Appendix D: Wire Requirements - Honeywell Fire-Lite Alarms ES-1000X Manual

T-tapping of the SLC loop wiring is allowed for 2-wire (Class B) configurations. The total resistance of any branch cannot exceed 50 ohms.
The total wire length of all branches cannot exceed 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Connecting external system accessories to the ES-1000X main circuits must be carefully considered to ensure proper operation. It is import-
ant to use the correct type of wire, gauge and run length for each ES-1000X circuit. Reference the chart below to specify wire requirements
and limitations for each ES-1000X circuit.
Note:
1. If the SLC loop is to be run in conduit with Notification Appliance Circuits, the risk of encountering problems can be greatly reduced by
exclusively employing electronic sounders instead of more electronically noisy notification appliances such as electromechanical bells
or horns.
2. The SLC can be programmed to operate in LiteSpeed mode (factory default setting) for a quicker device response time. While shielded
wire is not required in LiteSpeed mode, it is recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical
interference. Use the following table to determine the specific wiring requirements for the SLC when unshielded wire is used:
Refer to Table D.1 on page 141 and Table D.2 on page 142 for wiring requirements.
