which can be obtained from your local dealer or downloaded from the DSC web site at www.dsc.com.
NOTE: All necessary information required to meet UL Listing requirements is contained in this document.
Read the complete guide, then work through each step as indicated.
Refer to the Reference Manual for additional devices.

Hardware Installation
Begin the installation by mounting the cabinet in a dry protected area with access to unswitched AC power.
Install Hardware in the sequence indicated below. Do NOT apply power until installation is complete.
NOTE: All wiring entry points are designated by arrows. All circuits are classified UL power limited except for the battery leads.
Minimum 1/4” (6.4mm) separation must be maintained at all points between power limited and non-power limited wiring and
connections.
1. Keybus Wiring
The 4-wire KEYBUS (red, black, yellow and green) is the communication connection between the control panel and all modules. The 4 KEYBUS terminals of all modules must be connected to the 4 KEYBUS terminals of the main control panel.
The following rules must be followed when wiring the Keybus:
•Minimum 22 AWG wire, maximum 18 AWG (2-wire twisted preferred
•Do NOT use shielded wire
•Modules can be home run, connected in series or can be Ttapped provided that the maximum wire distance from the control
panel to any module does not exceed 1,000 feet (305m)
•No more than 3,000 feet (915m) of wire can be used in total
2. Zone Wiring
Zones can be wired for Normally Open, Normally Closed Contacts
with Single-end-of-line (SEOL) resistors or Double End-of-Line
(DEOL) resistors. Observe the following guidelines
•For UL Listed Installations use SEOL or DEOL only.
•Minimum 22 AWG wire, maximum 18 AWG
•Do NOT use shielded wire
•Wire run resistance shall not exceed 100
below.

3. Bell Wiring
These terminals supply 700mA of current at 12VDC for commercial
installations and 11.1-12.6 V
SD-15 WULF). To comply with NFPA 72 Temporal Three Pattern
requirements:
Program Section [013] Opt [8]ON.
The Bell output is supervised and power limited. If unused, connect a
1000Ω resistor across Bell+ and Bell- to prevent the panel from displaying a trouble. See [][2].

FIXED and PERMANENTLY connected and is designed to be
installed by service persons only; [service person is defined as a
person having the appropriate technical training and experience
necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be
exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the risks
to that person or other persons.]
b)The connection to the mains supply must be made as per the local
authorities rules and regulations.
An appropriate disconnect device must be provided as part of the
building installation. Where it is not possible to rely on identification of
the neutral in the AC Mains supply the disconnecting device must
disconnect both poles simultaneously (line and neutral). The device
shall disconnect the supply during servicing.
c)The equipment enclosure must be secured to the building structure
before operation.
e)Internal wiring must be routed in a manner that prevents:
- Excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections;
- Loosening of terminal; connections;
- Damage of conductor insulation
f) Disposal of the used batteries shall be made according to the waste
recovery and recycling regulations applicable to the intended market.
g) Before servicing, DISCONNECT the telephone connection.

Battery
StandbyTime:
24Hrs min.
Inspect wiring and ensure connections are correct before applying power.
Incorrect connection of batteries may result in battery rupture or Fire Hazard.
Do NOT allow metal objects to connect the Positive and Negative Terminals.
Ensure that batteries are connected with correct polarity (Red to (+), Black to (-)).
Failure to comply with this may result in battery rupture and/or Fire Hazard.
All circuits are classified for UL Installations as Power Limited/Class II Power Limited
except for battery leads which are not power limited.
Do NOT route any wiring over circuit boards. Maintain at least 1"(25.4mm) separation.
A minimum of 1/4" (6.4mm) separation must be maintained at all points between
power limited wiring and all other non-power limited wiring.
