ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Wiring Specifications
DMP recommends using 18 or 22 AWG for all LX‑Bus and Keypad Bus connections. The maximum wire distance between
any module and the DMP Keypad Bus or LX‑Bus circuit is 1,000 feet. To increase the wiring distance, install an auxiliary
power supply, such as a DMP Model 505‑12. Maximum voltage drop between a panel or auxiliary power supply and any
device is 2.0 VDC. If the voltage at any device is less than the required level, add an auxiliary power supply at the end of
the circuit.
To maintain auxiliary power integrity when using 22‑gauge wire on Keypad Bus circuits, do not exceed 500 feet. When
using 18‑gauge wire, do not exceed 1,000 feet. Maximum distance for any bus circuit is 2,500 feet regardless of wire
gauge. Each 2,500 foot bus circuit supports a maximum of 40 LX‑Bus devices.
For additional information refer to the LX‑Bus/Keypad Bus Wiring Application Note (LT‑2031) and the 710 Bus Splitter/
Repeater Module Installation Guide (LT‑0310).
Panel Zone and Keypad Bus Zone Annunciation
When the module is connected to LX‑Bus 1, the addresses in Table 2 and Table 3 allow the annunciator outputs to follow
the armed activity of the panel and Keypad Bus zones using the annunciator output terminal number.
Note: The 717 follows the first eight panel zones, Keypad Bus zones 11 to 44 or Keypad Bus zones 51 to 84. To follow
Keypad Bus zones 91 to 164 on an XR150/XR550 Series panel, install multiple 716 modules. For more information,
refer to the 716 Output Expansion Module Installation Guide (LT‑0183).

Supervised Operation
To install the module as a supervised device, connect all four LX‑Bus wires from the module to the panel LX‑Bus and
program an appropriate zone as a Supervisory (SV) type. The module may use any address for supervision, provided
that a Supervisory zone is programmed for that address. For example, if a supervised module loses communication with
the panel, an open condition (Trouble) is indicated on its Supervisory zone.
When installing Zone Expander modules on the same LX‑Bus as a supervised module, start their address at the next
zone number. For example, a module set to address 20 uses zone 520 for supervision. A zone expander on the same bus
would be set to address 21 to start at zone 521 for an XR150/XR550 Series panel. Refer to Table 3.

Unsupervised Operation
To operate the module in unsupervised mode, do not connect the yellow wire from the module to the panel LX‑Bus.
Unsupervised operation allows you to install multiple modules and set them to the same address. Do not program a zone
address for unsupervised operation.
