NOTES:
1. Recommended wire sizes:
18 AWG minimum, 14 AWG maximum
2. Wire larger than 14 AWG can damage the connector.
3. When using shielded cable without metal raceway or with
nonmetallic raceway, the shields should be terminated at the
device ground terminal. If the device box is already grounded by
another means, such as being mounted to a grounded structure, the
wire shields should be continuous and must be grounded solely at
the point of origin; for example, at the control panel.
4. When using shielded cable with metal raceway, the wiring shields
shall be continuous and grounded solely at the point of origin. The
device ground terminal shall be connected to the grounded device
box.
5. When using metal raceway without shielded cable, connect the
device ground terminal to the grounded device box.
6. Metal raceway should be thoroughly grounded throughout the
system.
7. The 8700-M draws 1mA from the addressable device circuit.
8. The 8700-M is a polarity insensitive device. Line 1 and Line 2 can
be either line of the loop.
INSTALLATION
Distribute the manual station boxes throughout the protected area so that they are unobstructed, readily
accessible, and located in the normal exit path. Place the manual station according to the regulations of
the authorities having jurisdiction.
Surface Mounting
Mount the backplate to a Model F4 Backbox as shown in Figure 3.
Flush Mounting
Mount the backplate to a user supplied single gang switchbox as shown in Figure 3.
Do not overtighten the screws. Overtightening may distort the backplate.
