Follow these general guidelines when installing communication wiring:
1)Maintain a maximum 5000 ft. aggregate run
2)Install all communication wiring in accordance with the NEC and all local codes.
3)Solder the conductors and insulate (tape) the joint sufficiently when splicing communication wire. Do not use wire nuts to make the splice.
4)Do not pass communication wiring between buildings be cause the unit will assume different ground potentials.
5)Do not run power in the same conduit or wire bundle with communication link wiring.
Establish service communication using Rover™ service software connected to the Tracer® ZN.520 using a twisted wire pair to one of the following connection points.
1)Remote zone sensor module
2)Connections on the board
This allows the technician to view and edit the Tracer® ZN.520 configuration and troubleshoot the unit. However, control options ordered and the wiring practice followed in the field may limit the communication ability.
