Wiring Guidelines
WARNING: ALL AUDIO WIRING SHOULD BE ROUTED AWAY FROM ANY HIGH VOLTAGE OR HIGH CURRENT
LINES (SUCH AS AC OR DC POWER LINE, AUDIO POWER LINES, AND MOTOR OR RELAY ACTUATION
LINES) AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN SEPARATE CONDUIT FROM HIGH VOLTAGE OR HIGH
CURRENT LINES. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
The National Electrical Code defines two types of circuits for protective signaling systems: power limited circuits and non-power
limited circuits. All circuits in this panel are non-power limited.
CAUTION: The National Electric Code limits the maximum number of conductors that can be installed in conduit and wiring
boxes depending on the size of the conduit, the volume of the boxes, and the gauge of the wire used. Make
sure that wiring used for installation complies with the latest NEC requirements.
See the “Field Wiring Connection” section for recommended wire sizes and wire type to use for all input and output circuits.
Mounting
This panel shall be mounted in a location within the environmental limits specified in the latest UL Standard for indoor control
panels. This panel shall not be located in a hazardous location. Refer to the "Technical Specifications'' section.
Refer to Figure 3 for panel mounting hole layout. Drill mounting holes for appropriate screws and anchors to ensure secure
mounting to the type of surface at the selected location. Keep out dust and dirt during installation, as they can interfere with the
operation and reduce the life of the equipment.
Remove the door and mount the panel at the selected location. Use care to avoid damage to the module PC boards during
installation. Do not apply excessive pressure to any PC board or its components, including field wiring terminals and connectors.
Grounding
This panel should be connected to earth ground in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Connecting this panel to earth
ground will reduce static discharge failures, improve transient protection, and reduce the chance of electrical shock. This panel
should be grounded as follows:
1. Connect a wire between the ground lug (labeled “EARTH GROUND”) in Figure 6 and earth ground.
