Note:
The maximum number of 4297 modules which can be connected in parallel to a single system control is limited to
no more than 8, and by the maximum wire lengths specified above and the need for the Aux or Local power source
to supply 50 ma per 4297. For example, if five 4297 modules are used, the Aux or Local power source must supply
(5) (50) = 250 ma and the total system load current would be (5)(128)+128 = 768 ma, max. Also, from the above
relations;
If (L
