Note the following when selecting wiring

- Foall wiring (except network wiring), use 2-conductor (solid copper) wiring with a PE (polyethylene)-insulated PVC jacket.

Mid-capacitance, non-shielded wiring is recommended.

  • A certified power supply wiring has to be used with this equipment. The relevant national installation and/or equipment regulations shall be considered. A certified power supply wiring not lighter than ordinary polyvinyl chloride flexible wiring according to IEC 60227 shall be used.
  • When connecting an electric lock, select a device that meets the following guidelines. Electric lock connection terminal (Relay box: S1/S2):

– N/O dry closure contact

- 12 V AC/DC, less than 1 A
