Connecting Wired Temperature, Contact Closure, and Water Bug Sensors
Note: It may take a few minutes for the base unit to detect the wireless sensors.
At this point the NEW WIRELESS SENSOR screen is displayed and an arrow moves from left to right indicating that the EA800 is waiting to receive sensor ID data. When the EA800 has communicated with the reachable sensors the SELECT SENSOR screen displays a list of wireless sensors detected.
■When a sensor is detected, confirm that the ID number shown matches the ID number on the sensor’s label..
■If the sensors can communicate with the EA800, their IDs appear in the list as shown in the example at right. Do not permanently install the sensors that appear in the list until you verify their signal strength when you program the wireless sensors in the system later in the installation process.
■If the list of number(s) on the screen does not contain the number found on the sensor's PC board, press F1 (CANCEL) to continue the search process.

After the base unit has identified each wireless sensor and you have programmed it, temporarily mount it in its desired location using tape. This allows the sensor to be relocated if necessary in order to obtain good signal strength
Connecting Wired Temperature, Contact Closure, and Water Bug Sensors
1.Make certain the sensor's wiring is passed through the opening in the mounting plate.
2.Remove the adapter from the correct input connector header by pulling the adapter up and off of the circuit board header connector.
3.Strip the ends of each of the sensor's wires as indicated by the gauge on adapter you just removed.
4.Insert the stripped wire ends into screw terminals of the adapter as indicated by the EA800 Wiring Diagram you completed in the preparation phase. There is no need to observe polarity when connecting sensor wires. See Figure 14.

5.Secure the connections using the setscrews on the adapter. Check the connection by lightly pulling on each connection.
6.After connecting the wire ends to the adapter, align the adapter to the correct header pins as indicated by your EA800 Wiring Diagram, and press the adapter fully onto the header connector pins.
