Operating Voltage
The DC operating voltage required by the alarm
panel is +12 VDC min @ 100 mA to +24 VDC max
@ 100 mA. It is the customers responsibility to
supply this voltage. Inside the alarm panel enclo-
sure the operating voltage wires must be con-
nected to the appropriate terminals at the J1B
connector as shown in figure 2. A close-up view of
the J1B connector is shown in
Figure 4
where
each of the connection points for the operating volt-
age wires are identified. The J1B connector can
accommodate wire gauge between 16 and 28.
Bring the operating voltage into the alarm panel
box through one of the conduit openings at the bot-
tom of the box. Use one of the conduit openings for
signal lines and the other conduit opening for oper-
ating voltage. The top portion of the J1B connector
can be removed from the circuit board by pulling up
on the top portion of the connector. This will make it
much easier to attach the operating voltage wires
to the connector. Once the twisted pairs are prop-
erly attached to the connector head and tightened
down the connector head can be re-attached to the
circuit board at the J1B location.
The DC operating voltage should be supplied by an
uninterrupted source so that the alarm panel
remains functional in a power outage situation. The
customer supplied uninterrupted source can be
located locally in the same general area as the
panel installation. Another possibility is to use the
signal booster systems battery backup unit to pro-
Charge Fail form-C contacts from signal booster connect here
Low Battery form-C contacts from signal booster connect here
Antenna Malfunction form-C contacts from signal booster connect here
Loss of AC Power form-C contacts from signal booster connect here
Signal Booster Failure form-C contacts from signal booster connect here
Note:
The form-C contacts brought into the alarm panel from the signal booster must be normally closed.
Normally closed is defined as a contact pair that is normally closed when the booster is powered-up, operat-
ing normally, with no alarm conditions.
