Section 2: Wiring Requirements

2.1 Wire Sizing

The SLC requires use of a specific wire type, depending on the mode of operation, to ensure proper
circuit functioning. Wire size should be no smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm
AWG (3.25 mm
that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference.
2.1.1 CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) Mode
All addressable FACPs can operate in CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode. It is
recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair and shielded when operating in CLIP mode to reduce
the effects of electrical interference. Use the table below to determine the specific wiring requirements
for the SLC.

2.1.2 LiteSpeed Mode
The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS SLC can be programmed to operate in
LiteSpeed mode for a quicker device response time. While shielded wire is not required, it is
recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference.
Use the following table to determine the specific wiring requirements for the SLC.
