Wiring
This section contains guidelines and instructions for wiring the module to RS-232 devices.
General Guidelines
Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring:
• All wires must be 18 AWG (0.8231 mm2), twisted-shielded pair.
• All wiring is supervised.
• Conductors must test free of all grounds.
• Power must come from a Simplex-approved power supply.
• All wiring must be done using copper conductors only, unless noted otherwise.
• If shielded wire is used:
- The metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the entire cable length.
- The entire length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 Megohm to earth ground.
• Underground wiring must be free of all water.
• Wires must not be run through elevator shafts.
• Wires that run in plenum must be in conduit.
• Splicing is permitted. All spliced connections must either be soldered (resin-core solder), crimped in metal sleeves, or encapsulated with an
epoxy resin. When soldering or crimped metal sleeves are used, the junction must be insulated with a high-grade electrical tape that is as
sound as the original insulating jacket. Shield continuity must be maintained throughout.
• A system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning protection devices. This connection must comply with approved earth
detection per NFPA780.
• Only system wiring can be run together in the same conduit.
• Any wiring leaving the building requires overload protectors (2081-9044). Use one overvoltage protector where wiring leaves the building and
another where the wiring enters the other building.

Power-Limited Guidelines
Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring for power-limited systems:
• Non-power-limited field wiring (AC power, batteries, City connection) must be installed and routed in the shaded areas shown in Figure 9.
• Power-limited field wiring must be installed and routed in the non-shaded areas shown in Figure 9, with the exception of City wiring.
• Excess slack should be kept to a minimum inside the back box enclosure. The wiring should be neatly dressed and bundled together using the
wire ties provided with the equipment. Anchor power-limited wiring to tie points, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: Power-Limited Wiring
• Tie the wiring located between bays to the internal wiring troughs, if applicable.
• When powering remote units or switching power through relay contacts, power for these circuits must be provided by a power-limited power
supply that listed for fire-protective signaling use.
