RS-485 Bus Wire Run Limitations
The RS-485 bus from the first Panel Linking Module to
the last Panel Linking Module cannot exceed 4000 feet,
using 16-AWG twisted-pair cable.
The recommended form of wiring is to daisy chain the
connection from one unit to another. If several
buildings are to be connected, the RS-485 bus should
form a continuous path from one building to the next.
Avoid wiring units in a star configuration, where
multiple branches are formed. Star configurations
create loading and capacitance problems that are
complex, and become difficult to troubleshoot.
Mounting and Wiring the Panel Link Module
•
The PLM will not operate until the device is
enabled in the control’s
Device
Programming
in
#93 Menu Mode
.
•
Do not mount the PLM on the cabinet door
or attempt to attach it to the PC board.
To mount and wire the Panel Link Module, refer to
Figure 3-28
and
perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Remove all power from the control panel
before making any wiring connections.
2 Mount the module in the control cabinet if
space is available or, adjacent to the cabinet,
using 2-faced adhesive tape.
3 Set the PLM’s DIP switches for a device
address between 01 and 30. See the module’s
instructions for the DIP switch table.
Do not use an address being used by another
device (keypads, RF receivers, etc.).
4 Connect the 12V (+) and (–) and data-out and
data-in connections from the PLM to the
control’s keypads terminals (6, 7, 8, and 9),
respectively.
5 Connect the 3-wire RS-485 cable between
each PLM. Recommended wiring is to bring
the wires “in” from one module (or control
panel) to terminals 5 (+), 6 (-), and 7 (G) and
“out” to the next module from terminals TB1-
8 (+), 9 (-), and 10 (G).

Long Range Radio Connected to the J7 Triggers
These triggers may be used to trip auxiliary alarm
signaling equipment such as ADEMCO’s 7720,
7720ULF, and 7920SE Long Range Radios.
The triggers are common to all partitions and must be
enabled for each partition (field 2
✳
20).
The fire and burglary/audible panic alarm triggers are
normally LOW and go HIGH until a
User Code + OFF
is entered in all enabled partition(s) that display these
conditions.
The silent panic/duress trigger latches HIGH, except
for duress, which is momentary.
Refer to the installation instructions that accompany
your radio for the connections to the control panel.
