Specifications/Requirements
The typical allowable current draw from a compatible DSC panel on the Aux terminal output is
500mA @ 12V
DC
(for specific current draw please refer to the compatible control panel Instal-
lation Manual). For the operational current draw of the TL250/TL300 refer to Specifications
below. The T-Link TL250/TL300 modules also have 2 switched negative programmable out-
puts (50mA @ 12 V
DC
, each).
NOTE: For UL listed fire installations, shared on-premises communication equipment is required to be UL
Listed for Information Technology Equipment. The communication medium between protected property and
communications service provider must be for the exclusive use of the protected property and not shared with
other communications service provider subscriber.
NOTE: When a hub or router/gateway is used on the premises with the T-Link TL250, 24-hr. standby power is
required for these devices (i.e., UL listed UPS, battery backup).
NOTE: It is the installers responsibility to ensure proper bonding between the METALLIC ENCLOSURES of
the ALARM CONTROLLER and the TL250/TL300.
ATTENTION: This equipment (T-Link TL250) shall be installed and used within an environment that pro-
vides the Pollution Degree Max. 2 and Overvoltages Category II non-hazardous locations, indoor only. The
equipment must be fixed and permanently connected, and is intended to be installed by service persons (i.e.,
having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards which that person
may be exposed to in performing the task, and of measures to minimize the risks to that person or other per-
sons).
CAUTION
Ethernet communication lines must be connected to an approved (acceptable to local authorities) type NID
(Network Interface Device) before leaving the premises (e.g., UL installations, UL60950 Listed NID).
