Cabling the ERX System

Cabling Your ERX System

Cabling the system takes only a few minutes. You need these items:

•A 1/8" flathead screwdriver – to connect the alarm leads

•A 3/8" wrench or 3/8" nut-driver – to loosen and tighten hex nuts on Power A and Power B leads

•A No. 2 Phillips screwdriver – to remove the power input module cover

•Two ground wires – we recommend a minimum of 10-AWG ground wire with a ring-style terminal.

•A #10 kep nut to connect the ground (earth) wire to the ground terminal.

We recommend that you use shielded cables where appropriate and perform the cabling tasks in this order:

1Familiarize yourself with the module ports. See Figure 4-1.

2Ensure that you have the cables and wires needed to complete each cabling procedure.

3Read and understand all safety warnings.

4Connect the power cables from the power source to the power input module.

5Connect cables to the SRP I/O module.

6Connect cables to the line I/O modules.
