4603-9101 LCD ANNUNCIATOR

DESCRIPTION:
The Simplex 4603-9101 LCD annunciator provides
remote annunciation and control using an 80
character, back-lit, alphanumeric, LCD readout.
Information is presented in clear, descriptive English
language and includes: point status (alarm, trouble,
etc.), alarm type (smoke detector, manual station,
etc.), number of system alarms, supervisory
conditions, and troubles, and a custom location label.
Communications require a single twisted, shielded
pair that supports other styles of Simplex serial
annunciators on the same wire pair.
Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble conditions are also
indicated by dedicated LEDs and a tone-alert. Each
condition has a dedicated acknowledge push-button
switch that silences the tone-alert but leaves the LED
on until all conditions in that category are restored to
normal. Switch operation is either globally or
individually acknowledgeable, determined by the
control panel operation. Repeated operation of the
appropriate acknowledge switch will scroll the LCD
display showing activity in the sequence of
occurrence. The tone-alert also sounds to indicate
the operation of any of the push-button switches.

* ULC Listed model is 4603-9101C.

OPERATION:
Notification appliances can be deactivated by
pressing the ALARM SILENCE switch. Pressing
the SYSTEM RESET switch restores the system to
normal operation. When system activity is normal,
the LCD displays the time, date, and SYSTEM IS
NORMAL.

Four programmable CONTROL switches and

associated LEDs are included. Typical applications
include: manual evacuation, door holder release
bypass, elevator capture bypass, etc. All switches on
the annunciator are controlled by the ENABLE key
switch with a key that is removable only in the
disabled position.
