which is not provided. Use the gauge of wire appropriate for the external device you are
connecting.
To connect an external device to an alarm relay contact:
1. Prepare the required length of wire with gauge between 20 AWG (0.52 mm
2
) and 14
AWG (2.08 mm
2
).
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
3. While the terminal block is not plugged into the relay contact, use a screwdriver to
loosen the small screws on its side. With the small screws on its side facing left, insert
wires into the slots in the front of the block based on the wiring for the external device.
Tighten the screws to secure the wire.
4. Orient the terminal block according to the labels to the left of the appropriate relay
contact (NC means “normally closed, C means “common,” and NO means “normally
open”).
5. Plug the terminal block into the relay contact and use a screwdriver to tighten the
screws on the face of the block.
6. Attach the other end of the wires to the external device.
If attaching a reporting device for the other kind of alarm, repeat the procedure.
