Multiple Annunciator Wiring
• Do not "T-Tap" the power-limited EIA-485 circuit. It will not function properly. Wire as
shown below.
• Leave the 120 ohm resistor installed across the EIA-485 Out terminals at the last
annunciator on the circuit (see below). Remove this resistor from all other annuncia-
tors.
• Connect Earth Ground to a mounting screw on the backbox or cabinet.
• Connect 24 VDC Power to the annunciator. This power must be power-limited but need
not be supervised by a power supervision relay since it is inherently supervised by the
control panel (loss of communications is registered during loss of power to the
annunciator).
