Continue Connections to the Panel
Power Down First
Unplug the transformer and disconnect the battery to
make the remaining connections to the panel.
Alarm Output
Terminals 4 and 5 (+Alrm-)
The Alarm Output terminals provide a 10.2 VDC to 13.9
VDC output when activated.
The positive (+) terminal
provides steady positive output. The negative (-)
terminal provides a pulsed or steady negative output as
programmed.
Use this power for bells, siren drivers, piezo fire sounders,
electronic horns, or other devices.
Available Power
The panel combines power produced by the power supply
with power from the secondary power source (the battery)
to produce a total of 1.85A of alarm power at the Alarm
Output terminals.
Fire System Power Formula
To calculate the current available at the Alarm Output
terminals for fire and combined fire/burglary systems:
1. Add together the current draws for all devices
connected to the negative alarm output terminal.
This total is the current required for the Normal
Standby Condition (NSC). This total must be less
than 140mA.
2. Subtract the NSC current required calculated in step
1 from the Primary Alarm Current, 860mA. The
difference is the Alarm Current available for the
Alarm Output terminals.
In formula format:
Primary Alarm Current - NSC current
required = Alarm Current available
Keypads
Terminals 6, 7, and 8 (Data, and +Aux-)
You can connect a combination of up to eight keypads and
two types of point expanders (wired or RF) to the panel.
Four keypads with expanders can have points assigned to
them.
The installation sheet packed with each keypad contains
mounting instructions. Wire keypads and other devices to
the panel in parallel as shown in Figure 3.
You must use a minimum of five feet of wire (22 AWG)
when connecting the keypad to the panel. A short on
the positive Aux terminal (terminal 7) within five feet of the
panel prevents the panel from operating correctly.
Maximum wire length for all devices connected to Data
and Aux (+,-) terminals (terminals 6, 7, and 8) combined is
500 feet (22 AWG).
Extra power needed for more keypads. Review

requirements for your system. Instructions for using stand
