Door Alarm Multiplexers - Hardwired

Door alarm multiplexers are generally mounted high on the side of a

building or high on a wall in a hallway that allows access by ladder

for maintenance if needed, but is out of reach of the general public.

Multiplexers should never be mounted inside of a unit that will be rented

or otherwise inaccessible. Multiplexer boxes are weather-resistant and

can be mounted in exterior locations, but not under a downspout.

Wireless door alarm multiplexers are generally mounted in the

office or security cabinet with the receiver mounted high on a wall.

Repeaters are generally located as needed throughout the property,

but must have access to 120VAC power.

Most hardwired door alarm switches and magnets are placed on

the inside latch side of the door. Wireless door alarm transmitters

are usually placed on the other side of the door. Switch and magnet

installation must never interfere with door movement.

Power for AI devices is provided by the controller. Additional power

supplies for the AI devices may be placed throughout the site as

necessary for voltage drop and current draw considerations.

Additional power supplies must always be wired with an RB5 relay to

allow central reset capability. See Adding Additional Power Supplies

for more information. Power for other equipment such as cameras,

sirens, door strikes, and gates must be considered per manufacturer

recommendations.

Relay boards are generally installed in interior locations or inside

junction boxes that are accessible for maintenance if needed. Relay

boards should never be mounted inside a unit that will be rented

or otherwise inaccessible. Relay boards for elevator controls will

generally be in or very near the elevator control room.

DVRs, alarm panels, sirens, cameras, and most other equipment will

be located as to manufacturer recommendations.
