4.9 Area Alarm Module
Chapter 4: Removal, Replacement, and Adjustment Procedures

4.9 Area Alarm Module

Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver
5/32" hex wrench

Removal

CAUTION:
If you are replacing an Area Alarm Module in an Area Alarm that uses
the Network Communications Board and the Ethernet, use the Clear
Network function before you start the procedure. Otherwise, the
MedPlus TotalAlert™ Alarm Network will indicate that an error has
occurred.

CAUTION:
If you are replacing an Area Alarm Module in a 30-Point Master Alarm
with three Area Alarm Modules, use the Clear Network function before
you start the procedure. Otherwise, the MedPlus TotalAlert™ Alarm
Network will indicate that an error has occurred.

1. If the Area Alarm Module that you are replacing is in an Area Alarm that is
connected to the facility’s Ethernet, or in a 30-Point Master Alarm with
three Area Alarm Modules; use the Clear Network function before you
begin this procedure (see “Clear Alarm Network Device List” on page
1-95). Otherwise the MedPlus TotalAlert™ Alarm Network displays the
error “Connection Lost with Device…,” because it is searching for the
replaced module instead of the new one.

2. Using a 5/32" hex wrench, unlock the front panel (A) (see figure 4-10 on
page 4-27).
