Technical Information Reference INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM™ WIRE PATH DESIGN Recommended to Load Balance Wire Path. • Do not utilize the full system capacity of 750 ICMs on one wire path. Instead, leave room to expand the system and add sensing capability in the future. The wire distance is the “trunk length” of the wire path. • The trunk length is the “longest single run of wire” needed for accommodating the installed ICMs. Branches can be added to the trunk wire.
