Installation
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
dialer before you connect it to AC power.
When you finish, disconnect the adapter
from AC power before you disconnect it
from the dialer.
1. Insert the supplied adapter’s plug into
the dialer’s
DC 12V
jack.
2. Plug the adapter’s other end into a stan-
dard AC outlet. The POWER indicator
on the dialer lights.
Connecting To Auxiliary Power
If AC power fails and you connected the dial-
er to your alarm system’s auxiliary battery
power, the alarm system’s battery powers
the dialer instead.
Although your dialer is normally powered by
an AC adapter, if your alarm system has aux-
iliary battery power terminals, you should
connect your dialer to them in case AC pow-
er is lost during an emergency.
Caution:
Your alarm system’s auxiliary bat-
tery must supply 12 volts and deliver at least
200 mA. Using an auxiliary battery that does
not meet these specifications could damage
the dialer, the battery, or the alarm system.
Refer to your alarm system’s owner’s manual
for more information about its auxiliary bat-
tery power system.
Refer to the owner’s manual provided with
your alarm system to determine the correct
connections, then follow these steps to con-
nect the dialer to your alarm system’s auxilia-
ry battery power.
1. Connect the
AUX POWER +
terminal on
the side of the dialer to your alarm sys-
tem’s positive (+) auxiliary battery termi-
nal.
2. Connect the
AUX POWER –
terminal on
the side of the dialer to your alarm sys-
tem’s negative (
–
) auxiliary battery termi-
nal.
If you have a Cat. No. 49-485 alarm sys-
tem, connect the dialer’s
AUX POWER +
terminal to Terminal 25, then connect
the
AUX POWER –
terminal to Terminal
26.
MOUNTING THE DIALER ON
A WALL
To mount the dialer directly on a wall, you
need two wood screws (not supplied) with
heads that fit into the keyhole slots on the
bottom of the dialer.
1. Using the holes on the back of the dialer
as a guide, mark the mounting screw
locations 3
1
/
8
inches apart on the wall.
2. Drill a hole in the wall at each marked
location.
3. Thread a screw into each hole until the
screw’s head extends about
1
/
8
inch
from the wall.
4. Align the keyhole slots on the back of
the dialer with the screw heads in the
wall, then slide the dialer down onto the
screws until it is secure.
