6.Use un conector pequeño de alambres para conectar el alambre blanco de la alarma de CO con el alambre blanco de la corriente de la casa.
7.Conecte el alambre negro de la alarma de CO con el alambre negro de la corriente de la casa.
8. Para interconectar las alarmas:
•Use un alambre trenzado o sólido que tenga un grosor mínimo No. 18 AWG. Cuando
haga la interconexión, la
distancia máxima entre dos alarmas es 457,20 m (1500
pies) si usa alambres No. 18 AWG o 1219,20 m (4000
pies) si usa alambre No. 14 AWG (resistencia de 20 ohmios en el tramo de conexión). Vea la Figura 2.
•Esta alarma de monóxido de carbono puede ser interconectada hasta con 11 alarmas más de monóxido de carbono Firex, o hasta con 12 alarmas de humo Firex, y con 5 alarmas de monóxido de carbono o calor, para un total de 8 unidades.
•Esta alarma de monóxido de carbono puede ser interconectada con los modelos de alarmas de humo y calor de Firex FADC, ADC, PAD y ADH. NO la conecte a ningún otro modelo de alarma de monóxido de carbono, humo o calor.
•Tome nota de que esta alarma de
monóxido de carbono no hará que las alarmas de humo y calor inter-
conectadas suenen sus bocinas. Esta alarma de monóxido de carbono per- manecerá en silencio si las alarmas
de humo y calor interconectadas
están sonando, aún si hay una acu- mulación de monóxido de carbono.
• Conecte las alarmas de monóxido de
carbono y de humo en un solo circuito derivado de CA.
Si los códigos locales no permiten la conexión en un solo circuito deriva- do de CA, asegúrese de que el cable neutro sea común para todos los
circuitos utilizados. | 8 |
