ENERAL I NSTRUCTION FOR E LECTRICAL W IRING :
1. Refer to Table 10 to determine the required wire gauge for general wiring,
such as relay wiring. Calculate the permitted voltage fall with respect to loads
current, wire gauge, length of wires.
2. Refer to Table 11 to select wire gauge for detectors power supply wires. DO
NOT connect any device or load to detectors supply inputs.
