Input Wiring
If Loop will also be used, it is important to consider how
the wiring will be configured before mounting the
Alarm.com Flex IO™ sensor. For more information, see:

Input) Installation Guide

DC Power Requirements
In addition to battery power, the Alarm.com Flex IO™
sensor can be powered with a DC converter. DC power
is optional for reed switch or input installations.
• Anything from 6-15VDC is acceptable.
• A minimum of 1 Amperage is required.
• For best performance, 18-22 AWG wire should be
used.
Important
: DC power is required for relay installations
due to increased power demands.
Note
: It is recommended to still install batteries for
backup power to prevent damage in case of a sudden
power loss. If batteries are not installed, a
Low
Battery
trouble condition will still appear on the customer
account. The Alarm.com Flex IO™ sensor uses battery
power in the event DC power is lost.
