    2 zpr68-10 • zone status and co (common control) outputs. An on/off +12 v dc output is provided from each zone and one common to all zones. When a zone(s) is turned on, these outputs can drive remote room on/off status indicators and/or drive the voltage sensing inputs (ci) of the pa1235 or controll...

    6 notes: a) each zone of the zpr68-10 can be set to its own individual group code. This may be useful when the system requirements so dictate. B) the code group number assigned and preset at the factory for each zone of the zpr68-10 is 68. C) since other xantech ir controlled models are assigned and...

Add up the currents: (4 x 90 ma) + (5 x 30 ma) + (2 x 11 ma) + (1 x 11 ma) = 543 ma total. This is well within the 1.8 a (1800 ma) limit. Therefore, no external powe...
