6. Connect the Telephone Line
Make sure telephones on the premises are connected only through the alarm control panel
(disconnect from the incoming phone line at the telephone jack). This is necessary to have true
line seizure.
7. Connect the AC Transformer
Use the wiring table at the end of this section for maximum wire lengths per gauge.
DO NOT PLUG THE TRANSFORMER INTO THE AC OUTLET UNTIL ALL OTHER WIRING TO THE
CONTROL IS COMPLETE.
8. Connect the Battery
Do not attach the connector cable to the battery's terminals until after you have plugged the AC
transformer into an uninterrupted 120VAC outlet.

1.
In UL installations, maximum current draw from the Auxiliary Output and the Alarm Output
combined must not exceed 600mA.
2. Use a 3A battery or larger for UL installations.
9. Connect Earth Ground
Connect Terminal 21 to a good earth ground (Metal Cold Water Pipe, or AC Power Outlet
Ground from a 3 prong, 120VAC outlet. This is necessary for the lightning protection devices in
this control to work properly.

* Includes Keypads and Protection Devices requiring separate power.
Example: If you have two motion detectors that draw a total of 44 mA, and you are using #20 AWG wire, the
distance from the control panel Aux + and - terminals to the last device can be up to 750 ft.
The combined length of all wire runs for devices connected to the keypad data lines must not
exceed 1500 feet (457m) when unshielded quad conductor cable is used (750 feet if shielded
cable is used). This restriction is due to the capacitive effect on the data lines when quad cable is
used.
