Installation
Connecting Another External Device
You can connect another external device (such as a phone dial-
er or an alarm system) instead of an external siren. Use Type
CL2, 22-gauge wire to connect a device to the alert’s
N.O
or
N.C
terminals. If the beam path is interrupted with the mode switch
set to
ALARM
, the alert activates the external device.
Cautions:
• The device must be rated at 12 VDC, 0.5A or less, and it
must have its own power supply.
• Do not connect a jumper wire to the OUTPUT 10–18 VDC
0.5A terminals.
Note: You cannot connect both an external siren and a dialer
(or an alarm system) to the alert.
1. Separate about 2 inches of one end of the two-conductor
wire.
2. Use a wire stripper to remove about
1
/
4
inch of insulation
from the end of each conductor, then twist the loose
strands.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the
N.O
or
N.C
terminal
screws, and insert the stripped ends under
N.O
or
N.C
ter-
minals, then tighten the screws.
4. Insert the other conductor of the wire into the hole under
the terminal between the
N.O
or
N.C
terminals, then tighten
the screw.
