1. Calculate the size of the battery required for the application. Refer to Appendix A
for the proper procedure.
2. Connect two 12-volt, series-wired batteries of the required ampere-hour (AH)
capacity to printed-circuit board Terminals TB3 using the battery cable. See
Figure 2-9.

2-8 SIGNALING LINE CIRCUIT
The signaling line circuit (SLC) is the communications path between the ARIES Control Unit and
the SmartOne field devices. The SLC can be wired to meet NFPA 72 Class-A, Style-6 and -7 or
Class-B, Style-4 requirements.
The SLC can accommodate any combination of up to 255 devices, which include SmartOne
automatic initiating devices, monitor modules, relay modules, and control modules.
2-8.1 SLC Wiring Requirements
All SLC wiring must be twisted, unshielded, low-capacitance, fire-alarm-system wire.
Refer to Appendix B for recommended wire types.
2-8.1.1 CLASS-B, STYLE-4 WIRING REQUIREMENTS
The total wiring resistance from the control unit to the end of each individual
branch line cannot exceed 40 ohms. Use the following procedure to determine the
wiring resistance.
1. Short the ends of each branch line one at a time. Measure the resistance
from the terminating points at the control unit to the end of the branch line.
See Figure 2-10.
2. Remove the shorting jumper after each branch-line resistance
measurement.
