RD-64X Operators Manual
following three settings: Latching or Non-Latching, Energized or De-Energized and Silenceable or Non-
Silenceable. The values selected can be either Y (Yes) or N (No).
Energized or De-Energized
All alarms relays - Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, and Fault - can be configured to operate in either energized
or de-energized mode. In de-energized mode, the normally open contact is open if the alarm level has not
been reached (alarm relays) or the sensor is not in fault (fault relay). In energized mode, the normally open
contact is closed if the alarm level has not been reached (alarm relays) or the sensor is not in fault (fault
relay). Energized mode provides for fail-safe operation since a loss of power or cable failure will cause the
contact to be open.
Silenceable or Non-Silenceable
All alarms - Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, and Fault - can be configured to operate as silenceable, or non-
silenceable. If an alarm or fault is configured as non-silenceable, the corresponding relay, once activated,
will stay activated until the cause of the alarm or fault has cleared. If an alarm or fault is configured as
silenceable, the corresponding relay, once activated, can be deactivated by acknowledging the Alarm
Silence function on the front panel of the RD-64X remote display or by activating the external
acknowledge switch if one has been installed.
Latching or Non-Latching Relays
All alarms - Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3, and Fault - can be configured as either latching or non-latching.
In non-latching mode, the relay is deactivated as soon as the sensor alarm (alarm relays) or fault (fault
relay) condition is cleared. In latching mode, the relay remains active even after the alarm or fault
condition has cleared. Once activated, the relay can only be deactivated by acknowledging the Alarm
Reset function on the front panel of the RD-64X remote display or by activating the external reset switch if
one has been installed.
NOTE: It is generally recommended to set the FAULT relay as energized so that it will trip
upon loss of power.
NOTE: The FAULT condition is assigned to the FAULT relay as a standard. It cannot be
disengaged in the configuration of the controller. The Main Display will show IN FAULT for
any channel that is in fault.
7.3.10 Flashing Blue LED Codes
The FLASHING BLUE LED CODES menu allows the user to interpret the fault status of the RD-64X
remote display when the blue fault LED is illuminated. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display any
fault codes available. Perform a swipe of the down arrow marker to scroll the display to the next available
code. Perform a swipe of the up arrow marker to scroll the display to the previous code. To exit this menu,
a swipe over the PROG marker can be performed at anytime. If there are no fault codes, NO ERRORS
FOUND will be displayed. There are 7 fault codes available:
1. Channel Comm Errors
2. Channel Faults
3. RL4 Comm Errors
4. RXT-320 Comm Errors
5. RXT-320 Battery Faults (The battery fault can be acknowledged by swiping the magnet over the
RESET/ACK marker)
6. RXT-320 Battery Alarms
7. Inhibit/Test Mode Status
