The Mega-Guard AMS supports both manned and unmanned machinery space applications. The Alarm Panel is the main component of the AMS and this panel contains 16 digital inputs with a text window and LED alarm indication. This stand-alone panel communicates with other Alarm Panels and with the Group Alarm Panel on bridge via a redundant Ethernet network. The Group Alarm Panel on bridge is physically the same panel as the Alarm Panel. The basic AMS can be extended with analog inputs by installing an EAS Operator Panel and one or two 24 channel Analog Input I/O Modules. The EAS Operator Panel is used for alarm indication and measured value indication. The EAS Operator Panel is also equipped with a RS485 serial interface to read values from other equipment. The Mega-Guard AMS can also be expanded with an Extension Alarm System for unmanned machinery space notation (UMS). In this case the EAS Operator Panel is required for Attended/Unattended selection, on duty selection and patrol timer functions. An EAS 3 LED Panel is installed in cabin's and public spaces in order to call the on duty engineer in case an alarm is coming.  Features The Alarm Panel supports 16 potential free alarm contacts (digital inputs) and 2 alarm inhibition inputs. Alarm Panels are interconnected by a redundant Ethernet network. Ring Ethernet wiring is fully supported by the Mega-Guard AMS. The Alarm Panel is equipped with an Alarm LED for each input channel and an Acknowledge and Stop Horn pushbutton. A text sheet with channel description for each channel is inserted from the top. Background illumination will shine through this  text sheet for night visibility of the channel descriptions. Background dimming level can be adjusted in normal operation mode by pressing the Arrow Left and Arrow Right pushbuttons. The Alarm Panel is equipped with a 2 line by 16 character display which displays diagnostic messages during normal operation mode. The display is also used for programming the Alarm Panel during  installation. The programmed data is stored inside the Panel and can be saved or loaded via a USB memory stick.  A Lamp Test of the unit can be performed when pressing Ack and Stop Horn at the same time during normal operation. The Alarm Panel has standard DIN size 144x144mm for flush panel console mounting. The rear of the unit is equipped with detachable terminal strips for field wiring.
