The spade lug termi- is connected to the base terminal as shown in Figure 5. is not acceptable for three stripped wires to be under the same wiring terminal unless they are separated by a washer a lug like the spade lug supplied with the model RA400Z. See Figure 5 for installation. WIRE WITH LUG 5. Connection to Remote Annunciator Terminal. B310LP base is intended for use in a 2-wire addressable system, with screw terminals provided for power (+ and remote annunciator connections. Communication takes place over the power (+ and lines.

Mounting Detector to Box electrical connections by stripping about 3/8″ (10 mm) of insulation from the end of the wire (use strip gauge in base), sliding the bare end of the wire under the clamping plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw. Do loop the wire under the clamping plate. zone wiring of the detector base should be checked before the detector heads are installed in them. The wiring be checked for continuity and polarity in the base, and dielectric tests should be performed.
