Owner’s Manual
Annunciators
General
The N-ANN-80 annunciator is a compact, backlit, 80-character LCD fire
annunciator that mimics the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) display. It
provides system status indicators for AC Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory,
and Alarm Silenced conditions. The N-ANN-80 and the FACP communicate over a
two wire serial interface employing the ANN-BUS communication format.
Connected devices are powered, via two additional wires, by either the host
FACP or a remote UL-listed, filtered power supply. N-ANN-80 is black; for
white order N-ANN-80-W.
The N-ANN-80 displays English-language text of system point information
including device type, zone, independent point alarm, trouble or supervisory
status, as well as any custom alpha labels programmed into the control panel.
It includes control switches for remote control of critical system functions.
(A keyswitch prevents unauthorized operation of the control switches.)
Up to eight N-ANN-80s may be connected to the ANN-BUS of each FACP. Minimal
programming is required, which saves time during system commissioning. The
N-ANN-80 is compatible with NOTIFIER FACPs with an ANN-BUS, such as the
NFW-50.
Features
- Listed to UL Standard 864, 9th Edition.
- Backlit 80-character LCD display (20 characters x 4 lines).
- Mimics all display information from the host panel.
- Control switches for System Acknowledge, Signal Silence, Drill, and Reset.
- Control switches can be independently enabled or disabled at the FACP.
- Keyswitch enables/disables control switches and mechanically locks annunciator enclosure
- Keyswitch can be enabled or disabled at the FACP.
- Enclosure supervised for tamper.
- System status LEDs for AC Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory, and Alarm Silence.
- Local sounder can be enabled or disabled at the FACP.
- N-ANN-80 connects to the ANN-BUS terminal on the FACP and requires minimal panel programming.
- Displays device type identifiers, individual point alarm, trouble, supervisory, zone, and custom alpha labels.
- Time-and date display field.
- Surface mount directly to wall or to single, double, or 4″ square electrical box.
- Semi-flush mount to single, double, or 4″ square electrical box. Use ANN-SB80KIT for angled view mounting.
- Can be remotely located up to 6,000 feet (1,800 m) from the panel.
- Backlight turns off during AC loss to conserve battery power but will turn back on if an alarm condition occurs.
- May be powered by 24 VDC from the host FACP or by remote power supply (requires 24 VDC).
- Up to eight N-ANN-80s can be connected on the ANN-BUS.

The ANN-BUS
POWERING THE DEVICES ON THE ANN-BUS FROM AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY
The ANN-BUS can be powered by an auxiliary power supply when the maximum
number of ANN-BUS devices exceeds the ANN-BUS power requirements. See the FACP
manual for more information.
ANN-BUS DEVICE ADDRESSING
Each ANN-BUS device requires a unique address (ID Number) in order to
communicate with the FACP. A maximum of 8 devices can be connected to the FACP
ANN-BUS communication circuit. See the FACP manual for more information. WIRE
REQUIREMENTS: COMMUNICATIONS CIRCUIT The N-ANN-80 connects to the FACP ANN-BUS
communications circuit. To determine the type of wire and the maximum wiring
distance that can be used with FACP ANN-BUS accessory modules, it is necessary
to calculate the total worst case current draw for all modules on a single
4-conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding the
individual worst case currents for each module.
NOTE: For total worst case current draw on a single ANN-BUS refer to
appropriate FACP manual.
After calculating the total worst case current draw, the following table
specifies the maximum distance the modules can be located from the FACP on a
single wire run. The table ensures 6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general,
the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier wire gauges,
capacitance is the limiting factor.
These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can
never be more than 6,000 feet (1,800 m), regardless of gauge used. See table
below.
WIRE REQUIREMENTS: POWER CIRCUIT
- 14 to 18 AWG (0.75 – 2.08 mm²) wire for 24 VDC power circuit is acceptable.
- All connections are power-limited and supervised.
- A maximum of eight N-ANN-80 modules may be connected to this circuit.
