Minimum Isolation is 0.75M between the field loop conductors.
These values will allow the input to detect more accurately different
voltage levels that represent OPEN CCT - OFF - ON - SHORT CCT and
will also detect Over Voltage and an input which is neither ON or OFF.
The values ensure that a line fault will be declared before it becomes
possible for a false declaration of On and Off states due to a combination
of resistor value drift and loop voltage variation.
Field Loop Circuit for Line Monitored Digital Input for Fire and Gas Systems (F & G)
The F&G circuit will also allow two devices to be in alarm without
reporting short circuit.
All of the input circuits are suitable for simplex, dual and TMR
configurations.
The F&G circuit assumes that the devices are volt-free contacts.
For further information, please refer to application note AN-T90001 Field
Loop Configuration. This also includes advice for fire detectors which are
not simple volt free contacts.
