20mA for a single isolator. In no case should more that twenty devices be connected to a single isolator. To simplify the calculation process, please utilize the loop calculator program located on the Summit website at http:/www.summit-st.net in order to determine maximum loop lengths, number of devices, and wire sizes etc.
15. Analog Devices The system supports Summit SI-200 Series photo, ion, multi-sensor and thermal (heat) type analog detectors, as well as contact input and output devices. The detectors may be configured as non-verified or verified alarm inputs. To determine an alarm condition, the system polls the analog device and compares the analog value against stored thresholds for pre-alarm and alarm conditions.
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Field Wiring Main Fire Alarm Board Field Wiring Wire devices to the addressable loop as shown in Figure 9 for Class B (Style 4) or Figure 10 for Class A (Style 6). Refer to the Table 2 for loop wire gauges.Wire devices to addressable loops 2 and 3, if available, in the same manner.
Field Wiring Figure 11: Addressable Loop Wiring -Class A or Style 6 FIRE ALARM MAIN BOARD CLASS A WIRING ION SMOKE DETECTOR OUTPUT MODULE PHOTO SMOKE DETECTOR INPUT MODULE HEAT DETECTOR Loop Operation When there is a short circuit on the Class A loop with isolators installed, the isolators isolate the shorted fault, the panel detects it as an open loop and generates an open loop trouble.
Indicating Circuit Wiring The SFC-500 Series Addressable Fire Alarm Panels supports Class B (Style Y) and Class A (Style Z) wiring for its indicating circuits. Each circuit is supervised by a 3.9K End-of-Line resistor. Each indicating circuit provides up to 1.7Amperes, total 5Amperes of current maximum if no auxiliary power is used.

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Auxiliary Power Supplies Aux 2 Resettable Auxiliary Power (supervised, regulated) The AUX 2 resettable auxiliary power supply is supervised for shorts, therefore a short will disconnect the power until the “RESET” button is pressed. A trouble signal will be generated if there is a short. The circuit must be supervised for opens utilizing the End of Line Relay Model PAM-3 as shown in Figure 16.
BATTERY BATTERY Note: The SFC-500 Series panels are capable of being wired for 120 VAC or 240 VAC 50/60 Hz as shown above. A good ground connection to the “Ground" terminal is essential to electrical safety, ensure proper operation, and specified noise immunity.
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual System Checkout Before turning the power “ON” To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply. Check that all adder modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.
