Figure 23: ALC-396S Dual Intelligent Analog Loop Controller Module
Mount the ALC-396S Dual Intelligent Analog Loop Controller module as shown in on page 13. The module may be
mounted over the main chassis board or in any position that an adder module is mounted.
Wiring The Addressable Loops
There are two addressable loops present on this board (ALC-396S) that are wired in the same manner
as shown in the wiring diagrams beginning with Main Fire Alarm Module Terminal Connections on
page 33. Although these drawings show only Loop 1, Loop 2 is wired in the same way as Loop 1 is. Note
that Loop 1 and Loop 2 do not have to be wired in the same class, such as Class A or Class B or Style 7.
Therefore Loop 1 may be wired as Class A and Loop 2 may be wired as Class B.
