4.3.2 Wiring distances
Table on page 14 lists the maximum distances from the NAC terminal block to the last appliance in a Class A configuration, depending on wire
gauge and current. Use Table on page 14 to calculate the wire distances for your application if you are using Class A wiring. Table on page 14
gives the values for a Class B configuration.

NOTE:
• Max distance = distance from the power supply to last appliance.
• This table is calculated at 49°C (120°F). If you are installing in locations that could be exposed to higher temperatures, refer to NEC Table 8.
• Distances are based on a 3 V drop, and take into account the worst-case panel output voltage.
• If circuit integrity wire is used instead of housing cable in a fire rated enclosure, reduce the wiring distances by 38 ft (12 m) for every 10 ft (3 m) of
potential exposure.
4.3.3 Class A wiring
NOTE: The Class A wiring style is set up in the ES Panel Programmer. See the 4007ES Programmer’s Manual (579-1167), for more information.
To connect the power supply to reverse-polarity, non-addressable notification appliances using Class A wiring, complete the following steps:
1. Route wire from the B+ and B- outputs of the power supply to the appropriate inputs on a peripheral notification appliance. Use NAC1, NAC2,
NAC3, or Figure 12: Class A NAC wiring on page 15.
2. Route the wire from the first appliance to the next. Repeat this for each appliance.
