SBUS Wiring Control Panel Installation
4. Connect the battery leads to the backup battery terminals. See Figure 4.7. Observe the proper polarity to prevent damage to the batteries
or the control panel.
5. Insert the RBB cover screws into the cover mounting holes (see Figure 4.7). Screw the cover screw 3/4 of the way into the cover
mounting hole.
6. Align the cover plate mounting keyhole over the cover mounting screws. See Figure 4.8.
7. Slide the cover into place and tighten the cover mounting screws. See Figure 4.8.

4.4 SBUS Wiring
This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types of wiring configurations (Class B).
4.4.1 Calculating Wiring distance for SBUS modules
The following instructions will guide you in determining the type of wire and the maximum wiring distance that can be used with the control
panel SBUS accessory modules.
To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect SBUS modules to the control panel, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case
current draw for all modules on a single 4-conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst case
currents for each module. The individual worst case values are shown in the Table 4.1.
After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 4.2 specifies the maximum distance the modules can be located from the panel on a
single wire run. The table ensures 6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier wire
gauge, capacitance is the limiting factor.
These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never be more than 6,000 feet, regardless of gauge used. (The
formula used to generate this chart is shown in the note below).
