How do I correctly wire a NOTIFIER B710LP Plug In Detector Base?

[AmyMarie]

To ensure your NOTIFIER B710LP Plug In Detector Base is wired correctly, follow these steps: First, adhere to the color-coding of wires, as this minimizes errors. Second, for the signal wiring between interconnected detectors, use wire no smaller than AWG 18, though the base can accommodate up to AWG 12. Consider using twisted pair or shielded cable for the power loop to reduce electrical interference. If using shielded cable, maintain a continuous shield connection. When connecting wires, strip about 3/8” of insulation, place the bare wire under the clamping plate, and tighten it securely; avoid looping the wire. Before installing detector heads, check the zone wiring for continuity, polarity, and perform dielectric tests. Finally, use the label on the base to record the zone, address, and detector type for proper detector head configuration. Proper wiring is crucial for the optimal functionality of your 2-wire intelligent system.
