Wiring IMPORTANT: All electrical wiring connections should be made only by trained personnel, and in strict accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. The Series C controller has built-in circuitry to reduce the effects of electrical noise (RFI) from various sources. However, power and signal wires should always be kept separate. We recommend separating connecting wires into bundles: power; signal; alarms; and outputs. These bundles should then be routed through
