Advanced ExGo Remote Status Indicator (RSI) | Extinguishing System Repeater | Display Only or Manual Release Options
Summary
The Advanced ExGo Remote Status Indicator Panels provide essential system status monitoring and control capabilities for gas extinguishing systems, available in four distinct configurations to suit different site requirements. Designed to work seamlessly with ExGo extinguishing control panels, these compact indicators deliver clear visual feedback on system status through a combination of graphical LCD display and 12 dedicated LED indicators covering fire, release, timer, disablement, mode and fault conditions.
Available in display-only formats (EX-3020 and EX-3021) or manual release versions (EX-3030 and EX-3031), the indicators can be specified with optional key switches for mode selection and control enablement. The manual release variants feature an integrated manual release button, allowing operators to initiate the extinguishing sequence from remote locations, whilst the key switch versions provide additional security through switchable automatic/manual mode control. This flexibility ensures the right level of operator intervention can be deployed at each protected zone entrance or control point.
Connected via RS485 network architecture, up to 7 remote status indicators can be linked to a single ExGo 1-loop control panel, enabling comprehensive coverage across multiple access points to protected areas. The steel IP30 enclosure (with optional IP65 version available) measures just 190mm x 235mm x 45mm and weighs only 1.5kg, making installation straightforward in both surface mount and semi-flush configurations. Each indicator includes programmable inputs and outputs, 2 optional relay outputs (with EXP-007F module), and supports multiple language displays, ensuring the system can be customised to specific site requirements and operator needs.

FAQs
What are the different models of ExGo Remote Status Indicator available?
Four models are available to suit different operational requirements. The EX-3020 provides basic display functionality with LCD and LED indicators only. The EX-3021 adds a mode select key switch to the display-only format for enhanced control. The EX-3030 includes a manual release button alongside the display and LED indicators, enabling operators to manually initiate the extinguishing sequence. The EX-3031 offers the most comprehensive control with both manual release button and mode select key switch, providing full local override capabilities at remote locations.
How many remote status indicators can be connected to an ExGo control panel?
Up to 7 remote status indicators can be connected to a single ExGo 1-loop control panel via the RS485 network bus. This allows comprehensive system status monitoring and control across multiple access points to protected areas, ensuring operators at different locations can view system status and, depending on the model selected, manually initiate or control the extinguishing sequence from their specific location.
What is the purpose of a remote status indicator in a gas extinguishing system?
Remote status indicators provide critical system status information and control capabilities at locations away from the main control panel, typically positioned at entrance/exit points to protected areas such as computer suites, telecom switch rooms or data centres. They display real-time information about fire detection, extinguishant release status, countdown timers, system disablement and fault conditions through a combination of graphical LCD and dedicated LED indicators. Models with manual release buttons allow operators to initiate the extinguishing sequence from remote locations when automatic operation is disabled or manual intervention is required.
What mounting options are available for the ExGo Remote Status Indicators?
The indicators can be installed using either surface mount or semi-flush mounting methods, providing flexibility to suit different site aesthetics and installation requirements. The compact 190mm x 235mm x 45mm dimensions make the units suitable for installation in confined spaces. An optional semi-flushing bezel (EXM-002) is available for installations requiring a flush finish with the wall surface, creating a neater, more integrated appearance in high-visibility areas.
What LED status indications are provided on the remote status indicators?
Each indicator features 12 LED status lights covering all essential system conditions. These include dedicated indicators for fire alarm status, release/discharge activation, countdown timer status, system disablement, operational mode (automatic/manual) and system fault conditions. This comprehensive LED array provides instant visual confirmation of system status from a distance, enabling rapid assessment of operational state without needing to read the LCD display.
What power supply is required for the remote status indicators?
The remote status indicators operate from a 24VDC nominal power supply with an operating range of 18V to 28V. Power is typically supplied from the main ExGo extinguishing control panel via the RS485 network connection, eliminating the need for separate local power supplies at each indicator location. This simplifies installation and reduces cabling requirements, as the two-core RS485 network cable can carry both communications and power to the remote indicators.
Are the remote status indicators suitable for harsh environments?
The standard units are housed in steel IP30 enclosures designed for Class A indoor environments with operating temperatures from 0°C to 40°C and humidity up to 95% maximum (non-condensing). For more demanding installations requiring enhanced environmental protection, an optional IP65 rated version is available upon request, providing superior protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for industrial environments or locations with potential exposure to moisture or contaminants.
What programmable features do the remote status indicators offer?
The indicators include 2 programmable monitored external inputs that can be configured for various system functions, allowing integration with hold switches, abort buttons or other field devices. Optional relay outputs (2 x 1A 30V AC/DC programmable, requiring the EXP-007F expansion module) can be added for controlling ancillary equipment such as warning beacons, ventilation equipment or door release mechanisms. The key switch (on EX-3021 and EX-3031 models) is also programmable for either mode selection (automatic/manual) or control enable functions, providing flexible security and operational control options.
