Wire from the last SRM-312 to the next SRM-312 and so on; then from the first SRM-312 to
the Fire Alarm Panel. There are only two connections to be made, one for power and one for
the RS-485 loop.
The RS-485 Wiring to the SRM-312 is recommended to be Twisted Shielded Pair. The wire
gauge may be:
• 22 AWG up to2000 ft.
• 20 AWG up to4000 ft.
The 24V DC field wiring needs to be of an appropriate gauge for the number of smart relays
and the total wiring run length. See Current Drain for Battery Calculations, page 10 and
calculate the Maximum current for all smart relays summed together.
Note: Ensure that the 120 E.O.L. resistor is connected to the RS-485 positive and
negative terminals on the last SRM-312.
Note: All circuits are power limited and must use type FPL, FPLR or FPLP Power
Limited Cable.
Caution: Accidentally connecting any of the 24V DC wires to the RS-485
wiring will result in damage to the Annunciator and/or to the Fire
Alarm Control Panel to which it is connected.
