Panel Location; Power And Wire Length - Interlogix Concord 4 RF Installation Manual

Phone line Allow s panel to communicate w ith central
connection monitoring station and/or pagers.
Note: The total current sourced from all terminals cannot
exceed 1 amp.

Panel location

Before permanently mounting the panel, use the
following guidelines to choose a mounting location.
•
To help reduce wire run lengths and labor, centrally locate
the panel with relation to detection devices whenever
possible.
•
Locate the panel where the temperature will not exceed
120ºF (49ºC) or fall below 32ºF (0ºC).
•
To prevent wire runs from picking up electrical noise,
avoid running wires parallel with electrical wiring or fixtures
such as fluorescent lighting.
•
Mount the panel at a comfortable working height.
•
Leave at least 24 inches in front of the panel to open the
cabinet door and access the panel.
•
Leave space to the left and right of the panel for wiring,
phone jack, and mounting optional modules.
•
Leave at least 9 inches above the panel cabinet for
antennas.

Power and wire length

The panel can supply up to 1 amp (1,000 mA) in full load
alarm condition for system devices connected to panel
terminals 4 (+12V), 7 and 8 (speaker terminals), 9
(OUT1), 11 (+12V), 24 (2W SMK ZONE 8), and
SnapCard terminals.
For 24-hour backup, the total standby current draw for all
devices connected to panel terminals 4 (+12V), 9
(OUT1), 11 (+12V), 24 (if configured for two-wire smoke
loop), and SnapCard terminals is limited to 90 mA
(during normal standby condition) using a 4.5 or 5.0 Ah
battery, or 190 mA (during normal standby condition)
using a 7.0 Ah battery.
The total system wire length allowed can vary depending
on devices powered by the panel, the wire length
between devices and the pane, and the combined wire
length of all devices.
Table 3 below describes the maximum wire length
allowed between compatible devices and the panel, and
the minimum and maximum current draw of each device.
