The control assembly is provided with the alarm relay outputs, alarm silence push-button and audible alarm
pre-wired to aid in assembly. The pre-installed jumpers combine alarm outputs one and two (for
temperature and power failure) together so that only a single connection is required in order to activate the
external alarm relays.
One terminal of the push-button is pre-wired to the alarm outputs, so that only a single connection must be
made to the alarm silence relay. The audible alarm is pre-wired to the negative of the power supply
terminals as well as one terminal of the alarm 3 output (not used). This provides an easy termination point
for the field wiring required to active the audible alarm.
