Wiring Recommendations
The Honeywell Analytics recommends using junction boxes to help prevent
problems with intermittent connections. Install a junction box near each
Model SS4-AI Detector location. Next, wire each Model SS4-AI Detector to
its junction box. Use screw-down terminal strips inside the junction box to
make the connections to the Detector's terminals and a UL/FM Approved
Fire Alarm Panel. Use UL/FM Approved junction boxes and terminal strips.
Avoid wire splices. However, if wire splices are necessary, solder all
splices.
The use of good wiring practices will greatly improve the ease of
installation, improve reliability, and allow easier servicing.
2.1.4
Power Supply Considerations
The Model SS4-AI Detector uses 24 volts DC at a maximum current of
75 milliamps. Make sure that the Panel's power supply can handle the
current load of the total number of Model SS4-AI Detectors connected to
it. For example, if 10 Model SS4-AI Detectors are used on one Panel's
power supply, (multiply 10 times 75 milliamps), the Panel's power supply
must be able to handle at least 750 milliamps (3/4 amps). This current
load must also be considered when calculating the Panel's power backup
requirements for 24 hour backup.
