When usingTable 1 to calculate the expected voltage drop,simply divide the voltage drop for a single core bytwo.Reducing Voltage Drop - Method 2:Supply the detection devices from the Aux outputon separate cores. This is the preferred method ofreducing voltage drop as detectors generallyoperate at lower voltages (9.5V). When using thismethod, the bus cable must have at least twospare cores.Remote Power SuppliesWhen you cannot reduce voltage drops bymethod 1 or 2, or the demand on the control unitpower supply exceeds its capacity (see TechnicalSpecifications –page 37), you should install one ormore remote power supplies. The supply musthave a "floating zero Volt rail" if connected to thebus, otherwise an earth fault will occur. Eaton’sSecurity Business recommends the EXP-PSU.When installing a remote power supply, fit it closeto the equipment it is powering.Figure 19 shows the recommended method ofconnecting a remote power supply.Control unit Device 112V0V0V 12VBusDevice 2Remote PSUDevice 4Device 3Figure 19.
