Any six alarms. One panel people can see.

The Remote Status Panel brings up to six dry-contact signals from any equipment onto one wall-mounted panel. Each input has its own LED and label, a buzzer sounds when something changes, and every input is published over Modbus for your BMS.

What it does

Six contacts in. Lights, sound and data out.

Each piece of equipment's dry contact is wired back to one of the panel's six inputs.

When a contact changes to its alarm state, the panel lights that input, sounds the buzzer, switches the summary alarm relay and reports the input over Modbus.

Key features

Six inputs you can see, hear and trust.

Labeled by you

A write-on strip beside each LED, compatible with Brother ½-inch labels, so staff see "Sump Pump Fault", not "Input 1".

NO or NC, per input

Each input is set to match its contact. Normally closed wiring also alarms on a cut wire, so a critical signal can't fail silently.

Optional latching

Turn latching on for the critical inputs so a brief fault stays lit until someone acknowledges it. Leave routine status inputs live.

Summary alarm output

One relay (NO or NC, 6 A) switches when any input alarms. Use it for a beacon, or to tell another system the panel is in alarm.

Test it any time

Hold the Acknowledge button for about five seconds: every LED lights and the buzzer sounds.

Where it's used

Unrelated alarms, gathered in one place.

The panel reads plain dry contacts, so it works with almost any equipment, old or new.

Mechanical room roll-up

Two pump faults, a booster pump and a make-up air unit on one panel by the door. The pump faults are wired normally closed and latched, so a fault that clears on its own is still seen.

Remote equipment, manned desk

Contacts from equipment on a roof, in a vault or in an outbuilding, run up to 1,000 feet to the desk where people work. The summary alarm relay drives a beacon so an alarm is seen across the room.

Standalone equipment on the network

Older equipment with only relay contacts becomes live Modbus points for the BMS or the Pythia DM, without touching the equipment.

Fail-safe tip

Wire critical signals normally closed where the equipment allows it. A cut or disconnected wire then raises an alarm instead of going quiet.

Pythia Remote Status Panel, angled view
Pythia DM and the AI Connector

From a status light to a full equipment history.

The Pythia DM polls the panel over Modbus and gives every input an alarm, a notification, a time stamp and a trend. With the DM AI Connector, an assistant can tell you which input alarmed, when it started and how often it has happened before.

Did anything alarm in Mech Room B overnight?
Yes. Input 1, Sump Pump Fault, alarmed at 2:47 AM and was acknowledged at 6:10 AM. It is latched and still lit. The other inputs are normal. The sump pump has faulted twice this week, so it may need a service visit.

Questions

Remote status panel questions, answered.

What is the Remote Status Panel?

The Remote Status Panel (CS0-RSP-06) is a wall-mount panel that brings up to six dry-contact signals from any equipment onto one display. Each input has its own LED and write-on label, a buzzer sounds when an input alarms, a summary alarm relay switches, and every input is published over Modbus.

What can it monitor?

Any equipment with a voltage-free dry contact: pump faults, generator running or alarm contacts, air handler and fan alarms, door switches, and temperature, flow or float switches. Each input is labeled for what it watches.

How far away can the equipment be?

Up to 1,000 feet from the panel on voltage-free dry-contact wiring. Belden 6300UE is recommended.

Does an alarm stay lit after the contact resets?

Only if latching is turned on for that input. Latching is optional and set per input, so critical alarms can stay lit until someone acknowledges them while routine status inputs follow the live contact.

What is the summary alarm output?

One relay, NO or NC and rated 6 A, that switches when any input alarms. Use it to drive a beacon or to tell another system, such as a BMS or annunciator, that the panel is in alarm.

Does the panel connect to a BMS?

Yes. All six inputs are published over Modbus RTU as standard, with Modbus/TCP, SNMP and BACnet/IP available through optional adapters.

How is it different from the UPS and leak detection panels?

The UPS Remote Status Panel is pre-labeled for six UPS conditions on a one-line mimic, and the Remote Leak Detection Panel adds detector power and a relay per zone. The Remote Status Panel is the general-purpose model for any mix of equipment.

Can the data go to the Pythia DM or an AI assistant?

Yes. The Pythia DM can poll the panel over Modbus, giving every input an alarm, a notification, a time stamp and a trend. With the DM AI Connector, an AI assistant can answer from that data.
