5.1	General considerations
	NOTICE!
	All wiring except the battery terminal and primary AC power is power-limited. Phone lines are

also generally considered to be nonpower-limited.

Power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet by at least 0.25 in. (64 mm) and must enter and exit from the cabinet through different knockouts or conduits. Phone lines are generally considered to be nonpower-limited, so the cables for networking cards should not be run through the same knockout as the phone lines.

Avoid shielded or twisted-pair wire except for special applications where a reduced length of wiring (roughly 50%) is acceptable for tolerating a harsh electrical environment. Consider fiber optics for these applications.

A network group can be connected as Class A Style 7 or Class B Style 4. Class A configuration is recommended because this allows the panels in a network to communicate with each other, ensuring circuit operation in the event of a single break in the wiring.

The following table lists the trouble conditions that result when a fault exists on the network (SLC according to UL 864).

		Type of Fault	Class B Style 4	Class A Style 7
		Single Open	Trouble	Alarm, Trouble
		Single Ground	Alarm, Trouble (ground)	Alarm, Trouble (ground)
		Short	Trouble	Alarm, Trouble
		Short and open	Trouble	Trouble
		Short and ground	Trouble	Alarm, Trouble
		Open and ground	Trouble	Alarm, Trouble
		Communication loss	Trouble	Trouble
		Trouble = The control panel will indicate a trouble condition for this type of fault.
		Alarm = The control panel must be able to process an alarm input signal in the presence of
		this type of fault.
