  • Page 24: Wiring Inputs

    We recommend you run input wiring in a conduit separate from AC power or output wiring and avoid long wiring runs. The “supervisory” inputs are on the left side of the ACX 780/781. Input wires should enter from the left side. Notice that the inputs are labeled RET, IN1, IN2, RET, IN3, IN4, RET, IN5, IN6, and so on, for up to 32 inputs.
  • Page 25 • Be careful when stripping wire not to drop small pieces of wire inside the cabinet. If you violate any of these rules, the controller could malfunction. ACX 780/781 Installation Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com firealarmresources.com...
