How do I add IDNet devices to an existing 4010ES system?
To add IDNet devices, connect them to the IDNet signaling line circuit (SLC) on the Main System Supply (MSS) or an optional IDNet 2+2 module. The system supports up to 250 devices per SLC and a total of 998 points across the panel (Page 1, 3) [1].
- Wiring: Use 18 AWG to 12 AWG wire (Page 3) [1].
For Class B wiring, "T-tapping" is permitted. For Class A, wire from the Primary Terminals (B+, B-) through the devices and back to the Secondary Terminals (A+, A-) (Page 66) [1].
-
Distance Limits: Ensure the run does not exceed 4,000 ft for up to 125 devices or 2,500 ft for 126-250 devices (Page 3) [1].
-
Jumpers: Configure module jumpers for the wiring type. Class A uses positions 3-5 and 4-6; Class B uses positions 1-3 and 2-4 (Page 67, 69) [1].
-
Addressing: Assign a unique address to the device. If using isolators on a Class A loop, address them in sequence starting from the "B" side (Page 67) [1].
-
Programming: Update the system configuration using the ES Panel Programmer software to recognize the new points (Page 42) [1].
