Hired-Hand Emergency Back-Up and Alarms: Alert Alarm - Manual (Page 13)

Part No. 4801- 5085 Rev 5-01 Farm Hand Alert Alarm 11
Trouble-Shooting the Auxiliaries
The auxiliary inputs must always form a closed loop circuit. If the loop is ever open, the alarm will
sound. If an auxiliary input is sounding, the trouble can be isolated between the alarm and the circuit
by disconnecting the circuit from the terminal block in the alarm box and replacing it with a jumper
(See Section 13.5). If the corresponding auxiliary input still causes an alarm condition, the problem
is the alarm, otherwise the circuit is the culprit.
11. Controller Installation and Setup
11.1 Tools Required
Mini Screwdriver Standard Screwdriver
Wire Strippers
11.2 Installation Instructions
1. Unpack system, and check that all components are present.
1 Farm Hand Alert Alarm
1 Installation Kit
1 Fuse Kit
3 Temperature Sensors
1 Water Quantity Sensor
1 Manual
2. Hang Farm Hand Alert Alarm with four screws.
3. Make sure all power supplies are disconnected before breaking any wires, or reaching
into the Alert Alarm enclosure.
4. Open Alert Alarm and find all connections. Refer to wiring diagrams in Section 13 of this
manual.
5. Run temperature sensors out to locations inside the house. Be sure that the sensors are in
a safe location, free from any temperature influences (direct sunlight, water, etc.) Use
care when securing sensor wires so that the wire is not accidentally cut. Any short, or
break in the wire will cause improper sensor operation. Next, run the two wires into the
enclosure via the watertight connector at the bottom of the box. The wires should be cut
off andstripped. They next should be attached to the terminal block in the positions
marked Sen 1, Sen 2 and Sen 3. Note that the sensors are not polarity sensitive, and it
therefore makes no difference as to which wire goes to which sensor terminal.
6. Run water quantity sensors leads from the water meter to the controller. Use care when
securing sensor wires so that the wire is not accidentally cut. Any short, or break in the
wire will cause improper operation.
7. If using a Light Program, run the Light Signal leads to the area of the house where an
external relay can be installed. Provide dry contacts for the signal leads as shown in
Section 13.8 of this manual. The external relay should provide a closed circuit when the
lights are on and an open circuit when the lights are off.
8. After the siren is mounted, it should be wired into the control box. This is done at the
terminal block locations labeled siren red and siren white. Note that polarity is important
here and that the red siren wire must be connected into the siren red terminal block
position and the same for the white wire. Note also, any 12VDC device that uses less
than 1.5 Amps of current could be connected in the siren’s place.
9. Connect wires from Alarm terminals to the alarm circuit or relay box. (See wiring
diagrams in Section 13.4 for locations of terminals.)
