Flexput I/O Circuits Installation
3.8.5  Installing 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Any compatible UL listed two-wire smoke detector can be used with the 5895XL panel. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for a 
list of compatible devices. Figure 3.16 and Figure 3.17 illustrate how to connect a UL listed four-wire detector to the 5895XL panel.
Installing Class B 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Figure 3.16 illustrates how to install Class B 4-wire smoke detectors.
1. Up to three Class B 4-wire smoke detector loops can be connected at once to the 5895XL panel.
2. Each Class B loop input is paired with a unique power source as shown in Figure 3.16.
3. Each loop gets smoke power from the even numbered I/O circuit and the contact input is connected to the odd numbered I/O circuit.
Installing Class A 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Figure 3.17 illustrates how to install Class A 4-wire detectors. 
1. Up to two Class A 4-wire loops can be connected to the control panel at once.
2. Smoke power is supplied to each Class A loop as shown in Figure 3.17.

NOTE: In programming, any point that uses multiple I/O circuits are always referred to as the lowest I/O circuit number used. For example, 
Figure 3.16 uses both I/O circuit 5 and 6, so in programming it would be referred to as point 5.

Figure 3.17  Class A 4-Wire Smoke Detector Connections
Note: The wiring class of the external power 
source must match the wiring class of the 
device being powered. Because the 5895XL 
only has six Flexput circuits, a UL 864-Listed 
Regulated Power Limited Power supply must 
be used with Class A Aux Power outputs to 
power the 4-wire detectors.
NOTE: In programming, any point that uses multiple I/O circuits are always referred to as the lowest I/O circuit number used. For example, 
since Figure 3.17 uses I/O circuits 1, 2, 3 together and 4, 5, 6 together they would be referred to as point 1 and point 4.
