5.11 SOUNDERS

2

All sounder wiring should be in fire retardant type cables. 1mm or greater copper cables should
be used to avoid minimum volt drop. Its may be necessary on long cable runs to use greater cable
sizes, there should be no spurring or "T offs" from the main run.

5.9 PRACTICAL WIRING OF RESISTOR BASES
FOR RESISTOR END OF LINE MONITORING

Diode bases should never be used when using EOL resistor monitoring

5.10 PRACTICAL WIRING OF DIODE RESISTOR
BASES FOR EMU END OF LINE MONITORING

5.14 REMOTE INDICATOR MODULE

5.12 AUXILIARY RELAY WIRING

The Auxiliary relay should be considered as a low
current switch, and should not be connected
directly to magnetic door holders and should only
be used to switch a larger switching relay.
