Power Supply connection and Power Limited. 12 VDC Aux. Output Ground BELL + BELL - Telephone Jack Connector Figure 8: iComSL Series Wiring Diagram for Tip and Ring Connection Zones 1 - 4 Input Connection Connect each burglary control panel relay output to a iComSL Series Communicator zone. For programming purposes, the zone numbers are 1 - 4. (See Figure 9 for wiring details). An example of how you might use this application: You can use a normally closed output on the burglary control panel to indicate a burglary alarm. The RESET iComSL zone should be programmed with a zone name and zone type of Burg. When the output on the control panel turns on and trips the iComSL zone, a message will be sent to an SCS-1R or SCS-VR receiver at Central LOAD Station. You could use the zone name programming to describe which control panel zone indicated a burglary.
