Remote Annunciators
Description
600 Series RAN2, RAN2-RC Models
The 600 Series remote annunciators (RAN2 and RAN2-
RC) provide remote display and control capabilities. Each
RAN device is connected to the main 600 Series Fire
Alarm Control Panel (FACP) via a serial communications
port. The RAN interprets the instructions from the main
FACP, initiating its own programmed response, and
retransmitting the instructions to the next device.
Gamewell-FCI 600 Series systems can accommodate up
to 64 devices connected to the serial communications port.
In addition to the Remote Annunciator (RAN2), these
devices include Serial Annunciator drives (SAN) and
Remote Printer Interfaces (RPI). These devices comprise
the Gamewell-FCI Status Control Network. Each device
contains its own microprocessor and can be programmed
independently. A network of devices can be programmed
directly from a single device, saving valuable installation
time.
The Remote Alphanumeric Display (RAN2) is fully super-
vised and has dual serial ports for network connection. The
RAN2 family displays the user text from the main system.
The remote control version (RAN2-RC) has seven
switches: Remote Acknowledge, Reset, Signal Silence,
Lamp Test, Display 1st Event, Display Next Event, Display
Previous Event.
The basic RAN2 has a scroll switch only. The scroll switch
is used to review multiple events on the system. The
remote control versions are provided with a seven-position
switch bank and eight LEDs for system annunciation. The
switches provide remote control of the connected system.
A key switch enables and disables the switches to prevent
unauthorized operation.
