Installation and Programming Manual 2-3
Wiring to External Sounders
External Sounders
BELL/S
+ –
Jumper J3
connect suitable wire to the external sounding device(s), whether a bell, an
electronic siren, or a loudspeaker
consider a larger wire gauge (e.g. 18-16) if the distance separating the
sounder(s) and the panel is significant; consider also the sounder’(s)s
current draw when choosing a suitable wire gauge
polarity must be observed for electronic siren(s) and/or polarized bells (if
used)
if an external sounder connection is not
made, use a 2200Ω resistor in its
place to avoid potential sounder supervision problems
be sure to appropriately position the board's BELL/LS Jumper (J3), as
follows:
- if your external sounder is a Loudspeaker
(without a built-in sound
driver), position jumper J3 so it covers both pins; doing so causes the
panel, if so programmed, to produce a continuous oscillating voltage
for burglary/panic alarms, and an interrupted oscillating voltage for fire
alarms
- if your external sounder is either a Bell
or an Electronic Siren (equipped
with a built-in sound driver), position jumper J3 so it does NOT cover both
pins; as such, a steady 12 Volts DC is produced at the sounder terminals
during burglary/panic alarms; a slow, pulsing voltage is produced during a
fire alarm
Wiring to an
External, Triggerable
Device
Utility Output 1
AUX U01
+ –
wire these terminals to any device [e.g. the coil of a 12 VDC, 70 mA (max)
relay] which you want activated when Utility Output 1 is triggered (for
additional information, see the Utility Outputs section on page 3-38)
Telephone Line
Connections
(typically derived from an
installed RJ31X jack)
to the Main Board’s LINE terminals, connect the two wires (usually red and
green) from the RJ31X jack’s Direct Connect Cord, corresponding to the
incoming telephone line
to the Main Board’s SET terminals, connect the two wires (usually gray
and brown) from the RJ31X jack’s Direct Connect Cord, corresponding to
the premises’ phones
J2
DEFAULT Jumper
be sure the J2 Jumper is NOT placed over the two corresponding pins
place this jumper over a single pin to prevent its loss
GROUND
refer to the grounding suggestions, previously discussed on page 2-1
Flying Leads
RED and BLACK
have the Standby Battery handy (typically 12 VDC, 6 AH, typical)
but do NOT connect it at this time
AC
wire the output from a 16.5 VAC, 40 VA transformer to the Main Board’s
AC terminals
use the appropriate wire gauge (e.g. 18-16)
do NOT plug in the transformer at this time
