NOTES

:

1. Recommended wire sizes:

18 AWG minimum, 14 AWG maximum

2. Wire larger than 14 AWG can damage the connector.
3.

When using shielded cable without metal raceway or with
nonmetallic raceway,

 the shields should be terminated at the device

ground terminal. If the device box is already grounded by another
means, such as being mounted to a grounded structure, the wire
shields should be continuous and must be grounded solely at the point
of origin; for example, at the control panel.

4.

When using shielded cable with metal raceway, 

the wiring shields

shall be continuous and grounded solely at the point of origin. The
device ground terminal shall be connected to the grounded device box.

5.

When using metal raceway without shielded cable,

 connect the

device ground terminal to the grounded device box.

6. Metal raceway should be thoroughly grounded throughout the system.
7.

Addressable Device Loop ratings:
Voltage: 31V max.

18V min. (pulsing)

Current maximum: 1mA
In supervisory: HMS-2S / HMS-SA draws 1mA.

8. The HMS-2S / HMS-SA is a polarity insensitive device. Line 1 and Line 2

can be either line of the loop.
