The DMP 711, 712-8, 714, 715, 716, and 717 modules are each contained in molded plastic housings with removable
covers. The base provides you with mounting holes for installing the unit to a wall, switch plate, or other surface.
4.5 Connecting LX-Bus and Keypad Bus Devices
Connections for LX-Bus and Keypads are provided through the J8 (PROG), J14 (LX500), J9 (LX600), J15 (LX700), J17
(LX800), J19 (LX900), and J13 (XBUS) 4-pin headers. Several factors determine the DMP LX-Bus™ and keypad bus
performance characteristics: the wire length and gauge used, the number of devices connected, and the voltage at
each device. When planning an LX-Bus™ and keypad bus installation, keep in mind the following information:
1. DMP recommends using 18 or 22-gauge unshielded wire for all keypad and LX-Bus circuits. Do not use twisted
pair or shielded wire for LX-Bus and keypad bus data circuits.
2. On keypad bus circuits, to maintain auxiliary power integrity when using 22-gauge wire do not exceed 500
feet. When using 18-gauge wire do not exceed 1,000 feet. 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.
Note: Each panel allows a specic number of supervised keypads. Add additional keypads in the unsupervised
mode. Refer to the panel installation guide for the specic number of supervised keypads allowed.
3. Maximum distance for any one bus circuit (length of wire) is 2,500 feet regardless of the wire gauge. This
distance can be in the form of one long wire run or multiple branches with all wiring totaling no more than
2,500 feet. As wire distance from the panel increases, DC voltage on the wire decreases. Maximum number of
LX-Bus devices on the rst 2,500 foot circuit is 40 devices.
4. Maximum voltage drop between the 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. When
voltage is too low, the devices cannot operate properly.
For additional information refer to the LX-Bus/Keypad Bus Wiring Application Note (LT-2031).

Primary Power Supply
5.1 Transformers and AC Power Connection
The AC connection should be completed by a licensed electrician.
Never share the Fire Alarm Control Panel circuit with any other equipment.
The XR150FC/XR550FC panel comes supplied 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 .87A available.
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices! Use 18 AWG or larger for all power
connections. The panel must be properly grounded before connecting any devices or applying power. Proper
grounding protects against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components.
The 16 VAC

6.1 Battery Terminals 3 and 4
Connect the black battery lead to the negative battery
terminal. The negative terminal connects to the enclosure
ground internally through the XR150FC/XR550FC Series
circuit board. Connect the red battery lead to the battery
positive terminal. Observe polarity when connecting the
battery.
You can add a second battery in parallel using the DMP
Model 318 Dual Battery Harness.
DMP requires each battery be separated by a
PTC in the battery harness wiring to protect
each battery from a reversal or short within
the circuit. See Figure 5.
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 XR150FC/XR550FC Series enclosure
to ensure Battery and AC wire separation.
Use sealed lead-acid batteries only: Use the DMP Model 364 (12 Vdc 1.3 Ah), 365 (12 Vdc 9 Ah), Model 366
(12 Vdc 18 Ah), Model 368 (12 Vdc 5.0 Ah), or Model 369 (12 Vdc 7 Ah) sealed lead-acid rechargeable
battery. Batteries supplied by DMP have been tested to ensure proper charging with DMP products.
GEL CELL BATTERIES CANNOT BE USED WITH THE XR150FC/XR550FC SERIES PANEL.
6.2 Earth Ground (GND)
To provide proper transient suppression, XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel terminal 4 must be connected to earth
ground using
14 gauge or larger wire. 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.
6.3 Battery Only Restart
When powering up the XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel without AC power, briey short across the battery start pads
to pull in the battery cutoff relay. The leads need a momentary short only. Once the relay has pulled in, the battery
voltage holds it in that condition. If the XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel is powered up with an AC transformer, the
battery cutoff relay is pulled in automatically. For more information refer to Figure 1.
6.4 Battery Replacement Period
DMP recommends replacing the battery every 3 to 5 years under normal use.
6.5 Discharge/Recharge
The XR150FC/XR550FC Series battery charging circuit oat charges at 13.9 Vdc at a maximum current of 1.0 Amps
using a 56 VA transformer. Listed below are the various battery voltage level conditions:
Battery Trouble: Below 11.9 Vdc
Battery Cutoff: Below 10.2 Vdc
Battery Restored: Above 12.6 Vdc
6.6 Battery Supervision
The XR150FC/XR550FC Series tests the battery when AC power is present. The test is done every three minutes and
lasts for ve 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.
If a low battery is detected with AC power present, the test repeats every two minutes until the battery charges
above 12.6 Vdc indicating the battery has restored voltage. If a weak battery is replaced with a fully charged
battery, the restored battery will not be detected until the next two minute test is completed.
6.7 Battery Cutoff
The panel disconnects the battery any time the battery voltage drops below 10.2 Vdc. This prevents battery deep
discharge damage.

6.8 Power Requirements
During AC power failure, the XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel and all connected auxiliary devices draw their power
from the battery. All devices must be taken into consideration when calculating the battery standby capacity. The
following table lists the panel power requirements. You must add the additional current draw of keypads, zone
expansion modules, smoke detector output, and any other auxiliary devices used in the system for the total current
required. The total is then multiplied by the number of standby hours required to calculate the total ampere-hours
required.
