The procedure for installing and grounding the Alarm cable is as follows:

Connect the screening to position A on the drawer assembly with a cable-tie (refer to
Figure9 for details). Ensure the cable screen firmly touches the sidewall of the drawer
as this provides the grounding of the cable screen.

Push the drawer back into its slot horizontally until the drawer pin matches the internal
connector of the PDA and secure the two thumbscrews.

SiteStar alarms (Fig3).
Connect the MDR36 connector to the EAC connector of the System Module

5.3 FPRA alarm cable connection via SiteStar alarm

connection bar
Having FPRA used together with SiteStar, the FPRA alarms are possible to route via
SiteStar alarm connection bar at cabinet bottom (Fig3).

Insert the alarm cable coming from FPRA thru SiteStar cabinet cable entry.
Connect the twisted pair cables to the SiteStar alarm connection bar (Fig3) using the empty
screws terminals on left hand side of pre-wired SiteStar alarms.
Ensure the FSAA alarm cable (ref 5.2) is also connected with FPRA alarms via SiteStar
alarm connection bar.

NOTE: FPRA delivery does not include alarm cable, eg FSAA cable can be also used
between FPRA and SiteStar by cutting off connectors at both ends.
