PVC Specifications

Communications Bus:

 The communications bus conforms to the RS-485 standard and requires the use of 

UTP- cable for 1M Baud data rates. Wiring must be run in conduit in a daisy chain from the Master Panel to 
the first Dist. Panel, from each Dist. Panel to the next Dist. Panel and from the last Dist. Panel back to the 
Master Panel. When style 7 wiring is used, a separate conduit for each bus must be used.

Voltage: 5V peak-to-peak max.
Current: 50mA max.
Impedance: 120 Ohms
 (max. imp. between panels)
Frequency: 1.024MHz

Power Requirements:

 Power supplied to the DCC module is routed to any attached peripherals. These 

peripherals in turn determine whether the DCC is part of a Master Panel or a Dist. Panel.  Amplifier modules 
in Dist. Panel are powered separately and provide 24 VDC power to the panel.
