1.4.3 Connecting the Earth Ground
The earth ground terminal of the AA-400 must
be connected to the earth ground as follows.
Use a rod at least 5/8 in (16 mm) in diameter
at least 10 ft (3 m) long. The rod must have a
clean metal surface free of paint, enamel or
other nonconducting substances. Drive the rod
at least 10 ft (3 m) into the ground. If the
bedrock is more than 47 in (1.2 m) deep, drive
the rod into the ground to bedrock level and
bury any remainder horizontally at least 2 ft
(600 mm) below ground level. If the bedrock is
less than 47 in (1.2 m) deep, bury the rod
horizontally at least 2 ft (600 mm) below
ground level (ref. article 10-702, 3d of the
Canadian Electricity Code C22.10-99).
The rod must be connected to the wire de-
scribed above. It is recommended to let the rod
going out of the ground to connect it. The wire
length must not exceed 50 ft (15 m).

ALARM SYSTEM
It is extremely important that the
earth ground terminal be con-
nected to a proper ground to pro-
tect the electronic components
from damage due to lightning
surges and electrostatic dis-
charges. Do not use the electrical
ground for this purpose.
If outdoor connections are used,
mount the enclosure as close as
possible to the entry point of the
outdoor wiring.
An improper earth ground connec-
tion immediately voids the system
warranty without further notice.
1.4.4 Siren Output
The terminals marked SIREN are for the siren.
The voltage supplied is 12 VDC with a maxi-
mum current of 1.5 A. Note that the battery
must be hooked up if a siren is used. The F5
fuse (2A slow blow) is connected to this
output. Make sure the positive wire is con-
nected to the positive terminal of the siren.
