Table 2 describes the total system wire lengths allowed when installing systems using unshielded or shielded cable.

Table 2: Total System Wire Length Allowed

Wire Type	Total System Wire
18-gauge, unshielded	4,500 ft.
18-gauge, shielded	3,000 ft.
22-gauge, unshielded	3,500 ft.
22-gauge, shielded	2,200 ft.

Table 3 describes the minimum current draw of each device when the panel is operating only from the backup battery. For 24-hour backup, the total current draw of all SnapCards connected to the panel and devices connected to +12V BUS (panel terminal 4) is limited to 190 mA (during normal standby condition) using a 7.0 AH battery.
