Wire Requirements
D.2 MS-5UD-7(C/E) & MS-10UD-7(C/E) NAC Wiring
The following table lists NAC wiring requirements for the MS-5UD-7(C/E) & MS-10UD-7(C/E)
FACP which utilizes the FLPS-7 power supply.
NOTE: These distances reflect the worst case scenario and are based on the correct draw of the
highest candela strobes at the low end of the supported NAC voltage with the entire load at the
end of the circuit. Further distances can be achieved by performing a point to point voltage
calculation that more accurately reflects the specific devices used and how they are dispersed on
the circuit.

Table D.3 NAC Wiring Requirements for FACP with FLPS-7 Power Supply
NOTE: Calculations are based on Direct-Current Resistance data for uncoated copper wire, per
National Electrical Code (2005 Edition) Table 8, Conductor Properties.
NOTE: These distances reflect the worst case scenario and are based on the correct draw of the
highest candela strobes at the low end of the supported NAC voltage with the entire load at the
end of the circuit. Further distances can be achieved by performing a point to point voltage
calculation that more accurately reflects the specific devices used and how they are dispersed on
the circuit.
