Primary Power Supply
5.1  AC terminals 1 and 2
Connect the transformer wires to terminals 1 and 2 on the panel. Use no more than 70 ft. of 16 gauge, or  
40 ft. of 18 gauge, wire between the transformer and the panel.
 
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices: The panel must be properly grounded 
before connecting any devices or applying power to the panel.  Proper grounding protects against 
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components. See Earth ground, in the Secondary
Power Supply section.
5.2  Transformer Types
The transformer for the panel is 16.5 VAC 40 VA, which provides up to 1.5 Amps of bell output current,
500mA of auxiliary current, and 100mA of smoke detector output. You can use either the Model 320 wire-in
or 321 plug-in transformer with the panel. The total current available is limited by the total battery standby
requirements of the installation.  
 The transformer must be connected to a 120 VAC 60 Hz commercial power outlet that is not con trolled by a
wall switch.  
Never share the transformer output with any other equipment.
