Environmental Alarm System (EAS) 
The EAS provides a central location for site alarm signal processing. The EAS 
monitors site environmental conditions, including AC power, smoke alarms, 
intrusion alarms, antenna tower lights, etc. 
The Site Controller and EAS interact in a master/slave relationship. The Site 
Controller sends commands to the EAS to determine the status of alarm inputs or 
set the state of control outputs. The EAS, in turn, sends alarm status responses 
to the Site Controller.  
The EAS continuously scans the status of the alarm inputs, ensuring that all 
alarms are consistently monitored. 
Alarm wiring routes directly from the RadioFrame Networks site equipment and 
power supply equipment to the EAS. The EAS sends alarm status to the site 
controller via the IEEE 1284 parallel connection. 
The EAS can monitor up to 48 inputs, each of which must be a contact closure 
between the alarm input and its return. Alarm inputs are optically isolated. The 
EAS also provides eight relay outputs. Four RJ45 connectors replicate the 
physical interfaces to the three RF cabinets and one control cabinet. The 
remaining alarm inputs and relay outputs are accessible via two 50-pin DSUB
