Relay connections 

The detector includes a Fire relay (corresponding to the Fire 1 alarm level), which 

closes on alarm, and a general Fault relay, which opens on any fault condition or 

on power-down (see Figure 12). The relays are of the volt-free type, with a 

maximum current capacity of 500 mA at 30 VDC maximum.

 Connect the screen 

of the relay cables to the ground stud of the detector.
