DigiplexNE uses GuardWall technology, a specialized encrypted
communication protocol to transmit data efficiently between the control
panel and all its modules simultaneously and continuously. Modules with
GuardWall technology connect anywhere on the 4-wire communication
network, which can support up to 127 modules. Connect in a star and/or
daisy chain configuration as shown in Figure 3-3 on page 10. The final
device on the communication network should not be more than 3000ft
(914m) from the control panel. To assign a detection device to a zone in the
control panel, see “Zone Programming” on page 16.
Before connecting a module to the communication network,
remove AC and battery power from the control panel.

Connect the smoke detectors using any of the following methods. Assign
the smoke detectors connected to the control panel or zone expansion
input terminals to a zone and define the zone's parameters as a Fire Zone
(see section 5 on page 16).
3.17.1 Smoke Detector Installation (2-Wire)
PGM1 can be defined as a 2-wire
smoke detector input (see section 11.6).
Connect the 2-wire smoke detectors as
shown in Figure 3-8 using a 1k
Ω EOL
resistor. If a line short occurs or the
smoke detector activates, whether the
system is armed or disarmed, the
control panel will generate an alarm. If
the line is open, the “Zone Fault” trouble
indication appears in the Trouble Display and the report code is sent to the
Monitoring Station, if programmed.
3.17.2 ESL CleanMe
®
Installation
The DigiplexNE control panel supports ESL smoke detectors that have the
CleanMe
®
feature. Connect ESL smoke detectors like the standard smoke
detectors shown in Figure 3-8. Avoid connecting more than 20 ESL smoke
detectors. When an ESL smoke detector sends a CleanMe signal, the
control panel will generate a Zone Fault trouble and, if programmed, will
transmit the Fire Loop report code to the Monitoring Station. The trouble will
be cleared if there is no CleanMe signal for 255 seconds. If an alarm
occurs, the trouble will be cleared until it is detected again.
3.17.3 Smoke Detector Installation (4-Wire)
Recommended: System Sensor model
2112/24D smoke detectors. Connect the
4-wire smoke detectors and a relay as
shown in Figure 3-9. To comply with
UL955, install the 4-wire smoke detectors
with 18 gauge wire. If power is
interrupted, the relay causes the control
panel to transmit the Fire Loop Trouble
report programmed in section [2906].
To reset (unlatch), connect the smoke
detector’s negative (-) to a PGM. Then
program the PGM with the “Smoke Reset”
activation event (see section 11.1 on page
34) to interrupt power to the smoke
detector for four seconds when the
[
CLEAR
] and [
ENTER
] keys are pressed
and held for two seconds.
If ATZ is enabled (see see
section 5.2 on page 17), do not use the extra input (doubled
zone). For example, in this example input 13 cannot be used.

Depending on the installation, the telephone lines can be connected
directly to the control panel or through a CA38A or RJ31 as shown in Figure
3-10. The secondary telephone line terminals (optional) can be used as a
backup telephone line. If the Event Call Direction process fails and the
control panel is unable to communicate with the Monitoring Station through
the main line, the control panel will switch to the second line and repeat the
Event Call Direction process (see section 9.7 on page 31).
