4.9 Corridor Light Installation
Mount the corridor lights using appropriate wall-mount hardware.
Each relay has two wires, an AC power wire and a ground wire. A four-light block has eight
wires.
Corridor light
The wires connecting the corridor lights to the relay board should be 18-gauge stranded unshielded
wire.
The ground wires run from the corridor light to the 24VAC power supply. You can connect the
four ground wires together and run one wire back to the power supply. The AC power wires are
run to the relay board. The wires are connected to the “normally open” (NO) slot on each relay.
The corridor lights are powered by a 24V AC power supply connected into one of the “common”
(C) ports. Then, each common port is wired to the next common port on the relay board. See the
relay board diagram in section 4.8.
4.10 Badge/Tag Wearing and Mounting
Badges are worn by personnel or attached to equipment. The badge signal contains encoded digital
information that is used to identify and obtain the status of the badge. Motion, timing, battery state
and auxiliary information are all included in the signal. Because IR badges use near-visible light
to communicate with the sensors, the signal can be hidden from the sensors by clothing or
obstacles. It is important to be aware that IR badges should not be covered or hidden from view.
RF signals are used for supervisory capacity, in the case where IR signals are hidden from view,
and for sending alarm or call signals triggered by pressing a button on badges that include buttons.
There are several types of badges. Badges can include infrared (IR), radio frequency (RF), or IR
and RF technology, depending on the needs of the facility. Some badges also include a button for
alarm notification. Consult the badge specification sheets for more information on battery and
component functions.
