ALCN-792M, ALCN-792MISO and
ALCN-792D
Quad Loop Adder Motherboard and Daughter Board
Installation Instructions
The ALCN-792M Quad Loop Adder and the ALCN-792MISO Isolated Quad Loop Adder module provide two
addressable loops plus an additional two loops as part of the daughter board ALCN-792D which is mounted over the
ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO. The Quad Loop Adder module may be mounted over the main chassis of the Network
Fire Alarm Panel or on any chassis that supports adder boards. This module is mounted using four #6 screws and (if
necessary) four 1 1/2" spacers.
Power The power is supplied to the board via cable from the main chassis board or from the
previous loop controller module into the P1 POWER IN connector. Connect the P2
POWER OUT connector to the next loop controller module or other adder module.
One power cable is supplied with this module.
RS-485: The RS-485 cable comes attached at P3 on ALCN-792M and P4 on ALCN-
792MISO and is either connected to P3 of the main fire alarm controller module or
connected from the previous loop controller module or other adder board. If the next
loop controller module is used, connect the RS-485 out at P4 on ALCN-792M or P3
on ALCN-792MISO to the next loop controller module; if it is not used, leave without
connection.
DIP Switches: Use the DIP switches to set the binary address of the board. SW1-1 is the lowest
significant digit and ON is active. For example, an address of two would be created
by turning SW1-1 OFF, SW1-2 ON and DIP switches SW1-3 to SW1-8 OFF. Refer to
DIP switch settings in table below.
Loop 1: This is the addressable loop for all initiating devices. Wire the loop as shown in the
Network Fire Alarm Manual.
Loop 2: This is the addressable loop for all initiating devices. Wire the loop as shown in the
Network Fire Alarm Manual.
Shield: If the loops are shielded, connect the shields to the terminals marked COM(-). To
prevent the board reporting a ground fault, do not connect shields on SLC lines to
earth ground.
Note: Unshielded wiring is preferred.
Jumpers: ALCN-792M and ALCN-792MISO:
• JW1: Factory use only. Leave open.
• JW2: Factory use only. Leave closed.
• JW3: 3 pin jumper. Normally set to 1-2, can be set to 2-3 to prevent noise from
CLIP System Sensor sounder bases on Loop 1. Pin 1 is marked with a dot.
• JW4: 3 pin jumper. Normally set to 1-2, can be set to 2-3 to prevent noise from
CLIP System Sensor sounder bases on Loop 2. Pin 1 is marked with a dot.
• JW6 on ALCN-792MISO: Factory use only. Leave closed.
ALCN-792D:
• See page 4.

ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO DIP Switch Setting
Set the DIP switches on SW1 starting at address 1 for the first ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO adder and consecutively up to
seven for the next six ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO modules. Refer to the Network Fire Alarm Manual for the maximum
quad ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO adder modules allowed per node.

Notes for ALCN-792M:
• All circuits are power limited and must use type FPL, FPLR, or FPLP power limited cable.
• Loop wiring: maximum loop resistance is 40 ohms total. These lines are power-limited and fully
supervised.
• For complete wiring instructions, refer to the LT-894 (LT-894SEC) Network Fire Alarm Manual.

ALCN-792D Daughter Board Installation
The location of Loop 1 and 2 terminals on ALCN-792D are shown in Figure 3 below. Also shown are the jumper
locations.
The ALCN-792D Daughter Board provides another two addressable loops when connected to the ALCN-792M/
ALCN-792MISO Quad Loop Adder Board. This daughter board is mounted over the ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO using
the four screws and spacers provided. Wire the two addressable loops on the ALCN-792D Daughter Board in the same
manner as the ALCN-792M/ALCN-792MISO addressable loops are wired.
If the loops have shielding, connect the shields to the terminals marked COM(-). To prevent the board reporting a
ground fault, do not connect shields on SLC lines to earth ground.
Note: Unshielded wiring is preferred.
