DATALINE INSTALLATION

GLOBAL (PANEL-TO-PANEL) DATALINE

PANEL 01 PANEL 02 PANEL XX

The dataline connects the relay panels, switches and optional control modules. Within the 4-wire dataline are two twisted pairs: the red and black wires, carrying data; and the blue and white wires, providing power to the dataline switches and control modules.

For simplicity, we refer to a 4-wire dataline running between

arelay panel and the dataline switches as a “Local Dataline”. The relay panel provides the low-voltage power to all of the intelligent devices on that section of the dataline.

The dataline running between relay panels is known as the “Global Dataline,” and it uses only the red and black data wires. The blue and white wires are not connected and should be trimmed.

Panel Addressing

The two rotary switches on each relay panel set its address, allowing the differentiation between relays in different panels.

NOTE: The first panel address must be set at 01 and the others numbered sequentially 02, 03, and so on, between 02 and 30 as shown to the right. If the panel address is set higher than 30, the channel LEDs in the panel will flash. Setting the panel address to 30 or below will return the panel to normal operation. If a panel is set to the same address as another panel, then the two panels will not operate properly. The ProSys LM panels can be setup in groups of 30

where the panels in a group can be numbered from 00 to 30.

	Note: To ensure good communications between panels,
	the installer must comply with the dataline specification.
	GE will not warrant a system using a dataline that does
	not meet our specification. To avoid questions, use GE
	RLONWIRE-4P (plenum rated). Do not run the dataline
	in conduit or wiring trays with power wires. Do not
4	connect the local datalines from two different panels.
