8.1 E3 Series Control Panel Circuit Wiring Requirements

Table 8.1.1 provides the circuit wiring requirements for the E3 Series control panel.
Circuit Type Circuit Function
SLC Connects to
(power-limited) intelligent and
addressable
modules.
Or
EIA-485 Connects to
(power-limited) LCD-E3, ASM-16,
and ANU-48
modules
EIA-232 Connects to

ARCNET Provides interface
(power-limited) between network
nodes.
ARCNET should
be installed in a
separate conduit.
Note: Lightning arresters required on circuits extending between buildings; 999 meter length maximum to meet UL
1459.
