LX-Bus™ Operation
6.1 Description
The XR2500F Command Processor™ panel supports LX-Bus operation directly from the panel. Each LX-Bus
circuit provides 100 additional zones. Use J22 LX-Bus Header for the first 100 zones. Use the installed 481
Zone Expansion Interface Card for the next 100 zones. This provides a total of 200 expansion zones. To
install up to four additional Interface Cards use a Model 461 Interface Adaptor Card.
6.2 XR2500F On-board LX-Bus
To enable J22 to operate as an LX-Bus, place a jumper on the two pins next to the letter “L” on the J23
6-Pin header. When using J22 as an LX-Bus, connect a DMP Model 300 4-wire Harness to the J22 4-pin
header labeled LX-BUS. This provides the first 100 LX-Bus zones numbered 500-599. Respect wire colors
when connecting devices and use all four wires. Reset the panel using the J16 jumper to activate LX-Bus
operation.		See	Connecting	LX-Bus	and	Keypad	Devices	section	for	maximum	wiring	distances.
Note:	Do	NOT	use	shielded	wire	when	using	the	LX-Bus.		Do	NOT	connect	the	wires	from	the	4-wire	harness	
to the panel terminals.
6.3 LX-Bus 481 Zone Expansion Interface Card
The 481 Zone Expansion Interface Card provides an additional 100 zones to the XR2500F. When used in
conjunction with the on-board J22 LX-Bus the 481 LX-Bus zones are numbered 600 to 699.
6.4 Installing the 481 Card
Remove AC and battery power from the XR2500F panel and ground yourself before handling and
installing the 481 Card.
1.	Align	the	481	Card	50	pin	connector	with	the	XR2500F	panel	J6	connector.
2.	Press	the	481	onto	the	J6	connector	while	applying	even	pressure	to	both	sides.
