1.0 Overview
The EA500 Transponder is the Security Escort module
that provides communications between the central
console and the many receivers and alert units
throughout the protected area. In addition to its
communications functions, this transponder also
supplies power to the receivers. Each transponder also
includes drivers for a single strobe and siren.

3.0 Mounting
Normally, the enclosures are mounted first and all
wiring is run. Then the electronics are mounted, wired,
and tested.
The enclosures include hardware for mounting the
enclosure to a wall and mounting the circuit board to
the enclosure.
1. Mount the enclosure to the mounting surface.
2. Mount the circuit board to the enclosure. See Figure
1.

4.0 Wiring
Wire the transponder according to Figure 2.
The wiring to the receivers and alert units can be as
home-run (individual), daisy-chain (device to device), or
a combination of both. T-tapping is also acceptable. The
recommended cable is 4-conductor, 18 AWG
(1.2 mm [0.05 in.]) fire rated.
Wiring from SE485 to the transponders can be home-run
(individual), daisy-chain (device to device), or a
combination of both. T-Tapping is also acceptable. The
recommended cable is 4-conductor, twisted pair,
non-shielded, 22 AWG (0.8 mm [0.03 in.]).
