INTRODUCTION

The 2120 Multiplex System consists of equipment that is designed to provide fire alarm, security, and energy

management functions. As such, you must make sure that the system is installed in strict compliance with

.I national, state, and local codes.

The 2120 can be configured in many different ways, depending on customer requirements. Since the system is

so versatile, installations will vary significantly from site to site. The purpose of this publication is to provide
general installation considerations and instructions for the major components of the system. Specific installation
drawings are provided with each system.

Receiving/Inspecting Equipment

When the equipment cartons are received, examine each for signs of damage that may have occurred during
shipping.

If you detect damage, you must immediately place a claim with the carrier. If you know the extent of the damage,
inform the carrier.

If possible, leave the equipment in the original containers until installation time.

Basic System Components

Although a 2120 system may include other equipment, the basic system components are shown below.

The Basic Multiplex, or BMUX

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 3

Each equipment carton will be marked to identify its contents. Transponder equipment cartons will be marked with
the transponder number (or numbers) to identify the unit’s relative location in the system. The specific location
of each piece of equipment is identified in the documentation supplied with the system.

Removing Equipment from Cartons

When you remove the equipment from the cartons, choose tools that will open the cartons with a minimal amount
of jarring. Be careful not to extend the tool into the container far enough to damage the equipment. As you remove
the equipment, inspect it for signs of damage (dents, bent corners, etc.).

When possible, leave all documents with the associated equipment. Otherwise, be sure to mark both the
documents and the inside of the equipment so that they can be reunited later.

EQUIPMENT DOCUMENTATION

Since each installation is unique, specific documentation is provided with every system. This documentation
describes the equipment used in your system, and provides wiring and interconnection information. The
documents usually supplied with each system are listed in Table A.

IMPORTANT!: Do not discard documents after the installation is complete. They are required for testing,

inspection, and maintenance.

In addition to system-supplied documents, each installation will have specific site drawings. Site drawings show the
location of all 2120 equipment required for an installation, as well as the amount and type of wire required. These
site drawings may include either architectural drawings, riser diagrams, or both.

The site drawings and system-supplied documents provide sufficient information to completely install a 2120
system. We will discuss the system-supplied documents one-at-a-time.

Each specification sheet is divided into different areas. Some of the information on these sheets affects the way in
which the system is installed; other information is used during inspection, maintenance, and repair of existing
systems. For the purpose of this manual, the numbered areas on each sheet indicate information that affects
system installation.

In addition to the numbered areas, the letters A, B, or C are written in the area adjacent to specific system features.

These letters indicate the following:

A - This feature always affects external wiring. Refer to system wiring and interconnection drawings for

details.

B - This feature may affect external wiring. Refer to system wiring and interconnection drawings for details.

C - This feature affects unit backbox installation. See the section of this manual dealing with backboxes for

details.

Basic Multiplex Equipment Order and Specification Sheet M-l 204 (Figure 4)

The BMUX equipment order and specification sheet identifies BMUX components and defines overall system limits.

Examine the numbered areas on this sheet. Each area contains information that relates to system installation. For
example, Area 1 tells you how many communications channels are present in the system. Area 1 also tells you if
the channels use a single pair of wires (“STANDARD DC”) or two pairs of wires (“MCCULLOCH LOOP DC”).
The “A” in the quantity column means that these options always affect external wiring.

Look at Area 2 on the specification sheet. Notice that the “33 AH (PAIR)” battery standby option has the letter “C”
in the quantity column. Therefore, this feature affects the BMUX’s backbox installation.

2120 Pre-Configured CPU, CPU/SCC Multiplex Equipment Order Sheet OV-004 (Figure 8)

In certain systems, form M-1204 will not be supplied with the system documentation. Instead, the 2120 pre-

configured CPU, CPUSCC multiplex equipment order sheet will be supplied. Notice that the information supplied

in the OV-004 form is very similar to that supplied in the M-1204 form. The difference is that the pre-configured
multiplex order sheet refers only to “standard,” predefined 2120 multiplex systems.

Another form is supplied with the pre-configured multiplex order sheet. This may either be:

l

The transponder equipment order and specification sheet defines the transponder equipment associated with a
specific transponder cabinet. One sheet will be supplied for each group of transponders in a cabinet. Older versions
of the specification sheet have a transponder specification worksheet at the bottom of the form. This worksheet

defines the parameters of the first transponder in a cabinet; any other transponders are described in form M-1202
(the transponder continuation specification sheet).

New versions of the transponder equipment order and specification sheet do not include the transponder
specification sheet. Therefore, all transponders will be described in form M-l 202.

2120 Transponder Continuation Specification Sheet M-1202 (Figure 11)

The transponder continuation specification sheet is made up of three transponder specification worksheets. Each
of these worksheets defines the parameters of a single transponder; a set of these worksheets comes with each

group of transponders located in the same cabinet.

For easy reference, tape each worksheet next to its associated transponder in the transponder cabinet.

Note:

Each transponder specification worksheet describes a specific transponder. Look at the numbered areas on each
worksheet: these areas contain information that affects the transponder’s external wiring. For example, Area 1 on
each sheet lists the custom labels for each transponder Monitor Point. These custom labels identify the circuit that
is to be monitored. Therefore, when you are making connections to a transponder’s Monitor Points, you should refer
to that transponder’s worksheet to determine where each monitored circuit is connected.

Look at Area 2 on each worksheet. This area lists the custom labels for each transponder Control Point. The custom
labels identify the circuit that is to be controlled. Refer to the specific transponder worksheet to determine where
each controlled circuit is connected.

Area 5 on each worksheet described special notes or instructions relating to a specific transponder. Make sure you
check Area 5 on each worksheet to determine if special wiring is required for each transponder.

BACKBOXES

Backboxes and cabinets (without their doors) are usually delivered prior to other system components. Make sure
that the backboxes are installed in the proper location by referring to the building’s architectural drawings. Some
boxes will have to be modified in accordance with instructions in this section. (See Figure 20 for backbox sizes.)

Backboxes whose mounting positions are not obvious contain a label indicating their mounting position. When one
of these labels is in the box, mount the box with the word “TOP” in the uppermost position.

Some backboxes will be installed side by side. Make sure you allow at least 2 inches between the backboxes to

leave enough room for the doors to swing open.

Note: Instructions for mounting doors onto backboxes are provided with the door’s mounting hardware.

SYSTEM WIRING

This section provides a description of all system wiring diagrams provided with your 2120 system. These drawings
include:

l

System interconnection drawings for the communications channels, any audio/phone lines, and all powering.

o Equipment cabinet drawings showing component locations and external (contractor) connections.

l

M-21 20 and M-2120-ET (if applicable) initiating wiring diagrams.

We will discuss each of these drawings separately.

Note: The drawings discussed in this section are samples only. Each individual 2120 system has its own set of

drawings similar to the ones shown in this manual.

System Interconnection Drawings

Each 2120 system is provided with a set of specific system interconnection drawings. These drawings include:

l

Communications channel, or data line, interconnections.

0 Power line interconnections.

l

Audio line interconnections (if applicable).

l

Telephone line interconnections (if applicable).

o A cabinet interconnection and drawing list.

The cabinet interconnection and drawing list (see sample, Figure 24) should be the first drawing you check. This
drawing tells you:

l

Which cabinets are interconnected on Channel 1 for the power line and audio sub-riser (if required).

l

Which cabinets are interconnected on Channel 2 for the power line and audio sub-riser (if required).

l

What specific cabinet wiring diagrams should be included for your system.

You should verify that all wiring diagrams listed on the cabinet interconnection and drawing list are included in your
system. Each equipment cabinet should have its own wiring diagram.

Note: If your system does NOT have all the wiring diagrams specified in the cabinet interconnection and drawing

list, notify your Simplex representative or Simplex Technical Support immediately.

Take a look at the sample in Figure 23. This table is labeled “CHANNEL 1.” Notice that all equipment on Channel

1 is listed by cabinet number. For example, the first cabinet number is called “B-MUX.” Therefore, the BMUX is the
first equipment cabinet on Channel 1. The BMUX in this case contains a local BT; therefore, transponder number
1 is located in the BMUX equipment cabinet. The associated wiring diagram number for the BMUX cabinet is 3981-

743.

CHANNEL

Cabinet Interconnection and Drawing List Close-Up

FIGURE 23

25

The second cabinet on Channel 1 contains the SCC. The SCC’s transponder number is 6. Its associated wiring
diagram number is 3981;743.

Now . . .

look at the third entry in the table. The cabinet number is specified as “1. ” That means that this cabinet
contains transponders. Under the “TRANSPONDER NUMBER(S)” column, we see that transponder numbers 2,
3, and 4 are included in cabinet number 1. The wiring diagram number for this cabinet is 3981-745. Notice also that
the “POWER LINE INTERCONNECTION” column indicates that the line from cabinet number 1 is used to

provide power for the equipment in cabinet number 2.

The fourth entry in the first table refers to cabinet number 2. You can see that transponder number 5 is included

in this cabinet. The wiring diagram number for cabinet number 2 is 3981-746. Also, we know that the transponder
located in cabinet number 2 is powered by equipment located in cabinet number 1 (see table entry for cabinet
number 1).

The table for Channel 2 is interpreted in the same way. The information provided on this drawing for your system,
will be quite similar.

Data and Power Line Interconnections

Data and power line interconnections are illustrated on the same system interconnection drawing (see sample,
Figure 25). This system interconnection drawing also includes:

l

Local BT Monitor and Control Point wiring (if the BMUX is equipped with a local BT).

l

RS232C port numbers and remote device connections.

l

Celestra clock connections (if the BMUX is equipped with a Celestra interface board).

On this system interconnection drawing, all contractor wiring is denoted by dashed lines. The connections
illustrated are “typical” . . .

meaning that you must determine the way in which your system is configured for each

data and power line interconnection.

The circled portion of Figure 25 is shown enlarged in Figure 26. Here, the BMUX local BT and AC I/O board
connections are shown. In the case of local BT connections (TB2 and TB3 in Figure 26), a reference is made to

“FIG. Kl .” This refers to Figure Kl on the M-21 20 initiating wiring diagram. Refer to this diagram to determine how

to connect the external device(s) required to the local BT I/O board.

Audio and Telephone Line Interconnections

Audio and telephone line interconnections (if applicable to your system) are listed on the same system
interconnection drawing (see sample, Figure 27). This system interconnect drawing also shows how the audio
Control Points can be wired (the audio sub-riser configuration). However, specific audio Control Point wiring is
shown in the system’s individual cabinet drawings.

On this system interconnection drawing, all contractor wiring is denoted by dashed lines. The connections
illustrated are “typical” . . . meaning that you must determine the way in which your system is configured for each
audio and telephone line interconnection.

BMUX Cabinet Drawing (Figure 28)

The BMUX cabinet drawing shows the position of each piece of equipment located in the BMUX cabinet. As you
can see in Figure 28, this particular BMUX cabinet contains:

l

One 2120 BMUX.

l

One 2001 audio panel containing an oscillator control switch module, a pre-amp monitor module, and a
microphone enclosure (ROW 4).

l

One 2001 audio panel containing an oscillator control board and an audio pre-amplifier (ROW 5).

l

One 2001 audio panel containing a tape player (ROW 6).

The following is written directly beneath ROW 6:

6 UNIT

CABINET 1 OF2

B-MUX

This indicates that the cabinet is a 6-unit cabinet, and that it is the first of two cabinets that will be installed side
by side. If you look at the drawing number (3981-743), you can see that there are two sheets to this drawing. The
second sheet of this drawing is the second cabinet. . .

in this case, the SCC cabinet, which we will discuss shortly.

Therefore, you know that the BMUX and SCC cabinets are to be installed side-by-side.

Now. . . the circled information to the right of ROW 6 in Figure 28 is enlarged below:

Two male connectors are described, both of which will mate with a corresponding female connector at the SCC
cabinet. The male connectors are labeled 7M and 8M, respectively; once the BMUX and SCC cabinets are
installed, you should locate these M connectors. There will be associated female connectors in the SCC cabinet
labeled 7F and 8F, respectively. You should connect the connectors labeled 7M and 7F together; you should
connect the connectors labeled 8M and 8F together.

This male connector is labeled 9M, and mates with a corresponding female connector in the SCC cabinet.

In general, the same nomencalture applies to any connectors which must be connected by the contractor. You will
see such connector references only in the case of two (or more) interconnected cabinets.

SCC Cabinet Drawing (Figure 29)

The SCC cabinet drawing shows the position of each piece of equipment located in the SCC cabinet. As you can
see in Figure 29, this particular SCC cabinet contains:

l

One 2120 Status Command Center (SCC).

l

One lamp driver board and one switch I/O board (ROW 2).

l

One relay driver board (ROW 3).

l

One 2001 telephone enclosure (ROW 4).

l

One audio amplifier (ROW 5).

“CABINET 2 OF 2” is written beneath the cabinet drawing. This indicates that the SCC cabinet is the second of

the two cabinets that are to be installed side by side (the first cabinet was the BMUX cabinet).

Notice that the left- and right-hand sides of the SCC cabinet drawing are labeled “CONTRACTOR
CONNECTIONS.” Any connections to be made by the contractor are indicated in these columns. Let’s look at

ROWS 1 and 2 and examine the indicated contractor connections.

The terminal block (TBl) directly to the right of ROW 1 is shown enlarged in Figure 30. The data line connections

(shown by dashed lines) are to be made by the contractor. If you look at the SCC assembly to the left, you will see

that the location of TBl on the SCC is shown. Therefore, at TBl of the SCC, you will connect the “INCOMING

DATA LINE” and outgoing data line (“CONTINUE DATA LINE”), if required, at the terminals shown.

40

Now look at the contractor connections to the right of ROW 2, shown enlarged in Figure 31. The first terminal
block (the shorter one) has two designations. A “@” is written on the terminal block itself, and “FIG. Bl” appears
directly to the right of this terminal block. The “0 ” is a reference letter; if you look at the lamp driver
2, you will see a corresponding terminal block designated “0 .” So. . the terminal block labeled ” C ” to the right

oard in ROW

6

of ROW 2 is located on the lamp driver board. The “FIG. Bl ” designation refers to Figure Bl in the M-21 20 initiating
wirfng diagrams.

The terminal blocks designated I’@” and ‘@” are interpreted in the same way. These terminal blocks are
located on the switch I/O board, and you make connections to these terminal blocks as shown in Figure Cl in the
M-21 20 initiating wiring diagrams.

All the remaining contractor connections on the left- and right-hand sides of the SCC cabinet drawing are
interpreted in the same way as the examples presented here. This includes any power line wiring (if required) and
audio/telephone wiring (if required).

Transponder Cabinet Drawings - Sample 1

‘\

Each 2120 transponder cabinet is supplied with its own cabinet drawing. This drawing shows the position of each

piece of equipment located in the transponder cabinet, as well as all contractor connections for each transponder

in the cabinet. We are going to examine two such cabinet drawings.

Take a look at Figure 32. This transponder cabinet drawing shows four basic transponders (BTs), each of which

uses a standard relay board for Monitor and Control Point wiring. The cabinet is also equipped with a “BT/FABT
PWR BD” (ROW 6). Notice that the left-hand side of this transponder cabinet drawing is labeled “CONTRACTOR
CONNECTIONS.” The illustrations in this column show the data line connections for the units in this cabinet. Let’s

take a closer look at the connections shown.

The terminal block to the left of ROW 2 (TBl) is shown enlarged in Figure 33. Notice that the reference letter “@”

appears directly above this terminal block. If you lo k at the BT controller board shown in ROW 2 (Figure 32), you
can see a corresponding terminal block labeled “
2 is located on the BT controller board.

A .” So the terminal block labeled “@” to the left of ROW

6

You should make the “INCOMING DATA LINE” connections to this terminal block as shown.

Now. :

. the terminal block labeled “ @

” to the left of ROW 5 is shown enlarged in Figure 34. This terminal block
is located on the BT controller board in ROW 5. You should make the connections for the outgoing data line
(“CONTINUE DATA LINE”) as shown.

Note: The incoming and outgoing data line connections are made at the first and last transponders in the cabinet,

respectively. The data lines between the four transponders are factory-connected.

Looking at Figure 32 again, you can see that the right-hand side of this cabinet drawing is broken up into two
columns. The first column illustrates the contractor connections for the Monitor Points on each transponder. The
second column illustrates the contractor connections for the Control Points on each transponder. Let’s look at the

Monitor and Control Point connections shown for the transponder in ROW 2.

The contractor connections to the right of ROW 2 are enlarge

Points are made at terminal block TB2. The reference letter “

referenced figures are located in the 2120 initiating wiring diagrams . . refer to the reference
the proper way to connect the monitored devices to the Monitor Point. As indicated by the ” Y ” designation, the
three remaining Monitor Points on this terminal block are connected just like the sample shown for the first Monitor

figure to determine

8

Point.

41

Beneath TB2 in Figure 35 is the terminal block for the last four Monitor Points (TB3), designated by a “@.” The

“ C ” tells you that this terminal

shown for TB2.

Connections for the BT’s Control Points are made at terminal block TBl, as shown in Figure 35. The reference letter
”

D ” tells you that TBl is located on the right-hand side of the standard relay board shown in ROW 2 of Figure

0

32. Notice that this terminal block has “FIG E” written beside it. “FIG E” refers to Figure E in the M-2120 initiating
wiring diagrams. See the referenced figure to determine the proper way to connect external devices to the Control
Points.

We have only described contractor connections for the first transponder in this particular cabinet. However, all
contractor connections are interpreted in the same way. For each transponder, be sure to:

l

Check both sides of the drawing for contractor connections.

l

Use the designated reference letter to physically locate the terminal block.

l

Refer to the data and power line system interconnection drawing to determine the possible source and
destination of data and power lines.

l

Refer to referenced figures in the M-21 20 initiating wiring diagrams to see how you connect external devices
to a transponder’s Monitor and Control Points.

Transponder Cabinet Drawings-Sample 2

We have discussed one sample of a 2120 transponder cabinet drawing. All such drawings are interpreted in much

the same way. However, there are two other aspects of 2120 systems that need some discussion: the audio sub-

riser configuration, and the telephone line interconnection.

lock is located at the bottom of the standard relay board shown in ROW 2 of

Y ” designation, the Monitor Points on TB3 are connected just like the sample

6

Take a look at Figure 36. The transponder cabinet shown is quite similar to the one in Figure 32; the only difference

involves the audio and telephone line connections shown. Let’s focus on the contractor connections shown in the
second column to the right of ROW 1 (“CONTRACTOR CONNECTIONS/RELAY BOARD CONTROL
POINTS”). These connections are enlarged in Figure 37.

The terminal blocks shown in Figure 37 (TBl through TB3) are located on the audio relay board in ROW 1, as
indicated by the reference letter ”
audio system. Notice that the incoming audio line (“AUDIO SUB-RISER IN”) is also connected to terminals on
TBl. Therefore, the speaker circuits connected to TBl are fed by the 2120 audio sub-riser. Refer to the audio and
telephone line system interconnection drawing to determine the possible source of the incoming audio line.

Moving on to TB2, you can see that connections to this terminal block are made according to “FIG K” in the M-2120
initiating wiring diagrams.

Finally, look at TB3. Connections for the incoming telephone line are made at this terminal block, along with the
associated telephone circuit. The telephone circuit itself is connected according to “FIG M” in the M-2120 initiating
wiring diagrams. Refer to the audio and telephone line system interconnection drawing to determine the source of
the incoming telephone line.

In Figure 36, the telephone line continues from the last transponder at the cabinet; the audio line ends at the last

transponder in the cabinet (ROW 3). If there had been other audio speaker circuits in the system, the outgoing audio
line would have been connected to appropriate terminals on TBl in ROW 3.

Expanded Transponder Cabinet Drawings (Figure 38)

The expanded transponder (ET) cabinet drawings are similar to the “standard” transponder cabinet drawings we

have already discussed. The left- and right-hand sides of the ET drawings are devoted to contractor connections.

The terminal blocks illustrated have reference letters so that you can easily locate each terminal block on the ET

itself. Similarly, figure references to M-2120-ET initiating wiring diagrams are made at each Monitor and Control
Point terminal block for appropriate contractor connections.

Note: The M-2120-ET initiating wiring diagrams are not the same as the M-21 20 initiating wiring diagrams. DO

NOT CONFUSE THE TWO.

The ET cabinet drawing also uses numerical references enclosed in squares (e.g.,

boards located in an ET, and these boards are numbered for easy reference. Therefore, when you see a numeric
reference next to a terminal block in the contractor connections column, look for the corresponding number on the
cabinet layout. In this way you can easily relate each set of contractor connections to the associated ET circuit
board.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

So far in this publication, we have discussed the various documents that are supplied with every new 2120 system.
After studying the examples provided, you should be able to accurately interpret the documents supplied with your
system. Remember: even though there may be many documents provided, they are all interpreted in the same
way as the examples in this publication.

Now that you know how to interpret system documentation, we need to spend some time discussing the installation
itself. Therefore, this segment of the manual is devoted to a general guide for all 2120 installations.

Installation Precautions

Before you install any part of a new 2120 system, there are precautions you need to know and apply to your
particular installation. These precautions are listed below; if you adhere to the rules they provide, your installation
should proceed smoothly and safely.

A. Used twisted, shielded pair for the following:

l

Data lines.

l

Audio and telephone lines.

. RS232C ports.

Note: Monitor Point wiring may or may not require twisted, shielded pair. Refer to the 2120 Field Wiring

Specifications (900-036) for specific recommendations.

B. Each equipment cabinet should be connected to building ground via a single, unbroken conductor (12AWG

wire, typical).

C. DO NOT MAKE ANY CONNECTIONS TO BASIC TRANSPONDERS (BTs), FIRE ALARM BASIC

TRANSPONDERS (FABTs), OR EXPANDED TRANSPONDERS (ETs) WITH POWER APPLIED. This

includes all Monitor and Control Point wiring.

D. Before applying power to new equipment:

l

Verify that power connections have been terminated at the proper terminals.

l

Verify that equipment with a mixture of high and low voltages has all connections properly terminated (for
example, transponders containing low-voltage Monitor Point wiring and high-voltage Control Point
wiring).

l

Verify that all wiring is free of grounds.

E. Apply power to equipment ONLY in the presence of a qualified Simplex Technical Representative and in the

following sequence:

1. Apply AC power first.

2. Apply battery power last.

Reverse this sequence when you power down equipment.

F. NEVER APPLY OR DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT POWER BY USING AN INTERCONNECT PLUG.

G. Do not remove the end-of-line (EOL) resistors on transponder Monitor Points until you are ready to install the

Monitor Point wiring.

56

Installation Guide

The following is a set of recommended procedures to following during installation. Before you begin wiring the
system:

l

Ensure that all system interconnection and wiring diagrams required for your system are provided.

l

All backboxes (cabinets) and the associated equipment should be properly installed AND grounded via a
single, unbroken conductor (12AWG, typical). Conduit ground is NOT sufficient.

1. Connect the data line between all equipment first. To do so, you must:

l

Refer to the 2120 General System Features form to see whether each data line equipped is single line
(one pair of wires, with shield, option number 6201) or McCulloh loop (two pairs of wires, with shields,
option number 6202).

l

Refer to the appropriate system interconnection diagram to see how cabinet-to-cabinet connections are
made.

l

Refer to the individual equipment cabinet drawings to determine how the data line is terminated at each
equipment cabinet.

2. Next, connect the audio lines (if audio is equipped) between all equipment associated with the audio system. To
do so, you must:

l

Refer to the cabinet interconnection and drawing list (part of the system interconnection drawings) to see

which equipment cabinets are interconnected for the audio sub-riser configuration.

l

Refer to the appropriate system interconnection diagram to see how cabinet-to-cabinet audio connections
are made.

l

Refer to the cabinet drawings specified in the cabinet interconnection and drawing list to determine how
the audio sub-riser is connected to audio Control Points at each equipment cabinet.

3. Connect the telephone lines (if telephone is equipped) between all equipment associated with the telephone
system. To do so, you must:

l

Refer to the appropriate system interconnection diagram to see how cabinet-to-cabinet telephone line
connections are made.

l

Refer to the appropriate cabinet drawings to determine how the telephone line is terminated at each
equipment cabinet. The specification sheet (or transponder specification worksheet, for transponders) for
each piece of equipment will tell you if the telephone line is associated with that piece of equipment.

4. Connect the power lines between all equipment cabinets as required. To do so, you must:

l

Refer to the cabinet interconnection and drawing list to see which equipment cabinets are interconnected

for the power line configuration.

l

Refer to the appropriate system interconnection diagram to see how cabinet-to-cabinet power

connections are made.

l

Refer to the cabinet drawings specified in the cabinet interconnection and drawing list to determine how

the power line is connected at each equipment cabinet, if such a connection is required.

57

5. At this point, enough connections have been made for a Simplex Technical Representative (TR) to check out
the basic operation of your 2120 system. It is recommended that you contact your local TR and have him verify
that all data, audio/telephone, and power line connections have been properly made. Then the TR will have you

apply power to the system so that he can verify the operation of the system’s basic components. When the TR
has completed his preliminary checkout, power-down all equipment.

6. Wire all external devices for the Monitor and Control Point circuitry. To do so, you must:

l

Refer to each equipment cabinet drawing to determine where each transponder’s Monitor and Control
Point circuit is terminated.

l

Refer to the M-21 20 or M-2120-ET initiating wiring diagrams, as appropriate, to determine how peripheral
devices are connected to a transponder’s Monitor and Control Points.

As you finish wiring a group of external devices, verify that your wiring is free from grounds before terminating
each circuit to its associated Monitor or Control Point.

Note: Monitor Point wiring includes an EOL resistor at the end of each circuit (with the exception of McCulloh loop

Monitor Point circuitry). Therefore, as you connect each Monitor Point to its associated circuit, remove the
EOL resistor connected at the Monitor Point terminal (this EOL resistor was installed by the factory).

8. Now that the system is completely installed, you should again contact your local TR. The TR will completely
check out your system. Once he has completed his checkout he will either notify you of any wiring problems he
encountered, or will let you know that the system is operating properly.

9. Correct any wiring defects the TR found. If no defects were found, then the installation phase of your job is
complete. If there were wiring defects, contact the TR after you have corrected the problem and have him verify
that your system is now operating properly.
