Mercantile Premises Listing Guidelines
• The panel door must be supervised. Mount the
clip-on tamper switch (supplied) to the cabinet's
right side wall and wire it to zone 6.
• Assign zone 6 to a burglary partition. Program it
for day trouble/night alarm (zone type 5) when only
one burglary partition is used. Program it for 24-
hr. audible alarm (zone type 7) when more than one
burglary partition is used. Enable field 3*17 so
that the system responds to a ground fault in
accordance with its zone type rather than a ground
fault response.
• All wiring between the transformer and panel must
be run in conduit. Remaining wires do not need to
be run in conduit.
• All unused knockouts must be plugged using the
disc plugs and carriage bolts (supplied), as
indicated in Figure 3-2.
• Fasten the cabinet door to the cabinet backbox
using the 15 one-inch-long Phillips-head screws
(supplied) after all wiring, programming, and
checkout procedures have been completed.
