Pluggable terminal block connectors
For the contact and relay ports, the CORE 3 makes use of pluggable terminal
block connectors which are removable plastic parts that locks in individual
wires (included).
To connect a device to the pluggable terminal block:
1 Insert one of the wires required for your device into the appropriate
opening in the pluggable terminal block you reserved for that device.
2 Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screw and secure the
wire in the terminal block.
Example: To add a motion sensor (see Figure 3), connect its wires
to the following contact openings:
• Power input to +12V
• Output signal to SIG
• Ground connector to GND
Note: To connect dry contact closure devices, such as doorbells,
connect the switch between +12 (power) and SIG (signal).
