other, you may use the direct connect method to link the panels together in the site.The cable
used must be shielded twisted pair communication grade cable. See Figure 5-1, direct connect

or class A wiring options.

Installing using Direct Connection within a Site:
1. Mount the IFP-2000 and /or RPS-2000 panels within 20 feet of conduit run distance from
each other. Place the conduit for routing the direct connect networking cable between
panels in a bus configuration as shown above in Figure 5-1
2. Make the network wiring connections. The cable used must be shielded twisted pair 18
gauge or larger wire. See Figure 5-2 for the DIP switch termination settings for Direct
Connect wire option. Run one of the twisted pair wires from the NETWORK A terminal
on one panel to the NETWORK A terminal on the next panel. Use the other wire of the
twisted pair to connect the NETWORK B terminals together. Run the network ground
connection using the twisted pair shield between the NETWORK GND terminal on both
panels. Repeat this for each additional panel until all A, B and GND terminals are wired
together as a BUS.
