cGas Detector for Indoor Public Spaces - Installation Manual

Rev. A | 2020.11

6.5.2 Analog Wire Gauge vs Run Length

The table below shows the maximum cable length between the cGas Detector
and the controller for normal installations (a separate signal line from the
controller for each cGas Detector is required).

NOTE:

The termination resistor could be as high as 500 Ω (10 volt

measurement at 20 mA). A poor quality 24 VAC transformer might supply as
little as 14 volts at low line conditions.
