Programmable Output Terminals – PGM1 and
PGM2
Each PGM output is designed so that when activated by the
panel, the terminal will switch to ground.
PGM1 can sink up to 50mA of current.
Connect the positive side of the LED or
buzzer to AUX+, the negative side to PGM1.
If more than 50 mA of current are required,
a relay must be used. Please study PGM
wiring in the accompanying diagram.
PGM2 operates similarly to PGM1. However, PGM2 can sink up
to 300mA of current. PGM2 can be configured for use with 2-
wire smoke detectors.
For a list of the programmable output options, please see
Section 5.11 “PGM Output Options.”
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z6
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device be
connected to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices to a
single zone, however, is possible. For zone wiring specifics,
please see Section 2.8 (“Zone Wiring”).
Telephone Connection Terminals –
TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is required for central station communication
or downloading, connect an RJ-31X telephone jack in the
following manner:
Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the
dimension, tolerance and metallic plating require-
ments of 47 C.F.R. Part 68, SubPart F
. For proper
operation, no other telephone equipment should be
connected between the control panel and the
telephone company facilities
. Do not connect the
alarm panel communicator to telephone lines
intended for use with a fax machine. These lines may
incorporate a voice filter which disconnects the line
if anything other than fax signals are detected,
resulting in incomplete transmissions .
2.3 Keybus Operation and Wiring
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with all
connected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and black
(AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the yellow
(YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data respectively.
The four Keybus terminals of the panel must be
connected to the four Keybus terminals or wires
of all modules.
The following restrictions apply to Keybus wiring:
• Keybus should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad (0.5mm);
two pair twist is preferred.
• The modules should be home-run to the panel but can be
connected in series or T-tapped.
• Any module can be connected anywhere along the Keybus.
You do not need to run a separate Keybus wire for keypads,
etc.
• No module can be more than 1,000'/330m (in wire length)
from the panel.
• Shielded wire should not be used.

NOTE:
Module (A) is correctly wired within 1,000'/330m of wire from the
panel.
Module (B) is correctly wired within 1,000'/330m of wire from the
panel.
Module (C) is NOT wired correctly as it is further than 1,000'/
330m from the panel, in wire distance.
2.4 Current Ratings – Modules and
Accessories
In order for the PC1555 system to operate properly, the power
output capabilities of the main control and the expansion devices
must not be exceeded. Use the data presented below to ensure
that no part of the system is overloaded and cannot function
properly.
