WARNING Several different sources of power can be connected to this fire alarm control unit.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment
may be damaged by servicing while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install,
service, or operate this control unit until this manual is read and understood.
System Re-acceptance Test after Re-Programming: To ensure proper system operation, this
system must be retested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 10 after any programming
CAUTION change. Re-acceptance testing is also required after any addition or deletion of system
components, and after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits and system operations known to be affected by a change must be
100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least
10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50
devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets UL/FM requirements for operation at 32°-120°F (0 to 49°C) and at a relative humidity of 93%
(non-condensing) @ 90°F (32.2°C). However, the useful life of the system’s standby batteries and the electronic
components may be adversely effected by continuous operation at these environmental limits. Therefore, it is
recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room
temperature of 60-80°F.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to
lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference,
proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. The use of overhead or outside aerial wiring is not
recommended due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Applications
Engineering Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Do not install electronic assemblies prior to mounting and attaching conduit for field wiring to the enclosure.
Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery and printed circuit board locations. Do
not over tighten screw terminals. Over tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact
pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before
handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect
electronic assemblies removed from the control unit.
Follow the instructions in this manual. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control unit
and associated equipment. System operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
Fire Alarm System Limitations While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance
rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system – typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, notification
appliances, and a fire alarm control unit with remote-notification capability – can provide early warning of a developing
fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors on one level also may not sense a fire on another level
or floor of a building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire.
Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors, both ionization and photoelectric types, have sensing limitations. No type of
smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches, or arson.
GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES The following must be observed to maintain personnel safety.
The following general safety notices supplement specific warnings and cautions appearing in the manual. The
safety precautions in this section must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance. This
manual is to be used by trained distributors/technicians. The entire manual should be read and fully understood
prior to installation.
FIRST AID
Any injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or medical attention
immediately.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The following general safety precautions are to be observed at all times:
1. All electrical components associated with equipment shall be installed and grounded in accordance with
NEC and local regulatory requirements.
2. Special precautionary measures are essential to prevent applying power to equipment at any time mainte-
nance work is in progress.
3. Before working on electrical equipment, use a voltmeter to ensure that system is not energized.
4. When working near electricity, do not use metal rulers, flashlights, metallic pencils, or any other objects hav-
ing exposed conductive material.
5. When connecting a meter to terminals for measurement, use a voltage range higher than expected voltage to
be measured.
A caution identifies a procedure, practice, or statement, which, if not strictly followed, could
result in programming errors, impairment of equipment operation, or equipment damage.
CAUTION

The FENWALNET 6000 uses the SmartOne™ Series of intelligent smoke and heat detectors. These
detectors have their own data transceivers, micro-controllers, micro-controller memory, and
algorithms that allow the detectors to determine whether a normal, pre-alarm, alarm, or trouble
condition exists at their monitoring locations. Each detector continuously transmits its current status
to the FENWALNET 6000 through the signaling line circuit, and responds to control unit polling and
inquiries by the address that is set in the detector using the Handheld Programmer,
P/N 74-200013-001, or using the FENWALNET 6000’s display. The pre-alarm and alarm thresholds
are programmable for each detector.
A blinking LED on an intelligent detector indicates communications between the detector and
the control unit.
The Model CPD-7052 Ionization Smoke Detector is a low-profile, intelligent smoke detector
that uses an ionization sensing chamber. This detector can be utilized for open-area coverage
or can be mounted in a duct with air velocities up to 2,000 feet per minute.
Ionization detectors respond best to small smoke particles characteristic of flaming fires, and
are used primarily in areas where such fires are anticipated. They are also used in special
extinguishing systems as one criterion to release the extinguishing agent. See Figure 1-9.
Note: Older-style Model CPD-7040 Ionization Detectors may be used with the FENWALNET
6000 Control Unit.
The Model PSD-7152 Photoelectric Smoke Detector is a low-profile, intelligent smoke detector
that uses a light-scattering sensing chamber. This detector can be utilized for open-area
coverage or can be mounted in a duct with air velocities up to 4,000 feet per minute.
Photoelectric detectors respond best to large smoke particles characteristic of smoldering fires,
and are used primarily in areas where such fires are anticipated and in high-velocity underfloor
applications. They are also used in special extinguishing systems as one criterion to release the
extinguishing agent. See Figure 1-9.
Note: Older-style Model PSD-7140 Photoelectric Detectors may be used with the
FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit.
The Model THD-7252 Thermal Detector is a low-profile, intelligent heat detector that uses a
thermistor sensing chamber for fast response. This detector can be used for open-area
coverage on low (< 10 ft.), flat ceilings with a spacing up to 70 ft. Smaller coverage is required
for high ceilings and ceilings with structural obstructions.
The Model MA-002 Detector Base Adapter allows the low-profile SmartOne detectors to be
retrofitted into the older-style SmartOne detector base, P/N 70-400000-001.
The Model DH-2000 Duct Housing is used to enclose an intelligent smoke detector that is
monitoring for smoke in an air duct and is located outside of the duct. The duct housing is used
with inlet and outlet tubes that allow the air in the duct to be sampled uniformly and
transported to the enclosed smoke detector for obscuration-level measurement.
Note: Older-style DH-4000 Duct Housings with Model CPD-7040 Ionization Detectors or
Model PSD-7140 Photoelectric Detectors may be used with the FENWALNET 6000
Control Unit.

Each addressable module continuously transmits its current status to the FENWALNET 6000 Control
Unit via the signaling line circuit, and responds to control unit polling, inquiries, and activation
commands by the address that is set in the module using the Handheld Programmer,
P/N 74-200013-001, or using the FENWALNET 6000’s display.
The Model AI Addressable Monitor Module is used to monitor conventional, unpowered, contact-type
initiating devices through a Class-B, Style-B initiating device circuit. The AI, P/N 70-4070X8-001, is
used to monitor normally-open, contact-type initiating devices such as manual stations, waterflow
switches, and supervisory switches. The AI, P/N 70-4070X8-002, is used to monitor normally-closed,
contact-type initiating devices such as older-style supervisory switches.
The AI Modules are designed to be mounted in the electrical box of the device being monitored.

between the conduit and the back box. Consult approved electrical installation drawings
for connection information.
• Installing conduit.
Route properly-sized conduit from the control-unit back box to locations designated on
the approved layout drawings for peripheral devices. Refer to the locations of the
automatic and manual initiating devices, notification appliances, remote display/control
modules, control heads for the extinguishing system, and addressable relay modules on
the system drawings.
• Electrical Boxes.
Install an electrical box at each designated location for peripheral devices such as
automatic and manual initiating devices, notification appliances, control heads for the
extinguishing system, and addressable relay modules. Refer to the installation
instructions included with the peripheral devices for the proper types of electrical boxes.
• Electrical wiring
Route the properly-sized and required wiring through conduit from the control unit to the
field devices. Observe the wiring manufacturer’s recommended minimum bending radii
for all internal-control-unit and external wiring. Use appropriate equipment to check and
record the wiring for insulation resistance to earth ground. Measure and record the
wiring resistance for all external circuits. Also measure and the record the SLC wiring
capacitance. Refer to the approved electrical installation drawings and to the
recommendations in this manual.
• Wiring Connections and SmartOne Devices.
Mount and make wiring connections to the peripheral devices as shown in their
installation instructions. Be sure that all SLC-based SmartOne devices have been
electronically addressed prior to installation.

The primary AC power for the FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit is 120 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 3.2 A or
220/240 Vac, 50/60Hz, 1.6A. The default power configuration is 120 Vac and will require
resetting for 220/240 Vac operation. Configuration of primary AC power requires that the
power-selection switch on the side of the power supply be set correctly before the power supply
is installed in the enclosure, and that Switch S4 in the lower-left corner of the printed-circuit
board be set to agree with the primary AC power being used. Refer to Paragraph 2-5.
Over-current protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and/or the local electrical code. Use a grounded power cord of #14 AWG or larger
wire with 600 Vac rating to make the AC power connection to the control unit. Follow the
procedure below to make AC power connections.
1. Disconnect all power sources from the control unit and the AC power cord
2. Run AC-input wiring to the left side of the enclosure, and preferably, use the lowest of the
three knock-outs on the left-hand side as the entry point for primary power.
3. Connect the primary power earth-ground (green) wire to the lower Earth Ground stud on
the left inside of the enclosure.
4. Connect the neutral (white) wire to the Main Circuit Board Terminal Block TB13
labeled ‘N’ (Neutral).
5. Connect the hot (black) wire to the Main Circuit Board Terminal Block TB13 labeled
‘L’ (Line).
6. Remove the AC Safety Cover, 3/4” nylon spacer, and 1-1/8” nylon screw from the

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM OPERATIONS
The FENWALNET 6000 System uses field-programmable software. Refer to the Configuration Software
User’s Guide in P/N 74-600000-008 for instructions on how to program the FENWALNET 6000
System.
This section instructs the end-user how to operate a FENWALNET 6000 System, including how to
distinguish the different operating states, how to use the operator keys, and what the status indicating
LEDs mean.
Refer also to the Operating Instructions, P/N 06-236405-001, that are packaged with the FENWALNET
6000 Control Unit.
The FENWALNET 6000 system has two operating modes: Normal and Off-Normal. Normal
Mode is characterized by the absence of any initiating signals from either automatic detectors
or monitor modules, and by the absence of trouble conditions. Off-Normal Mode is triggered
by system events or operator interrogation via the keypad. Off-Normal Mode operating states
are listed in Table 3-1.
Access-Via-Menu A operator uses the keypad to isolate initiating devices and/or outputs, list configuration
settings and the application program, adjust configuration settings, or manually initiate
testing procedures.
Trouble A report of a problem that could prevent the FENWALNET 6000 System from proper
operation. Typical trouble signals include: Lack of response from a configured device on the
signaling line circuit; Internal fault reported by a SmartOne detector; Loss of monitoring
integrity of the installation conductors; Power-supply fault; and/or Loss of primary AC
power.
Alarm An automatic spot-type smoke or heat detector or a high-sensitivity smoke detector senses a
fire signature that is greater than the detector's programmable alarm threshold, or when a
monitor module programmed as a manual-alarm, manual-release, waterflow or general-
alarm point activates.
Pre-Alarm An automatic spot-type smoke, heat detector or a high-sensitivity smoke detector senses a
fire signature that is greater than a programmable, lower-level warning threshold but less
than the detector's programmable alarm threshold.
Supervisory A monitor module detects a condition such as gate-valve closure, low air pressure or water
level, or pump failure that could impair the operation of a building's sprinkler system. It
also enters this state when an operator isolates any initiating or control devices or control-
unit-based output circuits. This mode is primarily event-driven.
contained in the system’s event output control (EOC) program. The EOC program is
triggered by any event that transitions the system from the Normal Mode to an event-
driven, Off-Normal operating state.
Note: All alarm events must be annunciated by public-mode notification.
Operator keys for the FENWALNET 6000 System are located on the display inside the control
unit. The control unit door must be open to access the operator keys.
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the operator keys and status indicating LEDs on the display.
Table 3-2 lists the names and functions of the operator keys on the display.

Supervisory, or Trouble LEDs will light steadily when all active events have been
acknowledged.
<SILENCE> Pressing the <SILENCE> Key after all current alarm events have been acknowledged
shuts off any active, silenceable control-unit-based or signaling-line-circuit-based outputs,
such as notification-appliance circuits or control modules.
Note: There is a 10-second buffer period during which subsequent presses of the
<SILENCE> Key are intentionally ignored. A subsequent key press will only be acted
upon after at least 10 seconds have elapsed since the previous key press.
<RESET> The <RESET> Key restores the FENWALNET 6000 System to Normal Mode after all
alarm system events have been acknowledged and have ceased reporting alarm
conditions.
<SCROLL> The <SCROLL> Key allows the operator to view all currently-active events by time of
occurrence. Also used to navigate through the menu options.
NUMERIC KEYPAD (0-9) Used to enter passwords, navigate through the menu options, and specify numeric

Isolation Device and The isolation commands prevent the FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit from acting
Circuit Isolation upon signals from initiating devices or from issuing activation commands to control-
unit-based and SLC-based outputs. The initiating devices and outputs remain
operational, but are disconnected from the control unit in the sense that events
reported by isolated initiating devices are ignored by the control unit and commands
to activate are ignored by isolated outputs and control modules.
List Listing of Events The list commands are used to view the set of isolated initiating devices and control-
and System unit-based and SLC-based outputs. These commands are also used to display
Settings configuration settings for automatic initiating devices, to display the list of devices on
the SLC and to view lower-level events that are not displayed due to the occurrence of
higher-level events.
Set Change The set commands allow the installer to change the sensitivity settings for Smart-One
Operating automatic initiating devices, to address and register initiating and control devices, or
Parameters to define global operating parameters such as Global Acknowledgement of trouble
and supervisory events. These commands are also used to trigger automatic
configuration routines such as AutoLearn and AutoSetup.
Test Confirming The test commands enable service personnel to test the SmartOne initiating devices
Proper for the ability to transmit alarm signals. You can also perform alarm-simulation tests

3-2.5.4.8 How To Reset the Control Unit After an Alarm Condition
The FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit will not reset and resume normal
operations unless it has received Alarm Off messages from all previously
alarmed initiating devices. This means, for example, that:
• All automatic initiating devices such as smoke detectors are measuring
obscuration levels below their programmed alarm thresholds
• All manual stations have been reset and are in non-activated positions
• Sprinkler system water has been shut off and all waterflow switches have
stopped reporting discharge conditions
Press the <RESET> Key to resume normal operations after all alarm-initiating
devices have transmitted Alarm Off messages.
Note: It is possible that one or more trouble and/or supervisory messages will
be reported after the system-reset operation is performed. For example,
a special extinguishing system may need to be recharged or a sprinkler
gate valve may be in an off-normal position. Servicing personnel must
take prompt action to restore the system to normal operating
conditions.
Do not use the following special smoke-detector configurations for releasing applications.
WARNING
Two special alarm states are positive alarm sequence and alarm verification.
3-2.5.5.1 Positive Alarm Sequence
The Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) is designed to give on-site personnel time to
investigate a fire-alarm report from a smoke detector and to prevent an
evacuation signal from being generated in the event of a spurious fire-signature
detection or an inconsequential fire-alarm report. See Chapter 6 of NFPA 72,
National Fire Alarm Code, 2002 Edition, for further details. Refer to the
FENWALNET 6000 User's Programming Guide to configure a smoke detector
for PAS operation.
The PAS State occurs when the FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit receives an
emergency signal from a smoke detector configured for PAS.
The upper line of the LCD display shows the event by the device address, the
change of state, and the device type. The lower line indicates the up-to-40-
character message assigned to the alarm-initiating device using the
FENWALNET 6000 configuration program.

The following actions also occur when any supervisory condition is reported:
• The Supervisory LED flashes
• The internal buzzer pulses
• The supervisory event is stored in the event log
• The supervisory message is transmitted to peripheral devices such as RDCMs
and ATM-Ls, if applicable
• The supervisory message is communicated via the RS-232 ports
• Point- or group-specific and general supervisory outputs will activate, including
previously-silenced outputs.
3-2.5.6.1 What to Do When a Supervisory Event Occurs
Press the <ACKNOWLEDGE> Key to change the Supervisory LED from
flashing to steady and to silence the internal buzzer.
It will be necessary to press the <ACKNOWLEDGE> Key once for each
supervisory event if multiple unacknowledged supervisory events are
present and the multiple-supervisory-event-acknowledgment option has
not been selected. See Paragraph 3-2.5.2.4.33 to enable the multiple-
supervisory-event-acknowledgment option.
Each acknowledged supervisory event (or block of supervisory events when
multiple event acknowledgment is used) will disappear from the display after
acknowledgment. The display changes to indicate the next unacknowledged
supervisory event in the case of multiple supervisory events. The active
supervisory events can be manually displayed in order of occurrence using the
<SCROLL> Key at this time after all supervisory events have been
acknowledged. A summary of the number of active supervisory events will be
displayed as shown in Figure 3-22 at the conclusion of each manual scroll cycle.
Pre-Alarm-On Indication
Device-Specific

OUTPUTS SILENCED
Pre-Alarm State The pre-alarm state occurs when any automatic detector that is a member of a crossed-zoned or
counting-zone detection system issues an alarm report. The pre-alarm state for a property-
protection/mission-continuity system with waterless fire suppression typically refers to the receipt of
an alarm signal from a spot-type smoke detector or an HSSD. The pre-alarm state described in
Paragraph 3-2.5.7 dealt with essentially a warning signal from an automatic detector that the fire
signature at a specific location had exceeded a user-configurable, low-level threshold value. That pre-
alarm signal did not create an actual alarm.
The pre-alarm state discussed here should not be confused with the pre-alarm state
discussed in Paragraph 3-2.5.7.
The pre-alarm state must be annunciated by distinctive public-mode notification.
Pre-Release State The pre-release state occurs when two automatic detectors (one detector from each of the two
crossed zones or any two detectors in a counting zone) issue an alarm report. The discharge
criterion for the waterless fire-suppression system is attained when the pre-release state occurs.
The pre-release state is also referred to as the countdown state because it typically triggers a
time-delay period that precedes the discharge of the waterless fire-suppression system.
The pre-release state must be annunciated by public-mode notification different from the pre-
alarm state public notification mode.
Release State The release state occurs when the waterless fire-suppression system discharges at the
conclusion of the time-delay period.
The release state can also be triggered without a time delay by a manual-release station. It is
also common practice to trigger a pre-action-sprinkler system concurrently with the discharge
of the waterless suppression system.
The release state must be annunciated by public-mode notification different from both the pre-
alarm-state and pre-release-state public notification modes.
Abort State The abort state occurs when an abort switch is manually activated to interrupt or prevent the
start of the countdown timer whose expiration will trigger the discharge of the waterless fire-
suppression system.

INSPECTION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
The FENWALNET 6000 System must be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 72 (2002), Chapter 10, or in accordance with the inspection, testing and
maintenance schedule mandated by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Follow the required inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures for the associated extinguishing
system(s) as directed by the manufacturer and by the standards and codes that apply to those systems.
Do not attempt any testing or maintenance of the FENWALNET 6000 System until
you have:
WARNING
• Isolated all releasing outputs via the Isolate function.
• Physically disconnected the wiring to initiator assemblies (if used) from the release-
circuit terminals, shorted the leads together, and wrapped the leads in insulating tape
• Physically disconnected all control heads (if used) from their associated agent-storage-
container discharge valves
• Physically disconnected the wiring to solenoid valves (if used) for pre-action/deluge
sprinkler systems
• Ensured that emergency operations controlled by this system such as facility power
shutoff are bypassed
• Notified personnel in the facility and at off-premises monitoring locations that
you are working on the system and that you will inform them when system
servicing has ended.
Perform the following tests as part of each semi-annual or annual system inspection:
Test the LEDs on the control unit's display by using the procedure in Paragraph 3-2.5.2.5.14.
Replace the display's membrane if any LED fails to illuminate.
Test the standby batteries by using the procedure in Paragraph 3-2.5.2.5.7. Replace all
batteries if either the charging voltage or current do not fall within the specified ranges.
Replace batteries every three years, or more frequently as recommended by the battery
manufacturer. Fenwal provides the following batteries:
The FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit automatically tests all of the initiating devices connected
to the signaling line circuit on a daily basis.
You should re-test the initiating devices by using the procedure in Paragraph 3-2.5.2.5.1.
Investigate any "Device-Failed" messages and replace any defective initiating devices as
appropriate.
Verify that the system continues to operate in accordance with its approved sequence of
operation. Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 show a typical sequence of operation for a waterless fire-
suppression system.
Note: These figures are for example only. Every system is unique and requires its own approved
sequence of operation.

CHAPTER 6
PARTS LIST
6-1 INTRODUCTION
The complete assemblies, sub-assemblies, and compatible peripheral devices associated with the
FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit are listed in the following tables.
The FENWALNET 6000 System requires a separate, dedicated connection to an AC branch circuit (120
Vac, 50/60 Hz, 3.2 A or 220/240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 1.6 A) that must be labeled “Fire Alarm.” This branch
circuit must connect to the line side of the main power connection for the premises. No other
equipment can be powered from the fire-alarm branch circuit.
The branch-circuit wire must run continuously, without any disconnection devices, from the source of
AC power to the FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit. Over-current protection for this branch circuit must
comply with Article 760 of the National Electric Code and any other local electrical codes. Use a
minimum wire size of #14 AWG, with 600-volt insulation, for this branch circuit

Consider a FENWALNET 6000 Control Unit that is monitoring a waterless extinguishing system for a
data-processing center. The automatic detection system consists of ten (10) Model PSD-7152
Photoelectric Detectors and ten (10) Model CPD-7052 Ionization Detectors, crossed-zoned in such a
manner that the activation of at least one photoelectric detector and one ionization detector is required
to automatically discharge the waterless extinguishing system. The initiating system also includes eight
Model AI Monitor Modules for manual-release, abort, and sprinkler-supervisory requirements. Four
(4) Model AO Relay Control Modules are being utilized for remote control function such as airflow
shutoff and power shutdown. One AO activates at pre-alarm, two additional AOs activate at pre-release,
and the final AO activates upon extinguishing-system discharge.
Six (6) Model NS-24MC combination horn/strobes (75 cd) are used for occupant notification. The
horns are activated during the pre-alarm condition. The strobes are activated at pre-release, and
remain on until the system is reset.
A Model 486500-01 Control Head is being used to activate the waterless extinguishing system. A pre-
action sprinkler system, controlled by an FM-Approved, Group B solenoid, will be activated
concurrently with the waterless extinguishing system.
The system is using a Model RDCM Remote-Display Module for additional event annunciation. The
standby-battery calculation is shown in Table A-2.

For best results, use twisted, unshielded, low-capacitance, addressable-fire-alarm wire with a nominal
wire-to-wire capacitance of approximately 20 pf (picofarads, where 1 pf = 10-6 µF) per foot for the
signaling-line circuit. Typical wire types that meet these criteria are indicated below:
Determine the recommended wire size for a daisy-chained, Class-B, Style-4 SLC with 160 devices and
a total wire length of 7,500 feet. The total wire length is the sum of wiring for the positive and negative
SLC legs, and is not the linear distance from the control unit to the most-remote device.
Try #14 AWG wire. The total SLC wiring resistance is:
7,500 ft. x 2.525 ohms / 1,000 ft. = 18.9 ohms.
If Coleman Cable wire is selected, P/N 98141 (from Recommended Wire Listing), the total SLC wiring
capacitance is:
3,750 ft x 20 x 10-12 farads / ft. = 0.075 x 10-6 farads (or, 0.075 µF).
Determine the proper wire size for a Class-A, Style-6 SLC with 100 devices and a total wire length 7,000
feet. The total wire length is the sum of wiring for the positive and negative SLC legs for both the
primary and redundant communications circuits, and is not the linear distance from the control unit
to the most remote device.
Try #18 AWG wire first. The total SLC wiring resistance is using #18 AWG is:
7,000 ft. x 6.385 ohms / 1,000 ft. = 44.7 ohms.
The total SLC wiring resistance (44.7 ohms) when using #18 AWG wire exceeds the maximum SLC
wiring resistance of 40.0 ohms. Use larger wire.
Try #16 AWG next. The total SLC wiring resistance using #16 AWG is:
7,000 ft. x 4.016 ohms / 1,000 ft. = 28.1 ohms.
The total SLC wiring resistance (28.1 ohms) when using #16 AWG wire is less than the maximum SLC
wiring resistance of 40 ohms. The SLC wiring resistance using #16 AWG wire is acceptable.
If Coleman Cable wire is selected, P/N 98161 (from Recommended Wire Listing), the total SLC wiring
capacitance is:
3,500 ft x 20 x 10-12 farads / ft. = 0.07 x 10-6 farads (or, 0.07 µF).
