IDC Wiring
• All wiring must be 18 AWG min. to 12 AWG max.
• Conductors must test free of all grounds and stray volt-
ages before connection to appliances and panel.
• All wiring is supervised and power-limited. IDCs
should be segregated from AC supply wiring. If wired
power-limited, segregate IDC wiring from non-power
limited wiring.
• Leave a 3.3K, 1/2 W resistor (supplied) across all
unused IDC terminals.
• Terminate Class B circuits with listed 3.3K, 1W end-of-
line resistor, part number 733-893. For Canadian appli-
cations, mount end-of-line resistor to TEPG-US Model
431537 EOL plate in accordance with ULC-S527.
• Class A Circuits. Wire as follows:
- Wire from B+/B- from of TB3 to each initiating
device. Wire in a daisy-chain style, in and out from
each device to the next device.
- Do not “T-Tap” wiring.
- Wire from last device back to the A+/A- terminals
on the Class A adapter for that circuit. EOLR is
built onto Class A board.
• For Class A, set CLA Adapter 1 (IDCs 1-5) or CLA
Adapter 2 (IDCs 1-10) System Option to ON. If using
expansion IDC module, set EXP IDC system option to
ON. See Chapter 6.
• Class B Circuits. Wire the circuit to the B+ / B- termi-
nals. The circuit must be wired with IN/OUT wiring
from detector to detector and terminate with 733-893
EOLR.
• Maximum allowed wiring resistance is 50 ohms per cir-
cuit. Suggested wire is 18 AWG, allowing up to 3500’
distance from panel to EOLR (Class B) or Class A
Board (Class A). For Simplex Model 4098-9683 relay
base, limit is one device per circuit. For all other detec-
tors and bases, up to 30 devices per circuit are allowed.
• Maximum detector standby current is 3 mA per IDC.
Maximum detector alarm current is 60 mA per IDC.
16-32 VDC, 1/2 V peak-to-peak maximum ripple. Max-
imum circuit capcitance is 100 uf per IDC.
• Compatible detectors:
- 4098-9601, photoelectric smoke (2.8%) detector
- 4098-9602, combination photo/heat detector
- 4098-9605, photoelectric smoke (special
sensitivity) detector
- 4098-9612, 135° F, Fixed temp heat detector
- 4098-9613, 135° F, Fixed temp/rate of rise heat
- 4098-9614, 200° F Fixed temp heat detector
- 4098-9615, 200° F Fixed temp/rate of rise heat
The compatibility identifier is the model number associ-
ated with the board or module.
• Compatiblebases:
- 4098-9788, two-wire base (max. 30 per loop).
- 4098-9683, two-wire base with auxiliary relay
(limit of one per IDC).
- 4098-9684, two-wire base with LED for use with
heat detectors 4098-9612
- through 9615 (max. 30 per loop).
- 4098-9682, 4-wire base with aux. alarm relay (max.
30 per loop). See “Wiring 4098-9682 Four-Wire
Base” below.
