Connecting a Sensor Installed with Two-Conductor Shielded Cable

An IR sensor installed with two-conductor shielded cable requires the Niles three-wire to RJ-45 adapter (FG00852, see Accessories) for proper connection to a Select™ or Solo™ Master Keypad Module (see Figure 36). The IR sensor connects to the two-conductor shielded cable with bare-wire, screwdown terminals. (Refer to the IR Sensors Installation Guide for more information). The two-conductor shielded cable then connects to the adapter’s bare-wire, screwdown terminal, matching 12V, GND, and Data respectively.
