How to connect a wired input to the hub
Wired sensors are connected to the hub using terminal connections.
Terminal functions on the hub
+CN_OUT — provides +12 V power for sensors
+CN_ZONE — the signal input used to monitor the alarm loop status
–CN_ZONE — common ground (negative terminal) for both power and signal circuits
Wiring the sensor
1. Connect the sensor's positive power wire (+) to the +CN_OUT terminal
2. Connect the sensor's negative power wire (–) to the –CN_ZONE terminal
3. Connect the alarm loop signal wire to the +CN_ZONE terminal
Connecting the alarm loop
If the sensor requires separate power, such as a PIR motion detector:
-
Connect the positive power wire (+) to +CN_OUT
-
Connect the negative power wire (–) to –CN_ZONE
This ensures proper circuit operation.
The alarm loop wiring method depends on the sensor contact type:
-
NC (Normally closed) — an alarm is triggered when the circuit is opened.
-
NO (Normally open) — an alarm is triggered when the circuit is closed.
If multiple sensors are connected to the same alarm loop:
-
For NC contacts, connect the sensors in series (one after another).
-
For NO contacts, connect the sensors in parallel (each sensor connected on a separate branch).
