ASI's Annunciator with Imbeded "Diagnostics Unit"

[Jim Zahn]

I understand that one of your other AES IntelliNet Network tools, the Diagnostics Module, is also available as a feature in the new ANNR38, can you explain a little about this tool and how it might be applied? 

Will the local AHJ's have the ability to put the units into the diagnostics mode, and could they also use their iPhones or Androids with the Flash Port App. to perform this?

Do you see the AES 7788f and ASI Communications ANNR38 combo package as a good replacement for the aging Alarm-Net 7720A's out there?

All of the Diagnostic Module features are also available on The Annunciator.  If you are installing an Annunciator then you do not need a Diagnostic Module to test with.

Two commands are available via FlashPort that don't require a password,  "Diagnostics" and "Manual Test".  This means that your customer or AHJ can download (for free) our FlashPort app which they can use to display Diagnostics and send a Manual Test signal to the monitoring center without any other physical hardware connections.

In most cases, you should be able to replace an AlarmNet 7720 FCP with a standalone AES Radio and ASI Annunciator.  The AES Radio does not have any Class-A loops nor does the Annunciator have the ability to directly power external horns or strobes or smoke detectors.  Although, the programmable Relay Outputs could certainly be used to trigger a remote power supply for horns and strobes and to reset powered smoke detectors.
