Figure 6-6.
Typical 20 mA Communication Loop.
See Figure 6-10 for AEP-3 connections.
In a single panel 20 mA communication loop, ground the communication cable
shield only at the panel, as shown in Figure 6-8.
In a multiple 20 mA panel communication loop, the 20 mA communication
cable shield between any two given panels in the loop should be grounded at
one end only. Ground either the receive side or the transmit side of the shield
(not both), giving care to be consistent throughout the loop. The receive side
grounding method is preferred (see Figure 6-9). The transmit side grounding method is
not recommended.
6-6-3: AEP-3 to N-1000-III/IV
Up to two AEP-3 Relay Expansion Boards per N-1000-III/IV panel can be added
to the communication loop. Using the cable supplied with the unit, one AEP-3
connects to the N-1000-III/IV at J1, and then to the next AEP-3.
(See Figure 6-10.) Refer to the AEP-3 manual for further details.
