Section 3: Installation
This section covers how to install Input Circuits (IDCs), Notification Appliance Circuits (Outputs) and P-Link modules. Wiring
requirements and configuration examples are included throughout this section. Please read this section carefully before installing
detectors and accessories to insure proper installation.
Initiating Device Circuit Installation
The panel is equipped with seven (7) programmable contact inputs or Initiating Device Circuits (IDC). They are power-limited
and supervised. All inputs are suitable to monitor 2-wire smoke detectors. Smoke detectors shall be installed in compliance with
NFPA 72. Inputs can also be used for automatic, manual, waterflow or supervisory service.
