Applies to:
•
Ring 1 communication lines
•
Annunciator communication lines
Requirements:
Note: When annunciators or Field Modules are powered from external power supplies, use a separate conductor to
connect the main power supply common terminal (-0V) to the remote power supplies common terminal (-0V).
The EIA-485 circuit MUST be wired using a twisted-pair shielded cable. Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the
same conduit as, 240-volt AC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, audio
circuits above 25 V
RMS
or motor control circuits. All enclosures, including the FIP cabinet, must be connected to
electrical earth! Never use the shield as an earthing conductor.
Terminate the shield at the outside of the FIP cabinet (ground). Where this is not possible, the shield must be
terminated to physical ground immediately adjacent to cable entry. Between Field modules, connect shields
together outside of their respective enclosures. Make sure that the shield is only grounded at the FIP and not at
the modules or annunciators. Do not ground both ends of the shield; one end should be left floating.
Terminate the
shield at the
outside of the FIP
cabinet (ground).

Do not ground both
ends of the shield;
