3.1 Overview
This section shows the proper termination of the shield, if used.
Shielding of the SLC is recommended for use with IFC-200, IFC-300/400, JLIB-200. Proper
termination of the shield depends on the type of conduit used:
• Section 3.2, “No Conduit”.
• Section 3.3, “Full Conduit” (Canadian requirement).
• Section 3.4, “Partial Conduit”.
Shielding of the SLC is not recommended for use with IFC-320/E/C, IFC2-640/E, IFC-640/E,
IFC2-3030, IFC-3030, LCM-320, LEM-320, JLIB-200A or JLIB-400. If twisted-shielded wire is
used in one of these installations, use a floating shield to terminate the wire as shown in
Section 3.5, “Floating Shield”, on page 25.
Use of good wiring practice consistent with local electrical codes is expected.
3.2 No Conduit
For use with IFC-200, IFC-300/400, and JLIB-200 only
Scrape the paint on the cabinet to bare metal to provide a good electrical connection. Fold the foil
and drain wire back over the cable jacket. Slide the cable into the connector clamp and secure. The
drain wire should be connected to the connector screw. Do not allow the shield drain wire or foil to
enter the system cabinet.

5.1 Overview
There are two isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the FlashScan-mode or CLIP-
mode SLC loop from faults on other SLC branches or segments.
• Fault Isolator Module M500XJ
• Isolator Detector Base B224BI
A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of an Isolator Base and
Isolator Module are required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.
CAUTION:
! If relay or sounder bases are not used, a maximum of 25 addressable devices can be connected
between Isolator Modules and/or Bases. When relay or sounder bases are used, the maximum
number of addressable devices that can be connected between Isolators is reduced to seven.
Isolator modules will not function properly when these limits are exceeded. IFC-300 or IFC-400 The
address capacity of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of
200 when the Isolator Modules and/or Isolator Bases are connected to the SLC loop from the IFC-
320/E/C, IFC2-640/E, IFC-640/E, IFC2-3030, IFC-3030, or IFC-200.
