Power Wire 

All field wiring is completed via modular connectors (provided). After wiring, simply plug the modular 

connectors into the matching connectors on the BRS-485. The power connections to the remote mounted 

detectors should be size AWG18 (minimum) for short runs. Since Macurco detectors are rated for operation 

between 12 and 24 VDC or VAC, the voltage drop between the power supply and the BRS-485 should not be an 

issue if the recommended power wire gauge guidelines below are followed. The terminals will accept wire from 

16 to 28 AWG. To install a wire, strip back approximately 0.25 in. (6 mm) of insulation and insert the bare wire 
into the terminal. Tighten the screw clamp and ensure that the wire cannot be easily pulled from the connector.
