Wire Size And Length - 2gig Technologies Go!Control Panel Installation & Programming Manual

Wire Size and Length

To ensure proper operation, do NOT exceed the following
maximum length for the wire size installed:
Wire Size
22 AWG
20 AWG
22 AWG 2‐pairs
(19 AWG equivalent)
18 AWG
TIP: To ensure that the appropriate wire size and length is
installed, measure the voltage between the power
connection terminals at the back of the Control Panel.
The voltage measured must not fall below 11 volts DC or
the Control Panel may display nuisance "AC Power Loss"
messages and send AC Loss Reports to the Central
Station. See "Q52: AC Loss Reports to CS (0‐1)" on page
61.
NOTE: In the United States, wiring routed inside walls,
ceilings, and floors must comply with requirements of
ANSI/NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
building codes. For wiring from the output of the 2GIG
Class II Power Supply, wiring rated CL2, CL2X, CL2R, or
PLTC is recommended to satisfy these requirements. If
this wiring is installed in an air plenum (space used for
environmental air exchange) it must be rated CL2P
(plenum‐rated).
