Multiple Unit First-Out Indication

  If multiple Vigilante II annunciators are connected for multiple unit first-out indication, only one input from all connected devices will display as a first-out alarm.  

ALARM SEQUENCES

The Vigilante II Alarm Annunciator can be programmed for all common ISA sequences including A, F1A, F2A, F3A, M, F1M. Selectable ISA -1 (Silence Button), -4 (No Lock-In), and horn disable options. Two popular sequences are
