2.2 Operating Power
WARNING: Several different sources of power can be connected to this panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. The panel and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules or interconnecting cables while this unit is energized.
| Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections |
| AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet. The primary power source for the |
| panel is 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3.66 amps for the |
| |
| breaker box to the AC terminal block TB1 on the main power supply. As per the National |
| Electrical Code, use 14 AWG (2.00 mm2, 1.6 mm O.D.) or heavier gauge wire with 600V |
| insulation. No other equipment may be connected to this circuit. In addition, this circuit must be |
| provided with overcurrent protection and may not contain any power disconnect devices. A |
| separate Earth Ground connection must be made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning and |
| transient protection. Connect the Earth Ground wire [minimum 14 AWG (2.00 mm2)] to the |
| grounding stud in the backbox. Do not use conduit for the Earth Ground connection since this does |
| not provide reliable protection. |
| Secondary Power Source (Batteries) |
| Observe polarity when connecting the battery. Connect the battery cable to J12 on the main circuit |
| board using the |
| capable of charging sealed lead acid batteries. The charger shuts off when the system is in alarm. |
| WARNING: Battery contains sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes and |
! | can destroy fabrics. If contact is made with sulfuric acid, immediately flush the skin or eyes with |
water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. |
