Introduction
This manual covers the installation and operation of the “T” series of Med Touch Alarm Systems. It applies to
three different back boxes and front panel sizes that are described as 2 slot, 3 slot, and 5 slot. These panels can
have a maximum of 4 modules in a 2 slot alarm, 8 modules in a 3 slot alarm, or 16 modules in a 5 slot alarm. Refer
to our Submittal Data Sheet 99-0488 for Master Alarms, 99-0489 for Area Alarms and 99-0490 for Combination
Alarms for details on the physical size and module options in each of these Alarm Systems. These can be found on
our website at pattonsmedical.com and look under Pipeline Products to find the type of Med Touch Alarm Submit-
tal Data (Specification) sheet needed.
The LCD Medical gas alarm system monitors the status of the medical gas distribution system and provides audi-
ble and visual indicators. The master alarm can be furnished with either Modbus or BACnet building management
interface circuit board(s) to communicate status information to the building management system. Any type of
alarm may be equipped with an optional Ethernet board which will; launch a website, send text notifications to five
addresses, maintain a rolling history / event log of 100 recent events and a file of 1,000 events, and provide a Mod-
bus interface. A BACnet interface option may be added to any master alarm with the Ethernet
option. The Medical alarm system monitors the status of the medical gas sources in accordance
with NFPA 99 and CSA Z7396.1.
The Medical gas alarm system is an assembly comprised of a rough-in box, a front panel and
transducers (if it is an area, combination or transducer master alarm).
Rough-in box
The rough-in box houses the power supply, fuse, on/off switch, and a terminal strip for electri-
cal wiring. An isolated transformer reduces the 110V or 220V AC input to low voltage DC.
Front panel
The front panel includes enclosed printed circuit boards with programming circuitry.
The Push Button module includes a power on indicator, quick view information buttons, the
silence button and an audible alarm.
The Remote Signal dry contacts module(s) can monitor up to 8 signals per circuit board. Mul-
tiple remote signal modules can be ordered in a single alarm which would be in communication
with dry contact sensors. The signals can be configured to display an abnormal condition on either
a normally closed (NC) or a normally open (NO) circuit. Each signal may also be turned off if it is
not being utilized.
The Remote Signal transducer contacts module(s) can monitor up to 8 signals from 4 transduc-
ers per circuit board. Multiple remote signal modules can be ordered in a single alarm which
would be in communication with transducer sensors. The signals can be configured to display an
abnormal condition on either a normally closed (NC) or a normally open (NO) circuit. Each signal
may also be turned off if it is not being utilized. The benefits of transducers over dry contacts are:
improved safety (an alarm is immediately triggered when a transducer fails), greater accuracy / re-
peatability, ease of setting (push button vs mechanical adjustment) and lower cost in most cases.
The Remote Signal 4–20 mA contacts module monitors a single 4–20 mA transmitter. The user is
able to program and name the units of measure represented by the bar graph generated by the mod-
ule. The user is also able to set the high and low alarm set points
The Gas (Area) module(s) on the front panel are identified with gas specific, color coding (per
NFPA 99 or CSA Z7396.1). The display shows the actual gas pressure along with an indication of
the pressure being within the Normal, High or Low pressure range. The gas pressure may be dis-
played in PSI, In Hg, BAR or kPa. The unit is pre-programmed to display PSI / In Hg from the fac-
tory, but may be re-programmed in the field to display BAR or kPa. In addition the display will
indicate System and Program failures. Each module is supplied with dry contacts for remote signal-
ing of high and low pipeline pressure.

Alarm Systems
Transducers
The transducer converts pressure to an electrical signal and supplies the electrical signal to the alarm Gas and/or
Remote signal transducer modules. After the initial 24 hour 150 psi standing pres-
sure test (required per NFPA 99) has been completed the pressure/vacuum trans-
ducers may be connected to the medical gas pipeline. The transducers may be remotely
attached to the piping system at distances up to 5,000 feet using standard 18 gauge
stranded twisted pair wire. Patton’s Medical recommends mounting the transducers in
the zone appropriate zone valve box (utilizing the E Z Backfeed™ and E Z Find™
features) or in the alarm back box. Should a transducer require service or replacement it is considerably more of a
safety issue and more time consuming to locate and replace transducers which have been remotely located above
the ceiling and eliminates contamination issues – such as having to set up a tent in order to remove ceiling tiles.
Risers
DISS x ½ O.D. tube gas specific risers with our Frontall™ front loaded check valve
are provided for each gas service corresponding to the gas boards ordered in an area or
combination alarm. The risers may be installed in the alarm back box or remotely on
the pipeline.

Alarm Systems
Alarm Installation
Installation of the Pattons Medical alarm involves installing the rough-in box, the risers & the transducers (if it is
an area alarm or combination alarm) and front panel and making the necessary conduit, plumbing and electrical
connections. All installation and testing should be done in accordance with NFPA 99 or CSA Z7396.1.
WARNING: Electrical power intended for the alarm to be installed should be disconnected prior to installation.
WARNING: This device should only be installed by qualified personnel. Installation should not be attempted by
anyone not having general experience with the installation of devices of this nature.
Rough-In Box Installation

This is a rough-in box for a combination alarm.
Your rough-in box should look the same or similar
to this unit. The risers are shipped loose, for protec-
tion during shipment, and must be installed. If
transducers are to be mounted remotely, it is rec-
ommended that they be connected to the DISS de-
mand check valves installed in the corresponding
zone valve box equipped with the E Z Backfeed™
and E Z Find™ features.
Refer to the building plans to determine the loca-
tion of the alarm.
The contractor is to provide rigid mounting that
will support the alarm box on both sides. The metal
flanges provided on both sides of the rough-in box
are to rest against the rigid mounting brackets.
Screws (contractor provided) are to be driven thru
the holes in the metal flanges into the mounting
brackets. Flanges are adjustable to allow for a dry-
wall depth of 1/2” to 1 1/8”.
Mount alarm rough-in box so it will be flush or just
below the finished wall surface using the adjust-
ment feature on the flanges.
(Side/end view of rough-in back box)

Alarm Systems
The power supply hole is located in the bottom

(left side) of the rough-in box. Remove the plaster
cover and panel covering the power supply. Make
conduit connections for wiring from the facility
emergency power source.
To remove the power supply cover, loosen the two

screws at the top of the cover and slide the cover
to the right, then lift the cover over the screw
heads. Slide the wiring harness strain relief to the
left until it is free from the cover.
Wiring
Use either of the two ½” conduit knock-outs provid-

ed on the lower left side and bottom of the rough-in
box to route conduit to supply either 120 or 240
VAC to the power supply. Note: Separate conduit
should be used for low voltage wires (use knock
outs provided on the top of the box). Low voltage
signal wiring must be run at least 6 inches away
from high voltage wiring. (90VAC or greater)
When necessary to cross low and high voltage wir-

ing, maintain minimum 6 inch spacing and cross as
close to 90° as possible.
Route wires through the power supply conduit in-

stalled in the bottom and left side of the rough-in
Neutral box. Connect the 120 or 240 VAC facility emergen-
cy power source electrical wiring to the terminal
strip provided on the lower left side of the box. (N =

Alarm Systems
The wiring harness will be provided pre-wired

to the power supply. If by chance you are re-
placing a wiring harness, the single green
ground wire should be fastened to the screw
on the top left corner of the power supply
board. The wiring plug in connector (which
should contain the rest of the wires), plugs
into the connector terminal on the upper left
corner of the power supply board. The black
wire will be on the top.
This is how the power supply should look

when the wiring is completed.
Replace the power supply cover and plaster

cover (to protect the unit while the drywall
and wall covering work are being done) after
wiring is complete
Install the risers in the top of the back box as

shown.
After removing the protective plastic caps,
connect the riser extension tubes to the gas

purge gas to insure cleanliness in the tubes,
½ inch O.D. tube
silver braze the joints. Do not use soft solder.
Conduct heat away from the check valves.
(Per NFPA 99 Chapt 5 a nitrogen purge is
required). The 150 psi standing pressure test
of the piping system must be successfully
completed and all pressure removed from the
system before connecting the transducers to
the system. Attaching transducers without
depleting the 150 psi standing pressure first
will result in damage to the transducers!
Note: It is recommended that gas piping system tubing be connected from the riser extension tube to the ceiling
for a future or blank gas display even though a transducer is not being installed. Cap the unused tube above the
ceiling. This will simplify future expansion. AU89xx series riser extension tubes are sold separately.
Note: It is also possible to install the transducers remotely (not in the alarm box). In this type of installation the
risers are connected to the gas piping system up to 5,000 feet away from the alarm panel.
Note: Pattons Medical recommends mounting the transducers either in the zone valve box (remote) in conjunction
with the E Z Backfeed™ and E Z Find™ products or in the alarm back box – not remotely above the ceiling.
Should a transducer require service, testing or replacement it is considerably more time consuming to locate and
replace or service transducers remotely located above the ceiling.

Alarm Systems
Installing the Hinges
After the walls are finished, the hinges may

be installed onto the rough-in box. The two
hinges should be fastened to the lower front
edge of the rough-in box using the screws
provided. The hinge should rest flat against
the surface of the drywall.
Installing the Alarm Front Panel
The alarm front panel snaps onto the two

hinge pins. If the hinge gets detached from
the front panel, simply snap it back on.
Attach the two (left & right side) lanyard

cables to the alarm back box and (if neces-
sary) front panel using the screws provided.

Alarm Systems
Wiring the Alarm Front Panel to the Power Supply
Attach the green ground wire, which is in the

wiring harness, to the ground stud on the left side
of the front panel – near the left rear corner of the
button board.
Attach the plug connector at the end of the wir-

ing harness to the appropriate connector located
at the top left corner of the button module circuit
board. The plug should lock into place. The plug
can only be inserted one way.
This is how the wiring harness plug connector

should look when properly installed on the back
of the button module board.
Installing the Transducers (non remote)
After depressurizing the 150 psig standing pres-

sure from the piping system, install the appropri-
ate transducers to the appropriate riser extension
tube connectors inside the rough-in box. Hand-
tighten, then torque lightly with a wrench.
10
Alarm Systems
Installing the Transducers (remote)
Transducer assemblies with DISS gas specific fittings have

also been provided and, after the 24 hour standing pressure
test is completed and normal operating pressure has been
restored to the medical gas piping system, they must be
connected to the DISS demand valves. Note: maximum
mounting distance of each remote transducer is 5,000 feet
away from the alarm panel to which it will be wired. Fol-
low the wiring instructions in Appendix F.
he transducers have been designed so that they may be

installed in a standard 4”x 4”x 2 1/8” electrical junction
box for added protection.
A panel mount feature has been provided to allow mount-

ing of the transducer using standard 1/2”conduit connec-
tions and 4”x 4”x 2 1/8” junction boxes. Note: The DISS
nut & nipple will need to be removed to allow installation
of the conduit nut and then re-installed using oxygen safe
Teflon tape.
Care should be taken to not allow debris of any type to

enter the transducer during the removal & re-installation
of the DISS nut & nipple as this may prevent the trans-
ducer from functioning properly.
11
Alarm Systems
Connecting the Transducer Wiring to the Alarm Front Circuit Board
The wire terminal connector on the gas board has

six wire connection slots. The two wires from the
transducer should be installed in the BLK &
WHT SENSOR slots. These are the two slots
closest to the top edge of the gas board (as
shown). If the transducer is installed remotely
and additional wire is used, it is preferred that the
wire polarities remain the same even if the wire
colors are changed.
The other four connection slots are for optional

remote monitoring of the low and high line pres-
sure alarms on a master alarm, building manage-
ment system, or other device.
There are a total of 6 connection points – the first

two connection points are for the transducer sen-
sor, the next two points are for the low line pres-
sure alarm and the last two points are for the high
pressure alarm. The low and high line pressure
contact sets provide a normally closed set of con-
tacts and consist of a normally closed (NC) and a
common (C) connection.
The transducer plug may be removed from the

gas module to make it easier to install
The wires
Visually verify that the appropriate transducer

wire pair has been attached to the appropriate gas
module by looking at the front of the alarm pan-
el. If there is not an Error Condition and a Sys-
tem alarm, the proper (matching gas service)
transducer has been connected to the gas board.

There are a total of 16 connection

points – two connection points for
each remote signal. The pairs are la-
beled 1 IN thru 8 IN on the circuit
board. The NC (normally closed)
labeled terminal of each pair is
where the signal wire should be
landed. The C (common) labeled
terminal of each pair is where the
common wire should be landed.
Note: it is required that polarity be
maintained between the switch being
monitored and the master alarm.
The terminal connector may be un-

plugged from the circuit board to sim-
plify installation of the remote signal
wires.
Land the corresponding signal on the

NC (normally closed) & common
wires on the C (common) terminal of
each pair of terminal connectors. It is
imperative that the signal wires are
landed in the NC position and that the
common wires are landed in the C po-
sition.

INIT (Initialize) – this command MUST be run first after installing a new rabbit board or after if a battery was
replaced on the rabbit board when the alarm panel was not under 120 VAC power.
PPN (program panel name) – this command programs the name of the alarm panel as it will be displayed on the

Alarm Systems
To set up users to receive e-mail or text notifications when alarm conditions occur, the following 4 commands
must be completed:
PMI (program SMTP mail server IP) – this command establishes the mail server IP address.
PUN (program user name) – this command establishes the SMTP user name. In the example below, we have used
TRI-Tech@ wolfcreekmicro.com.
PUP (program user password) – this command programs the SMTP password. In the example below, we have
used Foastt29. (Case Sensitive)
PCx (program contact) – this command is used to program a contact to be notified where x is the contact number.
The contact number(s) will be displayed on the event log. Up to five contacts may be programmed. See Appendix
M for Text Message carriers access information.
35
Alarm Systems
To set up communication through the facilities network server with the internet, the Program Gateway must be
used.
PGW (program gateway) – this command establishes communication from the alarm rabbit board through the fa-
cilities network server to the internet.
Below is an illustration of a simplified typical managed network at a facility. Both the rabbit boards IP address and
network gateway IP address must be programmed into the rabbit board of any alarm panel desired to be connected
to the internet.

The following additional commands are available for reviewing and testing:
SCx (show contact) – this command is used to verify the contact entry. For example - SC2 would display the con-
tact entry for user #2.
MCx (test command) – this command is used to verify that a contact and e mail server is set up correctly. It sends
a test e mail to that contact.

Modbus Interface-
The command list on the previous page includes commands for Modbus ID and Gateway IP programming. The
only setup needed to run Modbus is the Modbus ID. The Gateway IP address is used for getting messages out of
the local area network. This is typically a router on the LAN.
SMB – Show Modbus ID SGW – Show Gateway IP

PMG – Program Modbus ID PGW – Program Gateway IP
An example Modmap is shown on page 44. The Read Scan Lines are generated automatically by the Ethernet /
Rabbit board and will match the configuration of the alarm panel. Individual informational items may be selected
from the complete Modbus map to be communicated to the building management system or to the BACnet module
for use on the building automation system.
See page 43 for an example of the complete Modbus map.
If it is desired to communicate with the building management system using Modbus only (not BACnet) – then only
the Ethernet module is required.
Website Access–
Web access to the overview and alarm log pages can be done in several ways.
Viewing the Website of the Alarms Panels from within your facility ONLY:
Add the IP address of each rabbit board to your local network as a remote server.
You can then point a web browser at each of the alarms panels to view their webpage using their unique IP ad-
dresses. Consult your network administrator if you want to assign a name to each of the panels in your facility in-
stead of using the IP address. It is recommended that the same panel name used when programming the rabbit
board be used here to avoid confusion.
Viewing the Website of the Alarm Panels from outside your facility over the Internet:
If there are multiple alarm panels on the network in a facility then a reverse proxy server must be set up
with software such as Microsoft TMG (Threat Management Gateway) or other similar software to manage
the multiple panel traffic. The website uses port 80 by default. Each alarm panel must be assigned a
unique name such as west wing.pattonsmedical.com and the name DNS mapped to the corresponding
alarm panels rabbit board IP address. It is recommended that the same panel name used when program-
ming the rabbit board be used here to avoid confusion. This mapping is set up using the software chosen
for the reverse proxy server.
38
Alarm Systems
This is an example of how the website would look for a one gas (oxygen) area alarm module with a 4 – 20 mA
master module for oxygen liquid level. Note there will be 16 ‘boxes’, one for each of the potential circuit boards
on the alarm panel.
Below is an illustration of the event log. The event log is viewed by clicking on the Alarm Log button on the left
side of the website (see above). This event log will display up to 100 recent events with the most recent event on
the top line and the oldest event on the bottom line.
