to the wall by using all of its 5 mounting holes. The batteries should be connected in parallels of 24V just
like in figure 3.
When using an external enclosure with a battery pack, the connection with the panel should be per-
formed using cables with a maximum length of 1m according to table 2. Cable glands with clamping should
be used on both enclosures.

Loops and devices
Before connecting devices to the panel, at least a loop board is required. A loop board should be fitted
in the connectors identified with the words
Loop n card
where
n
is the number that identifies each board.
The maximum number of devices per loop, depends on the protocol supported by the devices:
• Apollo XP95/Discovery - 126 devices;
• Apollo CoreProtocol - 254 devices.
It is possible to place devices communicating with different protocols on the same loop. The panel
will automatically detect the device type and communicate using the appropriate protocol. To use mixed
protocols on the same loop the following restrictions apply:
• XP95/Discovery devices must have their addresses between 1 and 126 inclusive;
