Direct Connect Wiring Option

When networking a group of IFP-2000s and/or RPS-2000s within a 20 foot radius of each
other, you may use the direct connect method to link the panels together in the site.The cable
used must be shielded twisted pair communication grade cable. See Figure 5-1, direct connect
wiring option. The direct connect wiring option uses a BUS configuration. There are no T-taps
or class A wiring options.
5.3.1

Installing using Direct Connection within a Site:

1. Mount the IFP-2000 and /or RPS-2000 panels within 20 feet of conduit run distance from
each other. Place the conduit for routing the direct connect networking cable between
panels in a bus configuration as shown above in Figure 5-1
2. Make the network wiring connections. The cable used must be shielded twisted pair 18
gauge or larger wire. See Figure 5-2 for the DIP switch termination settings for Direct
Connect wire option. Run one of the twisted pair wires from the NETWORK A terminal
on one panel to the NETWORK A terminal on the next panel. Use the other wire of the
twisted pair to connect the NETWORK B terminals together. Run the network ground
connection using the twisted pair shield between the NETWORK GND terminal on both
panels. Repeat this for each additional panel until all A, B and GND terminals are wired
together as a BUS.
