Grade A Mercantile Premises Listing Guidelines
• The panel door must be supervised. Mount the
clip-on tamper switch (supplied) to the cabinet’s
right side wall as shown in the diagram below, and
wire it to one of the hardwire zones.
• Use a bell with a tamper-protected housing such as
the AB12. The bell housing’s tamper switch and
inner tamper linings must also be wired to the
hardwire zone.
• Assign the tampers’ hardwire zone to a burglary
partition. Program the hardwire zone for day
trouble/night alarm (zone type 5) when only one
burglary partition is used. Program it for 24-hr.
audible alarm (zone type 7) when more than one
burglary partition is used.
• All wiring between the bell and panel must be run
in conduit. Remaining wires do not need to be run
in conduit.
• All wiring that is not run in conduit must exit from
the knockout openings on the bottom or back of the
cabinet.
• All unused knockouts must be plugged using the
disc plugs and carriage bolts (supplied), as
indicated in the diagram below.
