3.12 Wiring a Signalling Line Circuit (SLC)
3.12.1 SLC Overview
Communication between the CPU and intelligent and addressable initiating, monitor, and control
devices takes place through a Signalling Line Circuit (SLC). This manual provides requirements
and performance details specific to this control panel; for installation information and general
information, refer to the SLC Wiring Manual.
For electrical specifications, see Appendix A.2 “SLC Loops”. For additional notes on SLC
resistance values, see Section 4.1 “Operational Checks”.
3.12.2 SLC Capacity
The AFP-3030 supports up to five pairs of LCM-320 and LEM-320 modules, providing from one
to ten SLC loops. Loop capacity depends on operating mode:
• Flash Scan: 01-159 intelligent detectors, 01-159 monitor and control modules
• CLIP: 01-99 intelligent detectors, 01-99 monitor and control modules
FlashScan devices can operate in either FlashScan or CLIP mode. Older models of CLIP devices
only support addresses up to address 99. CLIP loops are limited to 99 detectors and 99 modules.
The following configuration guidelines may be used to improve the response times of CLIP loops:
1. All manual pull stations must be assigned addresses from 1-20.
*Protocol: When printing in graphics mode, set I/O Serial Protocol to “Robust XON/OFF”.

NOTE: Response times for CLIP loops may vary. CLIP loops must be tested to assure that
actuation of notification appliances occurs within 15 seconds after activation of an initiating
device.
