a. To comply with UL requirements, use shielded, minimum 22 AWG stranded, twisted pair cable for monitor points, DSMs, and REXs.
Use Belden 9462 or equivalent.
b. Check wire lengths to verify that voltage drops are acceptable.
Calculations are based on a single RM-4 reader with keypad and LCD (250 mA):
Using 22 AWG, distance = 600 ft. (.0165 ohms /ft.)
Using 18 AWG, distance = 1500 ft. (.0065 ohms /ft.)
The iSTAR Ultra SE Ethernet connections are two GCM Inboard Ethernet ports
which support up to 1 Gbps each (auto-sense 10, 100, 1000 Mbps).
J5 and J6 Ethernet are supported on C•CURE 9000 (Pro Mode and Ultra Mode).

J6 Ethernet is used instead of a PCMCIA NIC card for the iSTAR Ultra in Pro Mode when

configured in C•CURE 9000 or C• 800.
Ethernet cabling must be CAT-5E or better.

The Power Input terminals on the iSTAR Ultra SE accept conductor size up to 2mm

