4.11 DC Output And Alarm Wiring

Recommended wire size:

• DC output: 2 x #16 AWG

• Alarm wiring: 5 x #24 AWG

• Ground: #16 AWG

1. If wall-mounting the FMPS, select a knockout to the right of the DC output block and remove it using a

hammer and punch.

2. Insert the terminal end of the customer-supplied DC and alarm wiring through the sealing nut of the Heyco

fitting (provided), and through the selected knockout.

3. Connect the ground wire to #10 ground stud, M4 thread (optional ground reference wire to ONT).

4. Run the #16 AWG DC wiring and #24 AWG alarm wiring through the threaded end of the Heyco fitting and

mate the fitting halves. Tighten snug.

NOTE: Recommended hybrid wire for use is Belden P/N YR53034 or equivalent.

5. Create a drip loop (Figure 9) and use tie-wraps to secure the wiring.

6. Connect the terminal end of the DC wiring to the DC output block as follows:

• Red wire = positive (RED) (48Vdc with respect to Black – )

• Black wire = negative return (BLACK)

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the output connections. Excessive torque can break the connectors.

7. Open (pull out) the alarm IDC connectors (small orange connectors) and insert the #24 AWG alarm wires into

the connectors. Press the connectors shut to complete the connections. See inside cover for alarm wiring

details.

NOTE: The FMPS complies with PacketCable™ alarm monitoring standards. Alarm monitoring parameters are

configured HI Active.
