Device loop wiring
The control panel provides one device loop circuit that can be used with detectors
and modules. See “Setting up a HyperTerminal connection” on page 188 for the
number of devices (device addresses) that can be wired on a loop. The loop circuit is
supervised for opens, shorts, and grounds.
Note: For a complete list of devices that can be connected to this circuit, refer to the
VS1 and VS2 Series Compatibility List (P/N 3101065).
Circuit specifications
