SLC Capacity

1.4.9 300 Series Addressable Devices
Fire•Lite's 300 Series of addressable devices are fully compatible with the MS-9200, MS-9200UD,
MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600, MS-9600LS(C/E), MS-9600UDLS/E, and MS-9050UD FACPs. The
devices must be configured for CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) Mode operation. The
address of 300 series devices cannot be set above 99. Compatible devices include:
• SD300 Photo
• SD300T Photo w/Thermal
• CP300 Ionization
• BG-10LX Pull Station
1.5 SLC Capacity
The protocol selected for an SLC loop determines the maximum number of devices that can be
handled by the loop. See Section 1.3, "Polling Protocols", on page 10. Within those limits, the
individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for
this information.

1.6 SLC Performance

SLC performance depends on the type of circuit (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) and the components
on the circuit.
NOTE: SLC operation meeting Style 7 requirements isolates each device on the SLC from faults
that may occur within other areas of the SLC.
Wiring style requirements are determined by national and local codes. Consult with the Authority
Having Jurisdiction before wiring the SLC. The table below (derived from NFPA 72-1999) lists
the trouble conditions that result when a fault exists on an SLC.
Type of Fault

Communications loss
• Trouble - The control panel will indicate a trouble condition for this type of fault.
• Alarm - The control panel must be able to process an alarm input signal in the presence of this type of fault.

1.7 Surge Suppression

One primary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC wiring runs
outside the building. For detailed information refer to "Surge Suppression" on page 71.

1.8 LED Operation

The table below lists the LED operation on the various devices on an SLC.
