SLC Circuits with Isolators NFPA Class X SLC Using an Isolating Device
5.6 NFPA Class X SLC Using an Isolating Device
Class X operation requires using a combination of isolator detector bases and isolator modules or isolator modules before and after a
non-isolator device. Flanking each device with an isolator provides fault protection to all other devices on the loop.
• T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Class X wiring configuration.
• When a non-isolator base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of devices.
• When an isolator base is used in conjunction with an isolator module, install the isolator module as shown in Figure 10.3.
• There must be a close-nipple connection between a device and the isolator bases or modules that protect it.

The first isolator module on SLC Out and SLC Return is optional
for N16, NFS-320, NFS2-640, NFS2-3030, NFS-640, NFS-3030,
AFP-300, and AFP-400 because the panels provide the
functionality.
