EXAU-A overview

EXAU-A

1 EXAU-A overview
Main functions of EXAU-A The DX200 and IPA2800 network elements can be equipped with an external alarm unit to make the alarm monitoring more efficient. The External Alarm Unit (EXAU-A) is a small device controlled by the HWAT-A plug-in unit in the DX200 network elements of M98 mechanics, and the EHAT plug-in unit in the IPA2800 network elements. The EXAU-A indicates alarms from the network element with indicator LEDs and a buzzer. Normally the EXAU-As are mounted on the wall of the control room. They are easy to install to all common wall materials. The power supply and alarms cables can enter the unit from above or below the EXAU-A case, or from the upper or lower side as shown in figure below.

Table 1

Cabling interfaces for EXAU-A In the DX200 M98 mechanics, the transmitter circuit of the HWAT-A is a constant current generator, which provides a 24 mA current when the voltage at the output is below +3 V. The voltage at the output depends on the size of the load connected to the output and the voltage at the other end of the load (range of variation is +5...-75 V). In the IPA2800 mechanics, the transmitter circuit of the EHAT is a constant current generator, which provides a 20 mA current when the voltage at the output is below +3 V. The voltage at the output depends on the size of the load connected to the output and the voltage at the other end of the load. The EXAU-A also has a second D25 connector, which makes it possible to chain several EXAU-A units, so that the alarms can be displayed on more than one unit. Dimensions of the EXAU-A unit are 153 mm (W) x 212 mm (H) x 53 mm(D). The indicator LEDs have no printed markings, but the user can write the alarm identifications on the face of the EXAU-A.

Dimensions and installation options of the EXAU-A

Operating environment of EXAU The EXAU-A is connected by an interconnection cable (for example, CNDC) directly to the alarm panel of the network element concerned or via a crossconnection (DDF) to the alarm panel of the network element concerned. The second D25 connector of the EXAU-A can be used to chain several EXAUA units together. This makes it possible to display the alarms on more than one unit. The operating voltage (-48 V) is connected by separate cable to a terminal block on the EXAU-A component board.

EXAU-A structure

2 EXAU-A structure
Mechanical structure of EXAU-A The EXAU-A panel consists of a base assembly and a cover assembly with a component board attached to it with three attachment pins. The component board accommodates also the power supply and alarm connectors. Functionally, the EXAU-A panel consists of the following blocks: component board (PCB) connected to the cover base frame for mounting on the wall alarm inputs, D25 connector on component board alarm output, D25 connector on component board six indicator LEDs connected to component board buzzer mounted on component board Test, Buzzer Reset and Silent Mode buttons connected to component board Silent Mode and Power On LEDs on the component board power supply (-48 V).

EXAU-A operation

EXAU-A

3 EXAU-A operation
Principles of operation The control section consists of D-type flip-flops and other CMOS logic. The alarm inputs have been optoisolated of the controlling logic. In normal state, the alarm inputs are open. Darlington transistor array is used for driving the LEDs. Alarms that activate the buzzer can be selected with DIP switch SW1. The buzzer, like the indicator LEDs, are connected to six alarm inputs. The buzzer can be switched off by the silent mode button. The test cutton is used to test the operation of the indicator LEDs and the buzzer. Power (-48V DC) is supplied via a protective switch SW2 and fuse F1. When the cover assembly is opened, the power supply to the EXAU-A unit disconnected. LEDs The EXAU-A houses six alarm indicator LEDs on the front panel. Each alarm signal (AL00-AL05) has an indicator LED. User can select with a DIP switch which alarms activate the buzzer.

Indicator LEDs on front panel.

A buzzer is connected to indicator LEDs. The user can select with a DIP switch on the component board those alarms which should activate the buzzer. There is also a Buzzer Reset button for the buzzer. The Buzzer Reset turns off the buzzer, but the buzzer turns back on when a new alarm signal arrives. The buzzer is set ON for all alarms by default. With the BUZZER SELECT jumpers on Switch SW1 the user can set the buzzer for each alarm (AL00 - AL05) ON or OFF.

Silent Mode button The EXAU-A front panel accommodates a button for Silent Mode setting. By pressing the Silent Mode button to down position the user can turn off the buzzer altogether. When the Silent Mode is on, the yellow indicator LED on the front panel will be lit.

4 Chaining EXAU-A units

The EXAU-A unit has an alarm output connector, which makes it possible to chain EXAU-A units so that any alarms can be displayed on two or more EXAU-A units. Displaying the same alarms on two EXAU-A units The incoming alarms can be connected directly to the alarm output connector, which is then connected to another EXAU-A unit with a direct cable. This way the alarms displayed on EXAU-A 1 can also be displayed on the EXAU-A 2 unit. Note that the direct cable is not included in the EXAU-A delivery.

Displaying alarms from AL00 to AL05 on EXAU-A 1 and alarms AL06 to AL11 on EXAU-A 2 By connecting two EXAU-A units with a crossover cable that connects alarms from AL00 to AL05 from EXAU-A 1 to alarm connectors AL06 to AL11 on EXAU-A 2, it is possible to display twelve different alarms on two EXAU-A units. When the units are connected in this manner, alarms from AL00 to AL05 will be displayed on EXAU-A 1 and alarms from AL06 to AL11 will be displayed on EXAU-A 2. Note that the crossover cable is not included in the EXAU-A delivery.
