Gear Box Wiring Installation
NOTE: The below diagram shows a connection between terminals (S1: Yellow / S2: Yellow with Orange Stripe) and the normally Open
Terminals (S1: Brown / S2: Brown with Orange Stripe). In this example the signal switch will remain open (No current through switch)
as long as the valve remains Fully Opened. Once the Valve begins to close the signal switch will change from open to close (current
will flow through switch). Only S1 (two leads per terminal) may be connected to the fire alarm control panel. The connection of the
alarm switch wiring shall be in accordance with NFPA 72 and the auxiliary switch per NAPA 70 (NEC). Remember to cap off any
unused wire and that your conduit connections are water tight.
