A 'Plug & Chug' Transponder Board?

Yeah, We Got That!

RTC has developed a replacement transponder board for the Pyrotronics / Sentracon System.  These boards are a direct one for one replacement.  They will function with your present transponder boards installed.  The new transponder board (RTC PN 10-0032) monitors the field alarms and reports back to the Sentracon security system as the old transponder board had done.  The 10-0032 board uses analog to digital technology to monitor the field alarms. Status LED's are incorporated into the board to allow for fast troubleshooting  These LED’s provide visual alarm, system and microprocessor status.  An extra dry contact has been provided that closes for two seconds during an alarm or trouble condition.  Setting the board address is made even easier with berg jumpers.  RS-485 communications has been incorporated for future upgrades.  The board can communicate to the Sentracon system AND over a RS-485 network at the same time.  Ethernet communication is also available.

There are three bi-color LED’s located on the edge of the board.

LED 1: This LED provides the field alarm status.

	Green: Normal alarm condition.
	Red: The 10-0032 board is reporting an alarm to the system.
	Flashing Red: The 10-0032 board is reporting a trouble to the system.

LED2:  This LED will be green if the 10-0032 board is being addressed (polled) by the security system.  If the 10-0032 board is not being addressed the LED will turn red.

LED3:  This LED will flash green if the microprocessor located on the 10-0032 board is functioning correctly.  If the LED is not flashing green there is a problem with the 10-0032 board and it should be removed.  If RS-485 communication is utilized this LED will display RS-485 communication status.
