Connecting the Transformer
This product uses the 1361 transformer (1361CN in Canada).
NOTE: Upon a total power failure, the control unit will ignore and not transmit alarm supervisory information for a
stabilization period of 120 seconds following restoration of power. Within 60 seconds at the end of the stabilization
period, the control unit shall initiate the transmission of a power restoration signal code. If this report code is enabled
(see report code programming in the Programming Guide), this is the report that will be sent.
UL
Use 1361CN Transformer in Canadian installations.
Power Limiting Outputs
All outputs are power-limited as per UL985/UL1023. The following table shows the maximum current that may be
drawn from each output.
Output Maximum Current Draw
Auxiliary Power 750mA
Polling Loop 128mA
Alarm Output 1.7A
For Household Fire or Combination Household Fire/Burglary Installation: The total current drawn from the
auxiliary power, the polling loop, and the alarm output combined must not exceed 750mA to comply with the battery
independence requirements in UL985.
For Household Burglary-Only Installations: The total current drawn from the alarm output may be up to 1.7A. A
battery must be installed to supply the current of the combined auxiliary power, polling loop, and alarm output in excess
of 750mA.
Failure to observe the polling loop current rating will cause polling loop malfunction. Failure to observe the auxiliary
power current rating will result in a battery that does not charge properly or possibly a tripped circuit breaker.
To connect the transformer to the control, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Connect all installed devices to the control.
2 Wire the 1361 Transformer (1361CN in Canada) to the panel (before connecting the battery) as shown in
Figure 3-23.
3 Plug the transformer into a 24-hour, uninterrupted, 120VAC, 60Hz outlet. After a few seconds, the keypad
display appears.
