ZONES
Terminals17-28
Zones1to6 (Terminals17to28) on the panel are 24 VDC powered zones. For programming purposes, the zone numbers
are1through6. See the Compliance Listing Guide (LT-2779)for a list of the compatible2-wire smoke detectors. Do not
mix detectors from dierent manufacturers on the same zone.
Caution: Performing a Sensor Reset momentarily drops power to the devices on zones 1-6. The panel views these
zones as Open while power is absent.
When wiring powered zones for 2-wire smoke detectors, refer to the following specifications:
• Maximum wire length—3000feet (18AWG) or1000feet (22AWG)
• Maximum voltage—28VDC
• Maximum normal standby current—7.5mA DC
• Maximum line impedance—100Ohms
• Maximum short circuit current—63mA
The voltage sensing Terminal measures the voltage across a3.3k Ohm EOL resistor to ground. Use Model309 3.3k Ohm
resistors. Dry contact sensing devices can be used in series (normally-closed) or in parallel (normally-open).
Operational Parameters
Each protection zone detects three conditions: Open, Normal, and Short.
Zone Response Time
A condition must be present on a zone for500milliseconds before it is detected by the panel. Ensure detection devices
used on the protec tion zones are rated for use with this delay. Zones1-6can also be programmed for a fast response
delay of160milliseconds.
