Wiring to be twisted pair of AWG #14 to #20. Route
Zone Interlocking wiring separate from power conductors.
DO NOT GROUND any Zone Interlocking wiring.
The maximum distance between two farthest circuit breakers
on different zones (from the ZO downstream to ZI upstream
terminals) is 250 feet (76m).
A maximum of 20 breakers may be contained in parallel
in one zone.
Provide a self interlocking jumper (on Zone 3) if
coordination is desired with other downstream circuit breakers.
