System Wiring Diagram
SYSTEM STABILIZATION MODE: Upon power-up of the system and after completion of system program-
ming, all the lights on the LED keypads will flash momentarily and the LCD keypads will display
STANDBY! momentarily. EACH KEYPAD DISPLAY WILL THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. HOWEVER,
IF THE SYSTEM IS ARMED, THE ZONES WILL NOT RESPOND TO ALARM CONDITIONS FOR
APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES. The 2-minute interval is used to allow motion detectors (interior
zones) to stabilize on power-up in order to prevent false alarms. THE 2-MINUTE RESPONSE TIME CAN
BE DISABLED BY SIMPLY ENTERING A VALID USER CODE that disarms the system and reduces the
power-up reset time to approximately 5 SECONDS.
NOTE: If total system power is lost, then upon power restoral, the system will return to the previously
armed state.

TERMINALS DESCRIPTION
1(+) & 2(-) Zone 1 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = DELAY]
3(+) & 2(-) Zone 2 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = INTERIOR]
4(+) & 5(-) Zone 3 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = PERIMETER]
6(+) & 5(-) Zone 4 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = PERIMETER]
7(+) & 8(-) Zone 5 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = PERIMETER]
9(+) & 8(-) Zone 6 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = PERIMETER]
10(+) & 8(-) Zone 7 (Requires 2.2K EOL resistor) [Default = Normally Open (N/O)
PANIC]
ZONE INFORMATION:
Normally closed (N/C) devices may be wired in series; and/or normally open
(N/O) devices wired in parallel, with the 2.2K ohm EOL resistor on all
zones (refer to System Wiring Diagram on page 3-1). However, the N/O and
N/C loops may be wired without the EOL resistors, depending upon how
the zone(s) are programmed.
The standard loop response time is 280mSec on all zones. The factory de-
fault function for each zone is listed in the table above; however, any zone
can be programmed for the following types of operation: Delay, Perimeter,
Interior, Fire, 24-Hr. Alarm, or 24-Hr. Trouble. Further explanation of the
zone types can be found in Section 6: System Programming.
NOTE: Loop response time is defined as the minimum time required for a
fault to trip a zone.
8 & 10 ZONE 7:
Defaulted to normally open PANIC circuit. This hardwired panic is a 24-
hour zone that can be programmed for silent or audible operation. The
panic circuit will activate with each violation; therefore, a latched device is
not recommended. A momentary deviceis recommended. This zone, as the
other six zones, is fully programmable (see Question 23, Locations 1 and 2).
For UL installations, the panic switch connected to these terminals is to be
located no more than 3 feet from the control unit, with no intervening bar-
riers (this is a supervision requirement only).
11 EARTH GROUND:
Connect this terminal to a cold water pipe using 16AWG wire for a distance
not greater than 15 feet. Use a non-corrosive metal strap firmly secured to
the pipe to which the wire is electrically connected and secured. If the
premises pipes terminate in PVC, this terminal must be connected directly
to a six-foot grounding rod.
12, 13, 14, 15 KEYPADS (See notes on page 1-2):
A maximum of 4 keypads of the following types may be used: XK-406, XK-
4600RM, XK-4600SM, 6615 (non-addressable LED display type); or XK-508
(addressable LED display type); or XK-5LC, XK-7LC (addressable LCD
display type).
The connections are as follows:
12 (BLACK = negative), 13 (YELLOW = data in), 14 (GREEN = data out),
and 15 (RED = positive). Each keypad draws approximately 30mA. Maxi-
mum keypad wire run distance is 500 feet using 22-gauge wire.
Do NOT wire addressable and non-addressable keypads in the same in-
stallation.
NOTE: In some installations, it may be necessary to use shielded wire to
prevent radio frequency interference.

Section 3 - System Wiring and Hookup
3–3
12(-) & 15(+) AUXILIARY POWER:
The total regulated output power available at these terminals for connec-
tion of motion detectors and other external devices is 500mA at 11.5–
13.1VDC with less than 100mVpp ripple. If the total drain on these ter-
minals exceeds the 500mA limit, use a second power supply. Refer to the
Auxiliary Device Current Draw Worksheet later in this section for deter-
mining total current draw.
21(+) & 16(-) SMOKE DETECTOR POWER:
This system will accept 9.5-12VDC RANGE RATED FOUR-WIRE
SMOKE DETECTORS ONLY. Approximately 50mA of current is avail-
able at these terminals for powering all detectors and an EOL relay FBII
model 620. For UL installations, see wiring diagram for hookup.
NOTE: Trigger #1 must be selected for smoke detector power reset in or-
der for this feature to activate.
These terminals adhere to the fire verification and reset logic, which is
explained in the zone types section (Questions 17 - 23) in Section 6: Sys-
tem Programming. Manual reset of smoke detector power can be ac-
complished by entering a valid user code after clearing alarm memory, or
by using the star (T) key.
17, 18, 19, 20 TELEPHONE LINE:
Connect the model 368 cord as follows: 17 (GREEN = Telco Tip),
18 (RED = Telco Ring), 19 (BROWN = Home Tip), 20 (GRAY = Home
Ring). Insert the plug into a USOCRJ31X jack (or a CA31A jack for Ca-
nadian installations).
The FCC registration number is (AE398E-69554 AL-E), and the ringer
equivalence is (0.0B). The system should not be connected to party lines
or coin-operated phones.
If this control panel will be used for uploading, downloading, or remote command applications,
the telephone line connected to the control panel MUST NOT
be shared with a fax machine or
modem. Furthermore, this device should not be connected to a phone line that has Call Waiting,
unless the Call Waiting interrupt numbers are programmed into the panel dialing sequence.
21(+) CONSTANT DC POWER:
This terminal delivers unregulated 10.0-15.5VDC power for devices re-
quiring power within that voltage range, such as a VS279. The terminal
is protected by a Power Thermal Cutoff (PTC), which acts as an in-line
circuit breaker for those times when excess current is drawn. The PTC
does not require replacement after operation; it will reset itself after a
nominal time delay.
NOTE: Power for these devices can also be obtained by splicing the RED
(+) battery lead with an in-line fuse rated at 3 Amps or a PTC (for UL
versions).

XL-2T Installation & Setup Guide

22(+) & 23(-) BELL OUTPUT:
The total output power available for sounding devices is 1 amp at 10.5 -
15.5VDC for residential applications, or 12.0 - 14.4VDC for commercial
installations (650mA for UL installations). These terminals will deliver
CONSTANT output on BURGLARY, AUDIBLE PANIC, and BELL
TEST. On a FIREcondition, a PULSED output will be generated.
There are separate bell cutoff times programmable for burglary and fire
conditions within the programming sequence.
UL
For UL Household Fire Warning System installations, the speaker must be mounted indoors for
best audibility. Also, for UL installations, use only one speaker.
NOTE: Before connecting sounding devices, refer to their individual
specification sheets to determine current draw. Otherwise, the PTC may
cause continuous circuit interruption. An option exists to supervise the
bell output terminals if any zone is programmed as a fire zone (see Pro-
gram Questions 17–23); refer to the following information.
NFPA 72 REQUIREMENT: All the inter-
connecting pathways (cable, wire, etc.)
between the alarm system initiating
device (control panel) and the signaling
device (bell, speaker, siren, etc.) shall
be monitored for an occurrence of an
open circuit, which prevents the normal
operation of the system. An occurrence
of an open circuit shall be indicated by a
distinctive trouble signal.
BELL SUPERVISION (Bell) - To meet the NFPA 72 requirement, pro-
gram any zone as a Fire Zone (Program Question 22, Locations 1 and 2).
The bell is then supervised for an open circuit (not a short circuit) across
the bell output terminals; the keypad will indicate that a fire trouble
condition has occurred and fire trouble is reported to the CS if enabled
(Program Question 32, Location 3). If the bell is already ringing, the su-
pervision will not take effect until after bell cutoff time. Refer to the fol-
lowing diagram:
SIREN SUPERVISION (Self-Contained Siren/Speaker) -(Not for use in
UL installations.) To meet the NFPA 72 requirement, program any zone
as a fire zone (Program Question 22, Location 1). The siren is then super-
vised for an open circuit (not a short circuit) across the bell output termi-
nals; the keypad will indicate that a fire trouble condition has occurred
and fire trouble is reported to the CS if enabled (Program Question 32,
Location 3). If the siren is already sounding, the supervision will not take
effect until after bell cutoff time.
NOTE: Use FBII models ZR-815C, ZR-815EC, or ZR-830EC. Refer to the
following diagram:
