Liquid Crystal Display

Annunciator Control Systems

DN-6940:B1 • D-115

General

The LCD-160 is a 640-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

annunciator and remote control for the NOTIFIER NFS-3030/

NFS2-3030 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The LCD-160

will mimic the top portion (160 characters) of the NFS-3030/

NFS2-3030’s 640-character display. This provides the event

and preprogrammed custom messages as displayed on the

main panel. The full screen contains soft key functions, and

can display other panel information.

LCD-160 Features

• 640-character Liquid Crystal Display with backlit control.

• On-board input, output, and status indicators to support

diagnostics.

• Software upgrades and foreign-languages character sets

via serial port from a panel or other device using the

Remote Data Port (RDP) interface. Upgrades do not require

the replacement of any programmable devices.

• Rubberized keypad.

• Input for AKS-1B key switch.

• Fits in two ACS annunciator module locations.

• Display and Control Center (DCC) participation/indication.

RDP Interface

Any communication between the control panel and any RDP

device, such as the LCD-160, occurs over an RDP interface.

• RDP interface communication is supervised by the FACP

and the LCD-160.

• RDP bus can drive up to 32 RDP devices. The FACP must

be at one end of the bus; the last RDP device on the circuit

must have an enabled end-of-line resistor.

• Each LCD-160 on the bus requires a non-resettable 24

VDC power connection. The power circuit is inherently

supervised and a loss of power registers as a communica-

tion failure at the control panel.

• The LCD-160 can be powered by a regulated remote power

supply listed for fire-protective signaling use. If the 24 VDC

power comes from a non-power-limited source, it must

remain separate from the power-limited RDP bus.

Specifications

Input supply voltage (TB2): Regulated, filtered 24 VDC via

non-resettable power supply interface listed for fire-protective

signaling use. Sources can be: panels with integrated power

supplies, main power supplies (AMPS-24, etc.), auxiliary

power supplies (APS2-6R, etc.); or a compatible accessories

output. If RDP devices are to be powered by separate power

supplies, a common reference connection must be estab-

lished.

Data communications port (TB1): Power-limited RDP inter-

face.

Current draw: Standby current: 0.300 A with backlight on,

0.075 A with backlight off. Alarm current: 0.325 A with back-

light on, all LEDs active.

RDP BUS WIRING SPECIFICATIONS

Wiring distance: 4000 feet (1219.2 m) at 18 AWG (0.78 mm²)

between the panel and the last device on the RDP bus (sub-

ject to system’s power restrictions).

Wiring size: 18 to 12 AWG (0.78 to 3.1 mm²) twisted-pair

cable, with characteristic impedance of 120 ohms ± 20%.

Wire resistance: Limit total wire resistance to 100 ohms on

the RDP bus, and 10 ohms on the RDP device power circuit.

Unloaded resistance between RDP connectors must be

greater than 1K ohm. A remote power supply is required if total

power wiring resistance exceeds 10 ohms.

NOTE: 1) DO NOT RUN CABLE adjacent to, or in the same con-

duit as: 120 VAC service; “noisy” electrical circuits that are power-

ing mechanical bells or horns; audio circuits above 25 Vrms; motor

control circuits; SCR power circuits; or non-power-limited circuits.

2) Refer to LCD-160 Manual, document no. 51850, if RDP devices

are to be mounted in SEPARATE CABINETS or powered by

REMOTE POWER SUPPLIES.

PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Temperature/humidity range: This system meets NFPA

requirements for operation at 0 – 49°C/32 – 120°F and at a

relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ±

2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's

standby batteries and the electronic components may be

adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humid-

ity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its

peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room

temperature of 15 – 27°C/60 – 80°F.

Shipping weight: 2.50 lb. (1.134 kg)
