Wiring the X-BUS interface
Installation & Configuration Manual
Star configuration 2
Multi-drop configuration
All expanders/keypads are fitted with a termination jumper by default. In multi-
drop configuration it’s imperative to remove these jumpers with exception of last
keypad or expander.
The multi-drop configuration varies in that each expander uses the same
communication channel as it wires onto the next expander, with all expanders
using the same input channel. See multi-drop configuration in the second figure.
In the case of a X-BUS break, all expanders and detectors up to the fault continues
to be supervised. A short in the cable renders all expanders disabled.
