2.9.8 Wire Requirements for a Four-wire SLC
Measuring Loop Resistance for a Four-wire SLC
The total DC resistance of the SLC pair cannot exceed 40 ohms. Measure DC resistance
as shown in Figure 25. For detailed UL wiring requirements, refer to Appendix F.
1. Disconnect the SLC Out and SLC Return at the control panel.
2. Short the two leads of SLC Return.
3. Measure the resistance across the SLC Out leads (Figure 25).
