Installation Wiring the Communication Ring
4.2.2 Recommended Cables
The following table show maximum lengths of each link for different cable types.
4.2.3 Wiring the Power Supplies
Power to the modules can be supplied by the control panel or by local power supplies placed near
the modules, as described in Section 2.8 on page 16. If local power supplies are used, they must be
equipped with batteries able to supply power in case of main power cutoff. The module power sup-
ply consists of one or more wiring segments that connect the power supply to the modules. The
connection can either be in series or in parallel. In both cases, make sure that the input voltage to
the modules is no lower than 20.4 Volts in max absorption conditions. It is advisable to use a
screened wire with a minimum cross section of 1.5mm² and to connect the wire screen to the
ground bar located in the box that houses the modules.

NOTE: For each local power supply an SB-SIM-GM module is required to send group power
supply unit anomalies and leakage to ground dispersion back to the panel.
