FUNCIONALITY
The remote annunciator module has 17
LED’s alarm indicators. It allows free
allocation of each LED to an alarm
through software or through the control
panel display (family CEx7).
Each RAM7 LED will flash whenever the
alarm associated with that LED is in an
active state. Each LED will remain lit if
the alarm associated is an active state
pending operator acknowledgment.
Each LED will remain fixed and inactive
(no Light) if the alarm associated with
that LED is in an inactive state.

The RAM7 buzzer initiates an audible
alarm whenever there is an active alarm
pending operator acknowledgment.
The orange Link Lost LED indicates
communication failure with the main
control panel.
The remote annunciator module panel
comes with a set of printed and die-cut
labels of all alarms available in the main
control panel, for insertion into the
