FACTORY INSTALLED TERMINAL BLOCK WIRING
•
Wire gauge range is 0.5 to 4.0 mm, (12-22 AWG) for either solid or stranded conductors.
•
Strip length of 8 mm (0.315 inch)
For both available wiring configurations:
•
The cross-sectional area of the primary earth (ground located within the rear housing) must equal the cross-
sectional area of the phase conductor.
•
The incoming wire must be rated per the corresponding national and local codes in which the station is used.
Tools needed (after internal access):
•
Wire stripper
•
4.0 x 0.8 mm or 1/8” slotted screwdriver
To wire the CP-PB (pushbutton) and CP-BG (break glass) models:
1.
If desired for easier access, loosen the two captivated M4 Philips screws on the aluminum mounting bracket and
remove it from the rear housing, taking care, as it still remains directly wired to the front housing assembly.
2.
Strip the incoming wiring leads to the station to the appropriate length as noted above (depending on wiring block
configuration).
NOTE:
Ensure that the incoming lead lengths into the station meet the required national and local regulations/
codes and also that the leads are not excessive in length causing the station not to be reassembled.

Reference the following wiring schematic diagrams for your station and its application within your system. Wire
per the diagram shown.
5.
Ensure that all wires are properly seated and restrained to the station’s wiring or terminal block.
