Table 1. Recommended Wire Sizes and Part Numbers.
a
The KDM, Data ControlBus Module™ (for remote mounting or communications) or Communication Interface ControlBus
Module must be wired in daisy chain configuration, 1(a)-1(a), 2(b)-2(b), 3(c)-3(c). The order of interconnection of all the
devices listed above is not important. Be aware that modules on the closest and farthest end of the daisy chain configuration
string require a 120 ohm (1/4 watt minimum) resistor termination across terminals 1 and 2 of the electrical connectors for
connections over 100 feet (31 meters).
Table 2. Recommended Grounding Practices.
Ground type
Recommended Practice
Earth ground (subbase and relay module).
1.
Use to provide a connection between the subbase and the control
panel of the equipment. Earth ground must be capable of conducting
enough current to blow the 20A fuse (or breaker) in the event of an
internal short circuit.
2.
Use wide straps or brackets to provide minimum length, maximum
surface area ground conductors. If a leadwire is required, use 14
AWG copper wire.
3.
Make sure that mechanically tightened joints along the ground path
are free of nonconductive coatings and protected against corrosion on
mating surfaces.
Signal ground (Keyboard Display Module, Data
Controlbus Module™, Communications Interface
ControlBus™ Module).
Use the shield of the signal wire to ground the device to the signal ground
terminals 3(c) of each device. Connect the shield at both ends of the daisy
chain to earth ground.
7. Recommended wire routing of leadwires:
a.
Do not run high voltage ignition transformer wires
in the same conduit with the flame detector, Data
ControlBus Module™, or Remote Reset Module
wiring.
b.
Do not route flame detector, Data ControlBus
Module™, or Remote Reset Module leadwires in
conduit with line voltage circuits.
c.
Enclose flame detector leadwires without armor
cable in metal cable or conduit.
d.
Follow directions in flame detector, Data
ControlBus Module™, or Remote Reset Module
Instructions.
8. The KDM is powered from a low voltage, energy limited
source. It can be mounted outside of a control panel if it
is protected from mechanical damage.
NOTE:
A 13 Vdc power supply must be used any time
more than one KDM is used. A maximum of
two KDM, Data ControlBus™ Modules or
S7810B Multi-Drop Switch Modules are
allowed in any combination.
9. Maximum wire lengths:
a.
RM7895A,B,C,D/EC7895A,C; RM7896A,B,C,D
leadwires: The maximum leadwire length is 300
feet (93 meters) to terminal inputs (Control,
Running/Lockout Interlock).
b.
Flame Detector leadwires: The maximum flame
sensor leadwire length is limited by the flame
signal strength.
c.
Remote Reset leadwires: The maximum length of
wire is 1000 feet (305 meters) to a Remote Reset
pushbutton.
d.
Data ControlBus Module™: The maximum Data
ControlBus Module™ cable length depends on
the number of system modules connected, the
noise conditions and the cable used. The
maximum length of all Data ControlBus Module™
interconnecting wire is 4000 feet (1219 meters).
10. Be sure loads do not exceed the terminal ratings. Refer
to the label on the RM7895A,B,C,D/EC7895A,C;
RM7896A,B,C,D or to the terminal ratings in Table 3.
