Connecting Alarms
Introduction
The SCC-LTM and SCC-RLTM contain a terminal block that allows you to
connect up to three audible alarms and three visual alarms. These alarms alert you
to critical, major, and minor conditions. The left six screw terminals on the
terminal block are available for visual alarms, such as lights; the right six screw
terminals are available for audible alarms, such as bells.

Warning:
The contacts on the terminal block are rated at 30 VAC and
have a maximum current rating of 1 ampere (A). The circuit connecting
the alarms must meet the requirements for safety extra-low voltage
(SELV). The wires connecting the alarms must be the appropriate gauge
for alarm devices.
