Custom Power Cables
Firetide offers an accessory DC power cable. The part number is 3200-2401, and this cable can be used to connect other DC sources
to your Series 7020 node. One end of the cable has the six-pin connector used by the Series 7020; the other end has a weatherproof
4-pin connector. Both connectors are of the LTZ type. The cable is wired as shown in Figure 8.
Custom cables can be built in either of two ways.
1. You can obtain a 4-pin female LTZ connector and build an adapter cable.
2. You can cut the 4-pin male LTZ connector off the cable and attach whatever type of connector you require.
