Reducing Voltage Drop - Method 1:
Double up the supply connections (12V and
0V), which will halve the resistance on each
core and therefore halve the voltage drop.
When using Table 1 to calculate the
expected voltage drop, simply divide the
voltage drop for a single core by two.
Reducing Voltage Drop - Method 2:
Supply the detection devices from the Aux
output on separate cores. This is the
preferred method of reducing voltage drop
as detectors generally operate at lower
voltages (9.5V). When using this method,
the bus cable must have two spare cores.
Remote Power Supplies
When you cannot reduce voltage drops by
method 1 or 2, or the demand on the
control unit power supply exceeds its
capacity (see Technical Specifications –
page 28), you should install one or more
remote power supplies. The supply must
have a "floating zero rail" if connected to
the bus, otherwise an earth fault will occur.
Cooper Security recommend the EXP-PSU.
When installing a remote power supply, fit
it close to the equipment it is powering.
Figure 11 shows the recommended method
of connecting a remote power supply.
