Auxiliary 24V Power Wiring
• All wiring is to 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.
• Voltage rating (24 VDC special application): 1 V p-p 
ripple (maximum)
- 0.5 A maximum available aux 24 V from EPS
- Additional 0.5 A maximum available from Main 
System Board (MSB) AUX 24 V
- 3 A total available from MSB NACs and MSB 
AUX 24 V.
- 3 A total available from EPS NACs and EPS AUX 
24 V.
• Compatible with Simplex 4098 Series Peripherals; 2098 
Series Relay Modules; all Simplex 4090 Series IDNet 
Peripherals; and 4610-9111 / 4606-9101  Annunciators.
• If wiring is routed outside the building, use of a listed 
secondary protector is required. Use Simplex Model 
2081-9028 or 2081-9044. A protector must be installed 
at each building exit/entrance. Each 2081-9044 adds 6 
ohms wiring resistance, and is rated for 200mA. Each 
2081-9028 adds .2 ohms wiring resistance, and is rated 
for more than 1/2A Aux. 24V capacity.
• Compatible devices must operate from a range of 19.5 
to 28 VDC or greater, and have a total current draw of 1/
2 A or less.
