Wiring the Hydrogen Transmitter to a Controller

WARNING: Always verify that the power to the controller is off before you make wiring 

connections.

1. Turn off power to the controller.

2. Place the controller’s power switch in the OFF position.
3. Remove the junction box cover.
4. The detector leads are factory wired. Verify that the detector leads are wired to the amplifier’s 

detector terminal strip as shown in Figure 4.

5. To gain access to a plug-in terminal strip for wiring, pull it out of its socket by grasping the 

terminal strip and pulling. The detector strip is keyed so that the controller and detector terminal 
strips cannot be reversed inadvertently.

6. Guide a three-conductor, shielded cable or three wires in conduit through the top conduit hub of 

the junction box.

7. Pull out the controller terminal strip, and connect the three wires to the terminal strip as follows 

(see Figure 4).

Connect the positive wire to the 

PWR/SIG “+”

 

terminal.

Connect the signal wire to the 

PWR/SIG “

S” 

terminal.

Connect the negative wire to the 

PWR/SIG “-”

 

terminal.

CAUTION:

If shielded cable is used, leave the cable shield’s drain wire disconnected and insulated at 
the transmitter. You will connect the opposite end of the cable’s drain wire to the 
controller’s chassis (earth) ground.

8. Reinstall the controller terminal strip into its socket.
9. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.
10. Route the cable or wires leading from the hydrogen transmitter through one of the conduit hubs at 

the controller housing.

CAUTION:

Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller conduit hub. The 
power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the controller.

11. Connect the wires to the applicable detector/transmitter terminal strip at the controller as shown in 

Figure 4.
