ANNUNCIATOR DESCRIPTION
The remote annunciator is available in the following versions:
0G5719 - Remote Annunciator has both relays and LEDs/
Keypad (RRP & RAP)
0G5720 - RRP version - Remote Relay Panel (Relays with no
LEDs/Keypad)
0G5721 - RAP version - Remote Annunciator Panel (LED's/
Keypad without relays J1 - J8)
The Remote Annunciator provides remote monitoring and annun-
ciation of up to 18 generator parameters using the lights/LEDs
located on the annunciator keypad. Selected generator parameters
can be annunciated using the eight Form A relays provided on
0G5719 and 0G5720.
The Remote Annunciator also provides two system-level warn-
ings which are System Ready and Communications OK. Multiple
annunciators can also be connected to obtain remote monitor-
ing and annunciation of all 18 generator parameters. Power to
the remote annunciator is supplied from the generator battery
(+12VDC or +24VDC).
Communication with the Remote Annunciator is via a RS485 serial
data link. The remote annunciator is typically configured for listen
only mode (also called slave or passive mode). In this operat-
ing mode, the annunciator receives information on the generator
status, from the generator controller and activates/deactivates the
relay outputs to reflect the status of up to eight selected generator
parameters. The remote annunciator can also be configured to
request status information from the generator (called master or
active mode).
The specific faults to be annunciated using the relay outputs (J1
- J8) can be selected using either the DIP switches located on the
annunciator printed circuit board, or the Graphical User Interface
(GUI) available using a computer via the RS232 connector on the
annunciator printed circuit board (see Figure 2).
Relays J1 - J8 provides a set of normally open contacts. All relays
are energized (contacts closed) when power is applied to the
annunciator. The relay selected to annunciate a particular fault will
then open during a fault.
The terminal block connections (J10), used to connect the battery
supply and the RS485 communication lines to the remote annun-
ciator are shown in Figure 1. The location of DIP switches S1, S2,
S3 and S4 and the RS232 connector are shown in Figure 2.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
NOTE:
3. For ALL models installation must always comply with
applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere
strictly to local, state and national electrical and building
codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also,
the generator and related components must be installed
completely in conformance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and recommendations. Following proper installation,
do nothing that might alter a safe installation and render the
unit in non-compliance with such codes, standards, laws and
regulations.
4. The plastic knockout that is used to route the wires and
cables into the annunciator should be removed with the
annunciator firmly supported by placing it on a flat surface.
5. Wire tie-downs are provided in two places on the base of the
annunciator to provide strain-relief for the connecting cables
and wires (Figure 3).
RELAY ANNUNCIATION (J1 - J8)
The user can select up to eight of the following 18 generator
parameters to annunciate via the relays, when the 10 position (S1)
and the 8 position (S2) DIP switches on the annunciator PCB are

PARAMETER "GENERATOR RUN"
This parameter is defined as any one or more generators in the
system running.
PARAMETER "GENERATOR POWER"
This light/LED indicates different things depending on the type of
system it is attached to.
It is defined as whether the Transfer Switch is in the Generator Supply Position.
For a PowerManager System Controller (PM-SC with external transfer switch(es)), generator power is defined as any one or
more generators in the system running and connected to the
generator bus.
For a non-paralleling engine controller (PM-GC • WITHOUT inter-
nal transfer switch), it represents the status of input 4 (TB2-5)
to the generator controller. This should be connected to the gen-
erator side auxiliary contact of the external transfer switch. A
closure to ground will cause the light to illuminate. This shows
whether the load is powered by the generator.
For an engine controller that is part of an MPS system, genera- tor power represents the state of the internal contactor that the
generator is connected to.
PARAMETER "LINE POWER"
This light/LED indicates different things depending on the type of
system it is attached to.
Is defined as whether the Transfer Switch is in the Utility Supply Position.
For a Power Manager System Controller (PM-SC with external transfer switch(es)), line power represents the auxiliary input
C (TB6-4).
For a non-paralleling engine controller (PM-GC WITHOUT inter- nal transfer switch), it represents the status of input 3 (TB2-4)
to the generator controller. This should be connected to the
utility side auxiliary contact of the external transfer switch. A
closure to ground will cause the light to turn ON. This shows
whether the load is power by the utility.
For an engine controller that is part of an MPS system, line power is not used.
PARAMETER “BATTERY CHARGER AC FAILURE”
This light/LED annunciates upon loss of 120VAC power supply to
the battery charger and is communicated to the Annunciator by the
generator controller.
GENERATOR STOP INDICATORS
These lights/LEDs will flash when any alarm occurs and the horn
will sound as follows:
Annunciator Light Light Color Audible Alarm
RPM Sensor Loss Red Yes
Overcrank Red Yes
Overspeed Red Yes
Low Oil Pressure Red Yes
High Water Temp Red Yes
Low Water Level Red Yes
Emergency Stop Red Yes
NOTE:
7. Both the High Water Temp and the Low Water Level LEDs will
turn ON if either fault condition is present.
The "Re-arm Horn" switch can be used to turn off and re-arm the
horn, or the alarms can be fully acknowledged using the "Reset"
switch.
The "Reset" switch will turn off and re-arm the horn, and any flash-
ing lights will switch to the ON state until the alarms are no longer
present at the generator control panel.
NOTE:
8. The alarm condition must be reset at the generator control
panel.
9. When this annunciator is used in a Modular Power System
(MPS), an alarm on any one of the generators will cause the
lights/LEDs to light, and alarms to sound.
WARNING INDICATORS
These lights/LEDs will flash when any alarm occurs and the horn
will sound according to the following table:
Annunciator Light Light Color Audible
Alarm Latched
Pre-low Oil Pressure Yellow Yes Yes
Pre-high Water Temp Yellow Yes Yes
Pre-low Water Temp Yellow Yes Yes
Pre-low Fuel Yellow Yes Yes
Battery Charger AC
Failure Yellow Yes No
Low Battery Voltage Yellow Yes No
High Battery Voltage Yellow No No
Generator Run Yellow No No
Generator Power Yellow No No
Not in Auto Red Yes No
Remote Annunciator
These alarms will be latched/not latched by the annunciator
according to the above table. They can be acknowledged at the
annunciator using the ‘Reset' switch—the active lamps will then
stop flashing and remain in the ON state until the alarm signal
clears from the generator control panel. The "Reset" switch will
also turn off and re-arm the horn.
NOTE:
10. These lights can only be fully reset when the alarm state
is no longer active and “Reset” has been pressed at both
the generator control panel and the remote annunciator.
Alternatively, at any time the horn can be turned OFF and
re-armed with the "Re-Arm Horn" switch.
11. When this annunciator is used in a Modular Power System
(MPS), a warning on any one of the generators will cause
the above lights to light, and alarm to sound (if the warning
is audible).
SPARE INDICATOR
The spare indicator light/LED can be activated from the PM-GC or
PM-SC by using the Integrated Logic Controller (ILC) feature in the
G-panel or H-panel. Also see the section in this manual describing
the operation and set-up of the spare keypad switch.
Annunciator Light Light Color Audible Alarm
System Ready Green Yes
Communication OK Green Yes
Line Power Green No
Spare Green No
SYSTEM STATUS INDICATORS
These lights/LEDs are for Status indication only—the normal
condition is ON.
SYSTEM READY
The System Ready is defined as ALL “in service” generators are
ready to start, run, and supply power. Any generators manually
declared as “out of service” will not affect this LED.
Upon a loss of System Ready, the annunciator will respond as
follows:
1. The System Ready LED will begin to flash.
2. The alarm will sound.
The “Re-arm Horn” switch can be used to turn off and re-arm
the horn, or the alarm can be fully acknowledged using the reset
switch at which time the System Ready LED will turn off and
remain off until the System Ready status is returned.
COMMUNICATION OK
This LED will be ON as long as there is proper communication
between the Remote Annunciator Panel and the Generator control
system. It typically requires less than a minute for the Annunciator
to determine the correct baud rate and connect to the RS485
bus.
When communication failure occurs, the Annunciator will flash the
communication LED, and sound the horn. The rate of flashing will
be indicative of the cause of error.
1. No reply from the generator control system, Frequency = one
second ON/one second OFF
2. Consecutive data errors, Frequency = 0.5 second ON/two
seconds OFF.
This alarm condition can be acknowledged at the Annunciator
using the “reset” switch - the horn will be turned off and re-armed,
and the communication OK light will continue to flash until proper
communication returns.
GREEN STATUS LED (INTERNAL TO UNIT)
If the green LED is flashing at a one second on and one sec- ond off rate, the unit is operational and is configured from the
Windows Graphical User Interface.
If the green LED is flashing at a one second off and five seconds on rate, the unit is operational and is configured from the DIP
switches.
If the green LED is flashing at a half second on and five seconds off rate, the unit is operational but there are no RS485 com-
munications.
If the unit is powered for 30 seconds and the Green Status LED does not turn on at all during this time, the circuit board is not
functional.
SYSTEM KEYPAD SWITCHES
TEST SWITCH
While the test switch is pressed, all lights/LEDs will light and the
horn will sound. When released the lights/LEDs will return to their
original status. During this test, communication to the generator
control system will be suspended.
RE-ARM HORN SWITCH
The re-arm horn switch will silence the alarm horn and re-arm it
for new alarm occurrences.
RESET SWITCH
The reset switch is used to acknowledge any active alarms. It will
re-set any flashing light/LED’s to a ON (steady) condition (or OFF
for normally on lights). If the alarm no longer exists and it has also
been latched OFF at the generator control panel (pre-alarm indica-
tors only) the active light will go OFF. It will also silence the horn
and re-arm it for new occurrences.
5
Remote Annunciator
NOTE:
12. Pre-alarm conditions MUST be reset at the generator set
control panel.
SPARE KEYPAD SWITCH
When DIP Switch S3, Position 4, is in the ON position, it allows the
SPARE Keypad Switch to control Relay 8. When this DIP switch is
in the ON position, pushing the SPARE keypad Switch will energize
Relay 8 and turn on the spare light/LED on the keypad. Pushing
the SPARE keypad Switch again will de-energize Relay 8 and turn
off the spare light/LED. NOTE:
13. The Remote Start capability using the Spare Keypad Switch
and Relay 8 is only available when Remote Annunciator
version P/N 0G5719 is used.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) OR DIP SWITCHES ENABLED - DIP SWITCH S3-1
When Position 1 is in the ON position the Graphical User Interface
(GUI) must be used to set the relay fault conditions. When Position
1 is in the OFF position the DIP switches on the Annunciator con-
trol board must be used to set the relay fault conditions.
MASTER/SLAVE MODE - DIP SWITCH S3-3
Position 3 is used to configure the Annunciator as either a Slave
(OFF position) or as a Master (ON position). In Slave mode, it is
a Modbus slave and must be connected to a master port on the
PM-GC or PM-SC. This method allows for the connection of more
than one Annunciator. In Master mode, the Annunciator is the
Modbus master and will request data from the PM-GC or PM-SC.
The PM-GC or PM-SC must be set as a slave port when the
Annunciator is configured as the Master (Figures 10 and 11).

SPARE KEYPAD SWITCH - DIP SWITCH S3-4
Position 4, when it is in the ON position, it allows the SPARE
Keypad Switch to control Relay 8. When this DIP switch is in
the ON position, pushing the SPARE keypad Switch will energize
Relay 8 and turn on the spare LED on the keypad. Pushing the
SPARE keypad Switch again will de-energize Relay 8 and turn off
the SPARE LED. This feature can be used to implement a Remote
Start function. This Remote Start feature is only available with the
Remote Annunciator version (0G5719) that has both the Relays
and the Keypad.
BAUD RATE SELECTION (DIP SWITCH S4)
DIP Switch S4 can be used to set the Communications Baud Rate
to a pre-determined value (see table).
S4-1 S4-2 Baud Rate
OFF OFF Auto-Baud Rate detect (max rate is 57600)
OFF ON 38400
ON OFF 9600
ON ON 4800
6
Remote Annunciator
7
ALARM RELAY (J9)
The Annunciator provides a relay with both a Normally Open con-
tact and a Normally Closed contact. This relay is energized when
DC power is provided to the Annunciator so that in the event power
to the Annunciator fails the relay contacts will change state. When
the Audible alarm is activated this relay will be de-energized.
RS485 LINE TERMINATION RESISTOR
A 1000 ohm RS485 terminating resistor is installed on the Remote
Annunciator PC board via a 3-position jumper (JMP1 in Figure 2).
In most applications this 1000 ohm terminating resistor is con-
nected and the jumper (JMP1) is in the closed or 1-2 position. This
jumper can also be moved to the open or 2-3 position.
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)
A DB9 connector is provided on the Annunciator Control Board for
use in setting the Annunciator functions. A GenLink serial cable
(P/N 0F7707) should be used to connect a laptop computer’s
RS232 serial port to the Annunciator DB9 connector. The GenLink
cable is a Null-Modem style serial cable with female-to-female
DB9 connectors.
Shown in Figure 12 is a typical Windows GUI interface as it
appears on the computer display.
RS485 COMMUNICATIONS
In a typical application, the Annunciator monitors (i.e. slave mode)
the Generator control system via the RS485 communication line.
SERIAL INTERFACE
Baud Rate Auto-Detect 57.6K, 38.4K, 9600
or 4800 (No Parity, 2 Stop Bits)
COMMUNICATIONS CONNECT TIME
When an Annunciator is powered up onto an existing RS485
network, there will be a period of time, during which the unit may
report a “communication failure”. During this time the Annunciator
is searching for the correct Baud rate. The Annunciator will typi-
cally communicate within one minute after being connected.
Remote Annunciator
Figure 12 — Annunciator GUI Interface Display

Remote Annunciator
ERROR HANDLING
An error will be reported by flashing the Communication OK light—
the rate of flashing will be indicative of the cause of the error.
1. No reply from generator control system—frequency one sec-
ond on/one second off.
2. Consecutive data errors—frequency 0.5 seconds on/two sec-
onds off.
The Annunciator, if configured for auto-baud rate detect, will try
several times at each of four different baud rates (57.6K, 38.4K,
9600 and 4800) before reporting a communication error by de-
energizing all the relays and then flashing the Communication OK
light.
LIMITS OF OPERATION
The following communication restrictions apply for multiple units
on a common RS485 line:
A maximum of 15, 1000 ohm RS485 Loads (i.e. 57.6K Annunciator, G-panel, H-panels, etc) can be connected to the
RS485 bus at one time. NOTE:
14. There MUST be only ONE (1) master in the RS485 com-
munication bus. All others must be slaves (PASSIVE).
