Connecting Fire Circuits
For 4-wire installation, program the activation event so that the smoke detectors can be reset by simultaneously pressing CLEAR and ENTER for three seconds (see
event group 06 on page 21). For 2-wire installation, press
CLEAR and ENTER simultaneously to automatically reset smoke detectors (not applicable to SP5500, SP4000,
SP65).
WARNING: It is recommended that smoke detectors be connected in a daisy-chain configuration. Each control panel, except for the SP4000, SP5500, and
SP65, supports a maximum of five 2-wire smoke detectors.
Alarm Relay and PGM Connections
AC Power & Backup Battery Connections
Demonstration or Emergency System Power-up without an AC Source
To power-up the control panel for demonstration or emergency purposes only, use a standard 12 VDC, 4 Ah/7 Ah backup battery. To power the control panel using
a backup battery:
1. Connect the battery to the control panel's
BATT terminal.
2. Use a wire to short the battery's negative terminal to the panel's
AUX- terminal.
