Power adapter - plug-in adapter model shown, when using adapter
with cord connected use the mounting tabs to attach adapter to
the wall.
Use the following table to determine the distance and gauge for the secondary wiring.

For UL and ULC installations, use a primary input with ratings of 120 VAC, 60 Hz, and 1.2 A.
For CE and EN50131 Grade 2 installations, use a primary input with ratings 230 VAC (+10%,
-15%), 50 Hz, and 1.2 A.
For all installations, the output rating of the power adapter is 18 VDC and 2.22 A.
Wiring the zones
You can wire zones to supervise normally open devices, for example smoke detectors or heat
detectors, or normally closed devices, for example door contacts. You can program the PG8HRDW8
or PG9HRDW8 for single end-of-line (SEOL) resistors, or double end-of-line (DEOL) resistors.
Note:
For UL and ULC installations, use only UL and ULC listed initiating devices that are
compatible with the auxiliary output power range provided by the converter.
CAUTION:
Ensure the alarm controller is turned off before you wire the equipment.
When you wire zones, observe the following guidelines:
•
For UL and ULC listed installations, only use SEOL or DEOL connections.
•
Use a minimum wire size of 22 AWG and a maximum wire size of 18 AWG.
•
Do not use shielded wires.
•
Do not exceed a wire resistance of 100 Ω. For more information, see the following table.

Normally open and normally closed wiring
Wire normally closed devices in series and normally open devices in parallel. To wire hardwired
devices, complete the following steps:
1. Wire the device to any Zone terminal.
