System Line Balance 

Each system requires termination of the audio pair wires with a 1-kilohm, 1-watt resistor assembly 
included with each unit.  The line balance resistor assembly is made for easy installation into a customer-
supplied junction box.

OTE

:

  Only one line-balance resistor assembly is needed per system. 

Install the resistor assembly in a (customer supplied) junction box that is close to the center of the system 
when cable runs approximately 4000 feet (1219 m) or longer are used (see Figure 5 and Figure 6)

The junction box must be suitable for the applicable hazardous location where it is located.
