provides a platform for the installation of up to 8 (two rows
of 4) standard monitor and/or control modules. Wiring and
mounting requirements of the modules are reduced by using the MB500.
The MB500 will support any combination of monitor and
control modules on one panel, but a combination of powerlimited and nonpower-limited modules is NOT permitted.
The monitor and control modules used with the MB500
meet the same electrical specifications as the individual
M500MB, M500CH, and M502M.

Mounting
1) Select the desired mounting location in a cabinet and
measure the mounting hole centers. The MB500 is
equipped with 3 sets of mounting holes for use depending on the mounting configuration:
A) 19 inch EIA standard with 18.312 inch (46.5 cm) cen-
ter-to-center mounting holes for horizontal mounting
B) 19.5 inch (49.5 cm) center-to-center mounting holes
for horizontal mounting
C) 5 inch (12.7 cm) center-to-center mounting holes for
vertical mounting
2) Hold the MB500 in place, mark the appropriate set of
mounting holes, and drill holes (if needed) in the
mounting surface.
3) Drive screws in place, allowing room for the MB500 to
slide over the screw heads.
4) Tighten screws to secure the MB500 to the mounting
surface.
WARNING
Remove power before installing modules and wiring the
MB500 panel.
Address Verification
Before installing the modules onto the panel, use the label
in position A (see Figure 3A) to record the type for each
module. Circle C (control) or M (monitor) to indicate the
type of module and record the address on the space provided.

Module Mounting
Before placing the individual modules onto the MB500, remove the terminal screws on the modules and break off the
"ears" at the scored section on the module junction box
mounting plate (see Figure 3B). Now the modules can be
plugged into the board. Line up the clips mounted on the

Wiring Installation

Once the control and/or monitor modules have been
plugged in, begin wiring the panel. Field wiring is completed using screw terminals accessible from the 6-inch
long sides of the MB500. The seven-position screw terminals accept 14- to 22-gauge wire and are two-tiered for easy
wiring. A two-position screw terminal block is used for the
common power wiring that exists between the modules
and accepts 12- to 18-gauge wire.
Figure 4. Mounting a module on the MB500:
Make wire connections by stripping about 1/4 inch (0.64
cm) of insulation from the end of the wire. Connect the
communication line to terminals 1 and 2. For specific module wiring, match the module location to the correct terminal strip. Refer to the control and/or monitor module
instruction manual for specific application wiring.
NOTE: The communication circuit to all modules is desig-
nated power limited. The remaining circuits must
be wired as either all power limited or all
nonpower limited. Refer to marking on individual
modules.
NOTE: When wiring modules for nonpower-limited appli-
cations, the wires to terminals 3-9 on each terminal
strip must be bundled together with wire ties and
routed through conduit, keeping them separated
from communication lines 1 and 2 (comm. - and
comm. +) by a minimum of
1
/4 inch at all points
(see Figures 5A and 5B). Communication line 1
and 2 wiring must also be routed through its own
conduit.
