Installation Guidelines
Follow the installation guidelines listed below:
■ The panel must be powered by a Line Carrier
Power Transformer (P/N 60-762 or 60-779)
■ Use 22 AWG (or larger) stranded wire to
connect the transformer to the panel
■ All X-10 modules and ITI Sup ervised Wireless
Sirens must be plugged into electrical outlets
on the same electrical phase
■ Avoid plugging the ITI Supervised Wireless
Sirens, transformers, and X-10 Lamp Modules
into outlets that share major appliances, such
as computers, microwave ovens, refrigerators,
dryers, or washing machines
■ The Power Line Carrier Card, X-10 Lamp
Modules, and sirens require a programmed
house code in order to operate
Installation
This section describes how to install the Power
Line Carrier Card.
Additional features include the following:
■ Communication with ITI Supervised Wireless
Sirens and X-10 modules via existing AC
electrical wiring
■ Simple “plug-in” functionality
■ Adds ITI Supervised Wireless Sirens
compatibility for sirens in the event of an
alarm
■ Adds X-10 module compatibility for light
control
■ Light control by turning lights on either
individually, simultaneously, or through
programmed time schedules
Installing in Concord Systems
