Wiring Notes:
1. All wiring from the AUX/NAC is power limited.
2. Conductors must test free of all grounds and stray voltages before connection to appliances and panel.
3. Terminate Class B NACs as shown using 733- 894. For Canadian applications, mount end-of-line resistor to Simplex-US Model 431537
EOL plate in accordance with ULC-S527.
4. If circuit is terminated with a 10k EOLR, at the terminals, remove this resistor before wiring.
5. If wiring is routed outside the building, use of a listed secondary protector is required. Use Simplex 2081- 9028 or 2081-9044. A
protector must be installed at each building exit/entrance. Each 2081-9028 adds 0.2 ohms wiring resistance. 2081-9044 adds 6 ohms
wiring resistance, and will greatly reduce wiring distance.
6. External wiring from the auxiliary power tap (AUX) is not supervised unless an end-of-line relay is wired to auxiliary power, and
normally open contacts are monitored by the FACU (IDNet device or IO point). Relay current must be considered as part of the load.
When only addressable devices are connected to the auxiliary power tap, an end-of-line relay is not required because the power for
the addressable devices is supervised due to the device being addressable. The preceding configurations provide AUX Power Class B.
7. Install a ferrite bead close to the AUX field wiring terminals for FCC compliance, as shown in Figure 48. Order separately as needed
(order kit 4100-5129).

Note:
This chart indicates the maximum distance for 1/4 -2A loads. Wiring distance is from the panel terminals to the last appliance. Use of a
2081-9044 protector reduces wiring distance.
