Connecting 4-Wire Smoke Detectors

Note

The Two-Wire Smoke set- ting (in program mode) must be off when using 4-wire smoke detectors. See

ONBOARD OPTIONSINPUTS in the section “Programming the Panel” for complete details.

Note

Zone 8 must be learned into sensor group 26 (fire) for connected smoke detectors to reset after canceling a fire alarm.

Note

Install all sirens/speakers indoors, in a concealed loca- tion.

Figure 8. Wiring Smoke Detectors

Connecting 4-Wire Smoke Detectors

Zone input 8 can be used with 4-wire smoke detectors that latch and remain in the alarm state until power is removed, then restored to the detector. The panel provides this power interruption from terminal 23 (2-wire smoke power +), provided that zone 8 is learned into sensor group 26 (fire).

Table 5 describes the minimum available panel power. Use only 4-wire smoke detectors that operate at these power limits. Connect up to five Sentrol (ESL) model 449AT (part no. 13-360) smoke detectors to panel power and zone 8 input as shown in Figure 8.

Table 5: Panel Minimum Available Power

Min. Voltage/Max. Current Available

8.3VDC, up to 30 mA total (combined alarm) current

8.1VDC, up to 40 mA total (combined alarm) current

7.7VDC, up to 60 mA total (combined alarm) current

7.4VDC, up to 80 mA total (combined alarm) current

Connecting Speakers

The panel provides one siren driver output for intrusion (steady), fire (temporal 3), and auxiliary (on-off-on-off) alarm sounds. This output trips only for partition 1 alarms.

The output can drive a single 8-ohm speaker or multiple speaker circuit of 8-ohms or higher (as shown in the following speaker wiring diagrams). Compatible speakers are described under “Connecting Piezo Sirens”.

!To avoid disabling the panel speaker output, do not make speaker connections with the panel powered up.

Caution

15-Watt Speaker (13-060)

For exterior siren applications. Connect the speaker to the panel as shown in Figure 9.
