To the right of the inputs are two DIP switches, with small switches for each input. Look closely at the switch and notice that each small switch is numbered.
  • Page 28 Never apply a voltage to a thermistor. Doing so alters the thermistor’s accuracy and reliability. You should replace a thermistor that has had voltage applied to it. Never bring a soldering iron to within 3 inches of the thermistor’s sensing tip. SCX 920 Installation Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com firealarmresources.com...
  • Page 29: Figure 6. Wiring Diagram For Thermistor Input
