Limitations of the Alarm System or Device While your alarm system or device is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency. Any security product, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include: • Individuals may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device. • Mo

General Information Block Diagrams Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the base unit interfaces and functions. The EA800 provides eight relays for indicating when a programmed alarm limit has been exceeded or a warning condition exists. An additional AUX (Auxiliary) Output relay provides an output signal to an optional audible alarm or strobe that is activated whenever an alarm condition exists.

General Information Monitoring Screens The EA800 user interface is menu-based. During normal system monitoring, one of the following three screens is displayed depending on the current state of the programmed sensors: The MONITORING (home) screen is displayed when there are no active alarms. The screen lists all programmed sensors connected to the base unit and their current reading or state. The MONITORING (home) screen displays pending alarms in reverse video as shown in the example at r

Sensors Power Supply / Sensor Voltage Selection In order to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct full-scale operation, it is necessary to identify all voltage drops within the current loop. Figures 6 and 7 show an EA800 drop of 4.0 VDC. This value accounts for the voltage drop generated by connecting the 4-20mA sensor to the EA800 using 1000 feet of 22 AWG wire. Now it is only necessary to identify the operating voltage range of the 4-20mA sensor, more importantly th
