Mircom RA-1000 Series Remote Multiplex Annunciators
Description
Mircom’s modular RA-1000 Series Remote Annunciators are multiplex annunciator
panels that provide a large capacity of annunciation with the Mircom Fire
Alarm Control Panels. The RA-1000 Series is comprised of three chassis models.
The RAM-1032TZDS Main Annunciator Chassis consists of sealed membrane-like
buttons and LED indicators. Complete with Common Control Features and
Indicators, the RAM-1032TZDS Main Annunciator Chassis provides up to 32 points
of annunciation and can be expanded with up to four RAX adder annunciator
chassis modules. Defined via DIP switches, the RA-1000 Remote Annunciators are
automatically configured to match the Fire Alarm Control Panel configuration.
The RAX-1048TZDS Adder Annunciator Chassis has the same basic construction as
the Main Annunciator Chassis and can provide up to 48 points of annunciation.
It interconnects to either a RAM-1032TZDS Main Annunciator or a RAX-1048TZDS
Adder Annunciator Chassis. Up to four RAX-1048TZDS Adder Annunciator Chassis’
can be connected to one RAM-1032TZDS. The annunciators come standard with Bi-
coloured LEDs to annunciate Alarm or Supervisory points. Each display point
