Installation
5. Connect the other end of the wire to the external device.
Refer to the instructions in the external device’s Owner’s
Manual to confirm connections and operation.
Connecting a Backup DC Power Limited Source
Use type CL2, 22-gauge wire to connect a 12-volt 1-amp DC
power limited source to the alert’s
STANDBY
terminal. When a
backup DC source is installed, the alert automatically switches
to DC source power during an AC power failure.
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 screw on the alert’s
STANDBY
terminal. Then insert one conductor into the hole
under the terminal marked
GND
, insert the other conductor
into the hole under the terminal marked
STANDBY
, and
tighten the screws.
4. Connect the other end of the wire to the 12V DC source. Be
sure to match the polarity, as indicated by the markings on
the terminals of the alert and the DC source.
Routing the Wires
When you finish wiring the optional components to the screw
terminals, route the wires through the slot at the side of the
alert.
