2.
Measure two strands of twisted-pair wire (16-to-18 AWG) long enough to connect to the external alarm device.
Choose between setting up an external alarm input or output circuit.
3.
Use a wire stripper to remove the casing from both ends of each wire to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm).
Do not strip more than 0.27 inch (6.8 mm) of insulation from the wires. Stripping more than the recommended
amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the alarm connector after installation.
4.
Insert the exposed wires for the external alarm device into the connections based on an alarm input or output circuit
setup. For example, to wire an alarm input circuit, complete the IN1 and REF connections (See
page
34).
