ANN-BUS DEVICE ADDRESSING
Each ANN-BUS device requires a unique address (ID Number)
in order to communicate with the FACP. A maximum of 8 devices
can be connected to the FACP ANN-BUS communication circuit.
See the FACP manual for more information.
WIRE REQUIREMENTS: COMMUNICATIONS CIRCUIT
The N-ANN-80 connects to the FACP ANN-BUS communica-
tions circuit. To determine the type of wire and the maximum wir-
ing distance that can be used with FACP ANN-BUS accessory
modules, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current
draw for all modules on a single 4-conductor bus. The total worst
case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst
case currents for each module.
NOTE: For total worst case current draw on a single ANN-BUS
refer to appropriate FACP manual.
After calculating the total worst case current draw, the following
table specifies the maximum distance the modules can be
located from the FACP on a single wire run. The table ensures
6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is lim-
ited by resistance, but for heavier wire gauges, capacitance is
the limiting factor.
These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maxi-
mum length can never be more than 6,000 feet (1,800 m),
regardless of gauge used. See table below.
WIRE REQUIREMENTS: POWER CIRCUIT
• 14 to 18 AWG (0.75 - 2.08 mm
2
) wire for 24 VDC power cir-
cuit is acceptable.
• All connections are power-limited and supervised.
• A maximum of eight N-ANN-80 modules may be connected
to this circuit.
