By default, Konnected assumes a NC circuit.

Then, connect the signal pair to any zone and G on the Konnected Alarm Panel board. Remove the end-of-line resistor and power supervision relay wired at the last smoke detector in the chain ( WARNING: This disables any fault detection!). Connecting Directly to the Konnected Alarm PanelĬonnecting the red/black pair of wires to the AUX +/- respectively to power the smoke detector with 12V DC. Ensure that you use the 12V power supply that comes with your Konnected kit, and test that you have adequate power by sounding the siren and testing the smoke detector simultaneously.Ī backup battery should be used to ensure that your smoke detectors still work in the event of a power outage. Powering Low Voltage Smoke DetectorsĤ-wire smoke detectors wired to the Konnected Alarm Panel will share power with the Konnected device, your other wired sensors, and siren. This is a non-standard use of these smoke detectors and this connection method does NOT meet fire safety standards in the U.S. However, the Konnected Alarm Panel can detect the simple open or closed circuit when connected directly to the Normally Open signal loop to signal a smoke alarm detection to your smart home platform. The Konnected Alarm Panel is not standards compliant and cannot be used to detect faults. Standards-compliant 4-wire smoke alarm installations will include an end-of-line resistor and power supervision relay that enables a standards-compliant panel to detect wiring faults and/or power faults.
