How can I remotely activate an Emergency Bypass Load Controller (EREB) using a fire alarm system?

To remotely activate your Emergency Bypass Load Controller (EREB) using a fire alarm system, the connection method varies slightly depending on your EREB model. Here's a breakdown:

For EREB-AP Models:

1. Locate the blue wire loop (jumper) on the side of the EREB-AP and cut it. This provides two leads for connection.
2. Connect these two leads to the normally closed single pole contacts on your remote triggering device, such as a fire alarm system relay or a test switch.
3. Ensure your remote triggering device provides a normally closed, maintained dry contact closure. This is crucial for proper operation.
4. Test the connection by activating the remote device. This should trigger the Emergency circuit to turn ON.

For EREB-AD Models:

1. Remove the wire loop jumper from the Remote Loop In and Remote Loop Out terminals on the EREB-AD.
2. Connect the Remote Loop In and Remote Loop Out terminals directly to the single pole contacts on your remote device or test switch.
3. Test the connection by activating the remote device to verify the Emergency circuit turns ON.

By following these steps, you can establish a reliable connection between your EREB and your fire alarm system, allowing for remote activation during emergencies.
