    Notification Appliance Circuit 2 - Remove the 3.9K ohm, 1/2 watt, resistor from Terminals 10 ( - ) and 13 (+), and connect resistor to Terminals 11 and 12. Connect field wiring to terminals per Figure 3. Class B, Style Y Wiring Notification Appliance Circuit 1 - Remove the 3.9K ohm, 1/2 watt, resistor from Terminals 6 ( - ) and 9 (+), then connect it in parallel within the last device on the circuit.

  • Page 14: Notification Appliance Wiring Estimator

    7.3 Notification Appliance Circuit Wiring Estimator Use the chart (Figure 5) to determine the required wire size for each notification appliance circuit. 1) Compute the required current. (Number of appliances multiplied by appliance current = amperes) 2) Compute the distance in feet from panel to the last appliance. 3) Locate the total appliance load (amperes) on the vertical axis of the chart.

  • Page 15: Remote Trouble Indicator

    10.0 REMOTE TROUBLE INDICATOR CONNECTION Terminals 17, 18 and 19 are for the connection of the optional 3-wire remote trouble indicator (RTI). The RTI is supervised for grounds and opens. Should an open occur, the system will indicate trouble. To use the RTI, install trouble relay K1 (4500-0024). Cut the jumper (JRTI) which is located to the LEFT of Terminals 17, 18 and 19.

  • Page 16: Smoke Detector Output

    FCI approved, U.L. Listed compatible, two-wire photoelectric and ionization smoke detectors that use the supervisory current from the initiating circuit as their power source can be used. Each zone is capable of powering a specified number of FCI approved detectors. See FCI Addendum, P/N 9000-0427 for a list of approved detectors.
  • Page 17 J3A and J3B. The J10A, J10B jumper to the LEFT of each zone should be removed for supervision. D. WIRING U.L. Listed N.O. Detection Devices or 4- wire smoke detectors may be used. For FCI approved, U.L. Listed, and Multiple Listed 2-wire smoke detectors, see FCI Addendum, P/N 9000-0427.
