Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections
AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet. The primary power source for the
panel is 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.3 amps for the Flex 402/Flex 404. Run a pair of wires (with ground
conductor) from the protected premises main breaker box to TB8 of the main circuit board. As per
the National Electrical Code, use 14 AWG (2.00 mm
600V insulation. No other equipment may be connected to this circuit. In addition, this circuit
must be provided with overcurrent protection and may not contain any power disconnect devices.
A separate Earth Ground connection must be made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning
and transient protection. Connect the Earth Ground wire [minimum 14 AWG (2.00 mm
transformer mounting stud. Do not use conduit for the Earth Ground connection since this does not
provide reliable protection.

Observe polarity when connecting the battery. Connect the battery cable to J8 on the main circuit
board using the plug-in connector and cable provided. The battery charger is current-limited and
capable of charging sealed lead acid batteries. The charger shuts off when the system is in alarm.
