Wiring instructions
1. At the electrical box, connect the building wiring to the CKT + and CKT - terminals on the backplate.
2. To ensure proper continuity, use a torque wrench to tighten the terminal block screws to 12-15 inch-pounds.
3. Ensure that correct polarity is maintained for each unit.
4. Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) wiring must be twisted pair (TWP). CKT terminals accept two wires: 12-18 American Wire Gauge (AWG)
TWP .
