Appendix A - Wire Selection Tables
General Instructions For Electrical Wiring
1. Refer to Table 13 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 and length of wires.
2. Refer to Table 14 to select wire gauge for power supply wires. DO NOT
connect any circuit or load to detectors’ supply inputs.
