INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Model FS-RA-C
REMOTE LED ANNUNCIATOR
The FS-RA-C Remote LED Annunciator is an optional accessory for the FS-250C Fire Alarm System
Control Panel. The FS-RA-C provides alarm, trouble and supervisory annunciation for up to 20 zones and
4 NAC circuits along with seven system status LEDs. The enable keyswitch allows system reset, trouble
silence/acknowledge and alarm silence. The lamp test operation is also enabled by the keyswitch, but the
function is limited to the annunciator. The annunciator mounts to a horizontally mounted 6-gang box, 2”
deep minimum. The RD-CAB-C may be used for surface mounting. Up to fifteen FS-RA-Cs or FS-RD2-Cs
may be connected to the system.

Notes:
1.) Units to be installed in accordance with all local
codes.
2.) T-Tapping is not allowed! Communication wiring
must be daisy chained from remote to remote.
3.) Terminal block will accept a maximum of 12 AWG
wiring and minimum of 18 AWG.
4.) Use twisted pair cable with a characteristic
impedance of approximately 120 ohms. 4000 feet
maximum distance from panel to last remote.
Cable for power (+ & -)
and twisted pair cable for
data (X+ & X-) from panel
or previous remote and to
next remote or 120 ohm
termination resistor on the
last remote.
The FS-250C control panel
can supply enough current
to support up to one FS-
RA-C. If more than one is
required, power may be
supplied by a PAD-3 or
other ULC listed 24V
power supply. Refer to FS-
250C System Power
Requirements section of
FS-250C Manual, P/N
315-049589C.
