S86A
External Power Connections
Use the V+ and G screw terminal connections at the bottom edge of the SPP Precision Panel to connect 2
conductor wires (14-18AWG) to power VIA! Touch Panels that DO NOT use the Cat-5 power wiring option and DO
use the external power connector located on the touch panel. This application is typically used for long wire runs
greater than 110 feet in length. It is not necessary to use both the Cat-5 power connection (located on the ZONE
punchdown locations) and the External Power connectors described here.

RS-485 Expansion Connections
The RS-485 EXPANSION punchdown connectors channel RS-485 signals (VNET) generated by the multi-room
controller. The RS-485 information sent to these punchdowns is identical to that sent to the ZONE locations (Z#A,
Z#B, and Z#C). The RS-485 EXPANSION locations simply allow additional punchdown positions and typically WILL
NOT be needed when installing touch panels, touchpads, and keypads in an S86A system.
Note: The S86A Controller, generates VNET information for status
feedback. Make sure to set the ZNET/VNET switch to the VNET
position in any S86A-based system.
