10.1 Remote Alarm Monitor
The Remote Alarm Monitor (RAM) Board can be used in conjunction with the AS400
Alarms Interface Board to display the UPS alarm and status information at a remote
station to 100 meters from the UPS.
The RAM, which can be mounted either horizontally or vertically contains a mains-
driven power supply for alarm LED annunciation and displays the following warnings:

When lit, it indicates that the load is being fed from the bypass supply, possibly due
to a UPS failure.

Table A
An audible warning accompanies any of the above alarm conditions. This is, however,
subject to a short time delay when activated in conjunction with the 'Utility Failure' and
'Bypass ON' alarms, to prevent the warning being activated by transient conditions.
Pressing the 'reset' push-button cancels the audible warning but the alarm indications
remain until the conditions is rectified.
10.1.1 RAM Connections
Power Supply
The RAM contains a single-phase 220-240 V AC mains-driven power supply. Power is
applied through a standard three-pin mains connector located in the RAM back panel
(plug provided) -use 3-core 0.5 mm cable (minimum). The supply is rated at
approximately 4 Watts and fused at 1 A.
It is advised that the power supply is taken from the UPS output, otherwise in the
event of a mains failure the RAM may be inoperative.
Alarm connections
A 9 pin D-type connector with solder points is provided with the RAM. This connector
fits into the 9 pin socket on the back of the RAM and should be cabled to the Interface
Board # 10020112003 fitted to the UPS, using 9 core, 0.22 mm. (minimum) shielded
cable as shown. The maximum recommended distance is 100 meters.
Note: Operation of the RAM indicators, is achieved by feeding a voltage across the module Alarm
Board relay contacts. No other connections should be made across the relay contacts used.
