near a dedicated 115 VAC outlet connected to the facility's Emergency Power Circuit

(i.e., connected to a backup power source), suitable for computer-grade equipment,

and within 2' of the NC351(A)/2. Interconnect the NC351(A)/2 and PK305/A using

the provided interconnection cable (CT305).

The PK305/A must always be powered down when the central equipment is

powered down. Do not stack equipment on top of the NC351(A), NC351(A)/2

or PK305/A. Do not locate these devices near other electrical systems, such

as fire alarm panels, electrical motors, air conditioning equipment, etc.

PK304, PK306 Master Station Power Supply: The PK304 provides +12 VDC power to
