7.1.1

Addressable Loop Wiring Maximums

Advanced Protocol and CLIP Devices

•

Maximum Loop Current = 350 mA

•

Maximum Loop Resistance = 40 ohms

•

Maximum Loop Capacitance = 0.5

•

Maximum Number of Isolators = 20

7.1.2

RS-485 Wiring to Annunciators and other Devices

RS-485 terminals are 300mA power limited.

See the wiring information for the remote annunciator being used.

Use the

Aux. 1

terminals on the FX-3500RCU main board for powering annunciators.
