In addition to the components listed above, you may need some of the follow-
ing tools and materials. Please be sure you have everything you need before
beginning the installation.
✦ Medium-sized Phillips Screwdriver
✦ 9-volt Alkaline Battery
✦ Drill with #36 (.106” or 2.5 mm) and #29 (.136” or 3.5 mm) drill bits
✦ Standard Switch Box (if you wish to mount the console on a wall with the wires
running inside the wall)
U SING THE L ABEL S HEET
We have provided two sheets of labels which should aid you in your installa-
tion. The majority of the labels on the sheets are cable labels for marking the
ends of each cable. These labels contain connector codes which will help you
attach the correct cable to the correct connector. We have included two label
sheets so you can label both ends of each cable with the same label.
Cable Connector Codes
To simplify installation, we have coded each connector and included the code
on the cable label and on the circuit board or enclosure next to the appropriate
connector. Most connector codes include a letter and a number. The letter iden-
tifies the module or unit on which the connector is located while the number
identifies the specific connector. The following letter codes identify the mod-
ule/unit on which a connector is located.
✦ S = Sensor Interface Module
✦ P = Power
✦ C = Console
✦ L = WeatherLink
✦ B = Battery and Solar Power
✦ A = Alarm Output Module
✦ PC = Computer
Labelling the Cables
Any installation is going to include a number of cables running from various
sensors and components to other components. To alleviate confusion, we have
included label sheets which you should use to mark your cables. Before you
begin installation (but after you have cut each cable to the desired length), lay
out all of your cables and attach the appropriate label to each end of each cable.
Make sure you label every cable end, including extension cables. Doing this
now will help prevent confusion during the installation and whenever you
need to disconnect a sensor/component.
