User Manual for the RA400 Remote Annunciator
1.RA400 Remote Annunciator
The RA400 is a remote annunciator panel for the GSC400 and TG410
controllers. It has 20 LED indicators to allow personnel to monitor the controller
from a remote location.
The RA400 can either act as a master or a slave. When set as a master the
RA400 can also copy the controller information to up to three slave RA400 units.
See the installation/configuration section of this manual for important
1.1 This Manual
This manual is divided into two sections:
1. Hardware installation / Configuration
2. Operation
1.2 RA400 Product Number Identification
The RA400 series product numbering scheme (i.e. serial number) provides
various information (including options selection by the customer) about the unit.
A serial number has the format given in Figure 1.

2.RA400 Series Installation and Wiring
2.1 Safety / Information
Generator systems contain high voltage circuitry. Failing to power down and lock
out equipment can cause damage to the equipment, or injury or death to
personnel. The symbols below will be used in this document to classify
information.
Indicates something that you should take special note of
but that is not a threat to safety.
Indicates a potential for injury or death.
This is similar to Danger above but relates specifically to
conditions where high voltage is encountered.
Cautions:
When the RA400 is set as a master do not
connector other modbus devices to addresses 2, 3, and 4 if
harm can occur to personel via these devices. The RA400 uses
these addresses automatically for it’s copy feature.
Unexpected behaviour may occur.

User Manual for the RA400 Remote Annunciator
2.2 GSC400 Firmware Version
GSC400 firmware version should be at least 2.00 and above with version 2.03
recommended.
To determine the firmware version cycle power to the GSC400 and observed the screen.
The hardware and firmware versions will display for a few sections before the GSC400
goes into the OFF or AUTO mode.
For GSC400 firmware version 2.00 the default Modbus BAUD rate is set to 57600. This
will have to be changed to 9600 (RA400 default) or 19200 as these are the only two
BAUD rates the RA400 supports.
2.3 Mounting Location
The RA400 Remote Annunciator must be properly mounted for safe operation.
Caution must be taken at the installation site to make sure the site is free from
condensing humidity, extreme temperature fluctuations beyond -400C to 850C,
and corrosive materials.
Intended for indoor, stationary mounting only. Please consult factory for outdoor
or high vibration mounting locations
The annunciator is designed to fit in a common 8”x 8” x 4” breakout box –for
example Hoffman ASG8X8X4. Refer to Figure 14 –Hoffman 8x8x4Pull B on
page 39.Also see Figure 2 –Size and placement of mounting holes below
for the RA400 mounting dimensions.
2.3.1 RA400 Mounting Dimensions
Figure 2 gives the dimensions of the RA400 mounting holes in inches.
The dimensions of the PCB behind the front plate is 5.2”(W) x 6”(L). The depth
of the RA400 is approximately 0.9” (without connectors plug in) and 1.2”
(connectors plugged in).

2.4 RA400 Terminals
The RA400 can be powered from a 12VDC or 24VDC source. It will not
operate below 6VDC and voltages above 30VDC may damage the unit.
All connectors on the RA400 use plug in screw terminals which are included with
the RA400. The installer inserts the wire(s) into the screw terminal, secures the
wire using a flathead screwdriver, and plugs the screw terminal into the terminal
socket on the RA400.
Table 1 on page 11 lists the minimum wire size, maximum current capacity,
name, and function of each circuit. The wire gages given in the table are the
minimum recommended only.
