quickly. In
the permanently muted state:
• the MUTE LED remains on,
5. Connect Remote Annunciator Cables
Connect a CAT5 or CAT6 cable long enough to reach the
Remote Annunciator xture in the Fire Control room (or other
desired location) to the URA interface unit’s RJ45 port labeled
RA-1 (see Figure 2). If a second Remote Annunciator will be
used, connect a second cable to the RJ45 port labeled RA-2.
Route each cable out the 1/2” conduit tting in the center of the
interface unit oor.
6. Connect DC Power
WARNING: Turn off the power feed before
connecting wires.
Use a small slotted screwdriver to connect
reliably grounded -48 or +24VDC power feed
wires to the URA unit interface DC power
input on the lower left side of the circuit board. Ba careful to
observe polarity.
7. Mount Remote Annunciator
Follow these steps for each Remote Annunciator installation:
A. Install a standard wall-mounted 2-gang electrical junc-
tion box at the desired visible location for the remote
annunciator.
B. Install standard CAT5 or CAT6 cable in conduit between
the URA interface unit and the junction box.
• If only a single remote annunciator is being installed,
connect to the URA interface unit port RA-1.
• If a second remote annunciator location is desired, con-
nect the second annunciator to URA interface unit port
2 and enable fault monitoring for port 2 with the RA-2
enable switch. See Section 3: RA-2 Enable Switch in the Re-
mote Annunciator Operation section on Page 4.
C. To install the annunciator, remove the two screws lo-
cated on each side of the annunciator to loosen the
mounting bracket. Mount the bracket to the front of the
junction box.
D. Connect the cable to the port on the
back of the annunciator, as shown at
right.
E. Mount the annunciator to the base
and secure it with the two screws re-
moved in step 7C.
8. Power Up the Remote Annunciator
Before power is applied to the newly installed remote
annunciator(s), make sure that:
• All preceding installation steps are complete.
• All debris, tools, and installation materials have been moved
safely away from components.
• All connections have passed informal eld inspection.
To power up the remote annunciator(s), reconnect/turn on the
-48 or +24VDC power supply installed in Step 6.
