SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

GeneralThe RTK 725C Series alarm annunciator is used to inform the operator that a

process has gone beyond set limits using visual and audible alarms.

The Annunciator is manufactured from universal cells, each 60mm x 60mm,which can be assembled in an array to provide the number of rows andcolumns required to suit individual panel designs. Each cell within theannunciator is able to contain either:- one large, two medium or four smallalarm windows and each window is illuminated by plug-in universal whiteLEDs assemblies providing a maintenance free solution, a reduction in powerconsumption and the units run at cooler temperatures.

Large, Medium & Sm all Window Sizes

Programmable FeaturesThe 725C is fully programmable allowing the user to enable or disable anumber of pre-defined features to suit individual application. A USBprogramming port is provided behind the pushbutton face plate which can beconnected via a USB port to a suitable laptop / PC running the RTK suppliedconfiguration software utility. Selection of features is on a per channel basiswith no special tools or programming knowledge required.

When the Annunciator is in the CAL mode the user can:-

Dynamically view the current status of all signal inputs.

Set the non alarm state of the alarm input to N/O or N/C on per channelbasis as described in later sections.

Please note the CB7028POP1 white LED assembly is factory fitted with thehalf circle in the top left hand corner as shown above. If it is inserted upsidedown, no damage will occur but the LED will not function. To remove the LEDassembly a pair of pin-nosed pliers can be used on the sides of the circuitboard to gently pull the assembly towards you. The number of LEDs requiredper window is governed by the window size.

Small window versions use a single LED assembly

Medium window versions use two LED assemblies Large window versions use four LED assemblies

Window ColoursEach channel is equipped with its own removable lens assembly, which,contains a coloured filter and a laser printed film legend. White is used instandard applications but coloured filters can be used as an alternative toprovide a clear indication of alarm type. For example Red can be used for tripalarms, amber for pre-alarms and green for status.

A choice of Six colours are available:- White, Red, Amber, Yellow, Green orBlue.

Pushbutton Module On standard systems the Pushbutton / Programming module is located in thebottom right hand corner of the Annunciator when viewed from the front.

Six Pushbuttons are available to allow the user to control all of the customerselectable ISA sequences and four green status LED bars are used to monitorlogic power, field contact power, watchdog and internal communicationsstates.


16/134


Page 16 of 134

The LEDs indicate

1. PWR = 24VDC logic power2. FC = Field contact power & contact loop resistance monitoring

3. COM = Communications4. WD = Watchdog

When 24VDC is initially applied to the unit the four green LED bars illuminatein sequence whilst the system starts and once the start up routine is completethe LEDs stay ON if all functions are fully operational.

Although the Pushbutton Module is normally integrally mounted it can besupplied as a stand alone item suitable for panel mounting, DIN-rail mountingor wall mounting. The remote pushbutton module can be connected to asingle or group of annunciators using RTK supplied ribbon cables to connectcommon signals.

If the pushbutton module is hinged down the user is able to access the USBprogramming port, dynamically view the status of the associated plant inputsor manually configure the alarm inputs for use with N/O or N/C contacts

USB Programming portThis port is used to view the current configuration or to update the settings ofthe 725C and full details of programming are provided in later sections of thismanual.


17/134


Page 17 of 134

Plant StatusIf the CAL switch shown above is placed into the ON position the LED bars onthe front of the pushbutton assembly flash in sequence to indicate that the unithas been placed in CAL mode.

Once placed into CAL mode each window on the 725C indicates the dynamicstatus of the associated plant inputs.

If the window is OFF the associated input is OPEN

If the window is ON the associated input is CLOSED

Please note: The OPEN and CLOSED indication refers to the customers fieldcontact and is not related to the non alarm normally open or closed state setin the annunciator.

Configuring Alarm Inputs for use with N/O or N/C field contactsWhen the CAL switch is placed in the ON position the function of the integralpushbuttons changes as detailed below.

Pushbutton Abbreviation Function in CAL ModeLamp Test CHDN Channel Down

Ack FDN Function DownMute SET SetReset SET SetSystem Test CHUP Channel UpFirst Reset FUP Function Up

These functions are indicated on the inside face of the pushbutton assemblyin the circles associated with each pushbutton. These abbreviations areshown for reference only the pushbutton must be used to activate eachfunction.

Select FunctionWhen the unit is first switched to CAL mode it will be in the contact monitoring

state. To change the mode to the set input state the First Reset, (functionUp), pushbutton must be pressed. This action is confirmed when the top lefthand window flashes to indicate that the 1st channel is in programming mode.

Navigating between channels:-The user is able to navigate to the required channel by pressing the SystemTest and Lamp Test Pushbutton.


18/134


Page 18 of 134

Setting the Non Alarm Input StateOnce the user has navigated to the required channel each time the Mute, orReset, pushbutton is pressed the input state is inverted from N/O to N/C.

If the status LED is OFF the channel is suitable for use with N/O

contacts.

If the status LED is ON the channel is suitable for use with N/Ccontacts.

CAUTION :- This information is only saved when the user navigates to anotherchannel (up or down). If the user places the CAL switch to the OFF positionwithout navigating to an adjacent channel the information will not be stored.

Remote Pushbutton Module As an alternative the 725B can be fully equipped with alarm windows and thePushbutton Module can be supplied as a remote item or the user can useconventional panel mounting momentary, N/O, pushbuttons to control theannunciator.

In these applications the common watchdog / relay, WR, card part noCB6641POP2 is equipped with a USB programming port which is located onthe underside of the associated cell. Full details are provided in section 2 ofthis manual

Each channel on the alarm card is provided with a 3 pin header and 2 wayshorting bar which allows the user to select the inputs to operate on either24VAC/DC or 125VAC/DC.

On standard 725C systems the 24VDC logic supply is linked as follows - OVand OVC and +V and +VC this provides a 24VDC signal contact supply on allC terminals as shown above.

LED F2 is used to indicate that the signal supply, (+VC), fuse has blown.

As all *C terminals are internally linked the customer can connect each inputcontact to a dedicated terminal as shown in the middle cell or a single feedcan be used for multiple contacts as shown in the right hand cell.

Inputs are bi-polar and therefore 24VAC or 24VDC can be used as a signalsupply however if 24VAC is required the link between the logic supply and thesignal supply must be removed and the 24VAC must be externally sourced.

The common return for all remote pushbuttons is +V (+24VDC)

The function of each relay can be set within the software allowing the relay tooperate as:-

Group Relay

Groups can be used within an Annunciator for alarms which need to be linkedto form first-up, common alarm or audible groups. Once groups have beendefined the functionality of each group can be set using the GROUPOPERATION settings within the software.

The following group operation settings are available:-

Input Follower RelayIn applications where common alarm groups are required the group operationcan be set to input. Any common relay can be linked to any input group toprovide a volt-free summary contact for customer use.

The common relay will activate when any alarm in the group is in theabnormal state and the relay will remain active until all inputs in the grouphave returned to normal.

Alarm Follower RelayIn applications where common alarm groups are required the group operationcan be set to alarm. Any common relay can be linked to any alarm groupwhich will provide a volt-free summary contact for customer use.

The common relay will activate when any alarm in the group is in theabnormal state and the relay will remain active until all inputs in the grouphave returned to normal and the alarm has been cleared using the relevantpushbuttons.

Audible Follower RelayChannels within the Annunciator can be software linked into groups which canbe used to drive either of the internal audible alarms or they can be linked toany of the common relays to provide a volt-free contact to drive externalaudible alarms.

The common relay will activate when an alarm occurs and will remain activeuntil the silence or acknowledge pushbutton is operated.

Pushbutton Follower Relay Any common relay can be set to follow the action of any of the pushbuttonfunctions. The group operation should be set to match the required functioni.e. if Lamp Test is selected the common relay contact will activate insympathy when the Lamp Test Pushbutton is pressed.

Diagnostic / Watchdog Relay Any common relay can be set to operate as diagnostic / watchdog relays toprovide a volt free contact for use with 3 rd party devices to indicate that a faulthas occurred within the annunciator.

WR1 TabThe WR1 Tab, (Watchdog / Relay), allows the user to assign any of thecommon relays for use as a Group, Pushbutton Follower or Fault Relays.

On standard 725C systems one 4 channel relay card is used to providecommon relays.

Relay 1 4 (Available on all standard systems) A drop-down menu is accessed using a left mouse click on the control buttonassociated with each Relay. This menu is used to assign define whether theRelay operates as a Group, Pushbutton Follower or Fault Relays.

In some applications users require more than 4 common relays, in theseinstances a single or multiple 4 channel relay cards can be used to expandthe system.

The WR1 Tab provides configuration for a maximum of 8 Relays.

Relay 1 to 8 (Relay 5 to 8 - Optional)In the example below one additional 4 Channel Relay card has been fitted,providing 8 Relays in total.

If more than 8 Relays are installed two WR* Tabs will be available toconfigure Relays 9 onwards, as shown in the following typical examples.
