WIRE THE PANEL
Wiring Specifications
DMP recommends using 18 or 22 AWG for all LX-Bus and Keypad Bus connections. The maximum wire distance between
any module and the DMP Keypad Bus or LX-Bus circuit is 10 feet. To increase the wiring distance, install an auxiliary
power supply, such as a DMP Model 505-12. Maximum voltage drop between a panel or auxiliary power supply and any
device is 2.0 VDC. If the voltage at any device is less than the required level, add an auxiliary power supply at the end of
the circuit.
To maintain auxiliary power integrity when using 22-gauge wire on Keypad Bus circuits, do not exceed 500 feet. When
using 18-gauge wire, do not exceed 1,000 feet. Maximum distance for any bus circuit is 2,500 feet regardless of wire
gauge. Each 2,500 foot bus circuit supports a maximum of 40 LX-Bus devices. To increase the wire length or to add
devices, install an additional power supply that is listed for Fire Protective Signaling, power limited, and regulated
(12VDC nominal) with battery backup.
For additional information refer to the LX-Bus/Keypad Bus Wiring Application Note (LT-2031) and the 710 Bus Splitter/
Repeater Module Installation Guide (LT-0310).
Wire the Transformer
The XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel comes with a16VAC56VA transformer. The16VAC transformer must be wired to
a dedicated, unswitched120VAC60Hz circuit with at least 0.87Amps available.
Caution Never share the Fire Alarm Control Panel circuit with any other equipment. Always ground the panel before
applying power to any devices and use  AWG or larger for all power connections

Wire the Batteries
DMP recommends replacing batteries every3to5years under normal use. Connect the black battery lead to the
negative battery terminal. The negative terminal connects to the enclosure ground internally through the panel PCB.
Connect the red battery lead to the battery positive terminal. You can add a second battery in parallel using the DMP
Model318Dual Battery Harness. Refer to Figure  for wiring information
Note DMP requires that wiring in a battery harness is separated by a PTC to protect batteries from a reversal or
short within the circuit
For listed installations, batteries can be installed in a DMP Model341, 349, 350or352S enclosure and all wiring shall
run through conduit. The enclosure shall be installed to the left of the panel enclosure to ensure Battery and AC wire
separation.
Caution Use sealed lead-acid batteries only. Batteries supplied by DMP have been tested to ensure proper charging
with DMP products. Do not use gel cell batteries.
Earth Ground (GND)
To provide proper transient suppression, panel Terminal4(battery negative) must be connected to an earth ground
using wire 14-gauge or larger.
DMP recommends connecting to a cold water pipe, ground rod, or building ground only. Do not connect to an electrical
ground or conduit, sprinkler or gas pipes, or to a telephone company ground.
Battery Only Restart
When powering up the XR150FC/XR550FC
Series panel without AC power, briefly
short the battery start pads to pull in the
battery cuto relay. Once the relay has been
pulled in, the battery voltage holds it in that
condition.
If the panel is powered up with an AC
transformer, the battery cuto relay is pulled
in automatically. For more information refer
to Figure 1.
Discharge/Recharge
The XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel battery
charging circuit float charges at13.9VDC at a
maximum current of1.0Amps using a56VA
transformer. Battery voltage level conditions
are determined by the following voltage
ranges:
• Battery Trouble—Below11.9VDC
• Battery Cuto—Below10.2VDC
• Battery Restored—Above12.6VDC
Battery Supervision
The panel tests the battery when AC power is present. The test is done every three minutes and lasts for five seconds.
During the test, the panel places a load on the battery. If the battery voltage falls below11.9VDC a low battery is
detected. If AC power is not present, a low battery is detected any time the battery voltage falls below11.9VDC. When
battery voltage drops below10.2VDC, the panel performs a battery cuto to prevent deep discharge damage.
If a low battery is detected with AC power present, the test repeats every two minutes until the battery charges
above12.6VDC. If a weak battery is replaced with a fully charged battery, the restored battery will not be detected until
the next test is completed.

Notification
The user must not repair registered terminal equipment. In case of trouble,
immediately unplug the device from the telephone jack. Registered
terminal equipment may not be used on a shared or public line. Provide
the telephone company the following information:
• The particular lines where the service is connected
• The FCC registration number as listed
• The ringer equivalence
• The device make, model, and serial number
Phone Line Monitor
The XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel has a built-in telephone monitor that
monitors the phone line voltage to verify the connection to the central
station. Figure 8and Table 2 identify the phone block pin layout, wire
numbers, and colors.
The wires on the RJ31that feed pins4and5should be the only
wires on the DMARC. All other house phone wiring should be tied to
pins1and8coming back from the RJ31.
Dial tone must come in to RJ31X on pins4and5and go back to house
phones from pins1and8. Follow these steps to determine if the panel is
seizing the line:
1. Unplug phone cord from RJ31X
2. Place a butt-set on pins4and5
3. Confirm the presence of a dial tone, then lift the wire from either pins1or8.
4. If a dial tone is still present, the RJ31X wiring is correct. If no dial tone is present, the RJ31X wiring is backwards.
Rewire the phone block so the dial tone is coming in onpins 4and5, then retest the connection.
If you still have trouble with the phone line after rewiring the phone block, you may need to replace the RJ cord. If the
dial tone is still not present after replacing the phone cord, replace the RJ31X phone block.
RESET and TAMPER Headers
RESET Header
The RESET header is used to reset the panel. To reset the panel when installing the
system, place the jumper across both RESET pins before applying power to the
panel. After connecting the AC and battery, remove the reset jumper.
To reset the panel while the system is operational, install the reset jumper without
powering down the system. Remove the reset jumper after one or two seconds.
After resetting the panel, begin programming within30minutes. Otherwise, you
must reset the panel again to enter the PROG menu.
TAMPER Header
The TAMPER header is designed to connect to a tamper switch with a tamper
harness. One or more tamper switches can be mounted inside the panel enclosure
to supervise unauthorized removal or opening of an enclosure. Refer to the wiring
diagram on the enclosure door for correct tamper switch wiring.
If the enclosure is opened or removed while one or more of the system areas are
armed, the system goes into alarm. If all areas are disarmed, a tamper trouble is
indicated by the panel.
