Device loop wiring
The control panel provides one device loop circuit that can be used
with detectors and modules. Refer to the "Control panel
specifications" for the number of devices (device addresses) that
can be wired on a loop. The loop circuit is supervised for opens,
shorts, and grounds.
Note:
For a complete list of devices that can be connected to this
circuit, refer to the
VS1 and VS2 Series Compatibility List
(P/N
3101065).
Circuit specifications
• Class B or Class A
• Communication line voltage: Maximum 20.6 V peak-to-peak
• Circuit current: 0.5 A max.
• Max. total resistance: 66
• Max. total capacitance: 0.5 µF
• Max. resistance between isolators: Limited only by overall wire
run lengths
• 64 isolators maximum (total both isolator bases and modules)
• Ground fault impedance: 0 to 5 k
• Signal synchronization is supported on a system-wide basis (all
device loops) when using GSA-CC1S or GSA-MCC1S addressable
NAC modules and Genesis or Enhanced Integrity notification
appliances.
Note:
Installation limits under jurisdiction of local authority.
