Annunciator Alarm

• Alarm Handling: The annunciator is designed to handle a significant number of alarm conditions, capable of annunciate up to 60 such conditions. These alarms are latching, meaning they persist even if the initial alarm condition is momentary. Operators can clear these alarms by using a designated pushbutton on the panel.
• Annunciation: When an alarm condition is detected, the annunciator communicates this to operators through both audible and visual signals. An alarm may be annunciated by activating a bell and causing the associated lights to flash, creating a clear and immediate indication of an issue.
• Annunciator Components: Within the annunciator system, there are components referred to as "drops" that serve as alarm indicators. To manage multiple alarms efficiently, there's an architecture involving an annunciator master card (VANB) and up to 15 annunciator cards (VANA). Each VANA card can accommodate four circuits, allowing for a total of 60 drops. In a standard system, typically 40 drops are used.
• Operator Controls: The annunciator includes three operator pushbuttons, each serving a specific purpose:
  • LAMP TEST: This button is used to check for burned-out bulbs and ensure that lamp drivers are functioning correctly.
  • ALARM RESET: When pressed, this button silences the alarm bell and converts the flashing light to a steady state. Additionally, it enables another alarm to start flashing if necessary.
  • LAMP RESET: This button is used to clear the flashing light once the alarm condition has been resolved. An automatic lamp reset feature is also available for added convenience.
