CT5000 cable/wire specifications
• Wiring methods should be in accordance with the National Electric Code (ANSI/
NFPA70), local electric codes and the authorities having jurisdiction.
• Cabling and wire must be UL listed and recognized wire suitable for the application.
• Use only stranded, multi-conductor wire without splices.
• Refer to
Cable/Wire Table 1 - Typical Installation
for wire specifications for a typical
configuration.
• Refer to

Power
The J7 input power connection is mandatory. An external, UL294 or ULCS318/ULCS319
listed power supply capable of sourcing at least 500 mA @ 12 or 24 VDC must be provided.
RS-485
J10 RS-485 connection is reserved for future expansion.
Tamper input
SW1 lid tamper switch monitors the state of the CT5000 enclosure lid and generates a tamper
trouble signal when the lid is open. When terminals J2-1 and J2-2 are shorted, a tamper audit is
recorded.
