Installation

11. Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as

shown in Figure 11.

12. If shielded cable is used, connect the cable’s drain wire to an available chassis (earth) ground

at the controller. RKI controllers typically have a ground stud that can be used to ground the
cable’s drain wire.
