Overview:
Altronix manufactures a wide variety of sub-assemblies suitable for many tasks in fire alarm, access control,
network communications, surveillance, and other security applications.
Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and
with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only and should be
installed by qualified personnel.
Refer to individual Sub-Assembly Installation Guides for mounting and connecting specific boards.
Installing LINQ2 Board:
1. Using the mounting bracket mount the LINQ2 network module to the desired location on the enclosure.
Secure the module by tightening the longer screw on the front edge of the mounting bracket (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
2. Connect one end of the supplied interface cable(s) to the ports marked [Power Supply 1] and
[Power Supply 2] on LINQ2 (Fig. 1, pg. 2). When connecting to one power supply use the connector
marked [Power Supply 1].
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the interface port of each eFlow power supply board.
4. Connect Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) to the RJ45 jack on the LINQ2 network module.
For access control and fire alarm signalling applications the cable connection has to terminate is the same room.
Refer to the LINQ2 Installation Manual.

Installation Instructions for Trove1:
1. Fasten standoffs onto metal pems configuration (A) or configuration (B) of enclosure depending on the
sub-assembly module (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
2. Position sub-assembly module over corresponding standoffs and secure module into enclosure with four (4)
pan head screws supplied (Fig. 2a, pg. 3).
3. Refer to the Trove1 Installation Guides and individual Sub-Assembly Installation Guides for the
following models: ACM4(CB), LINQ2, LINQ8PD(CB), MOM5, PD4UL(CB), PD8UL(CB), PD16W(CB),
PDS8(CB), ACMS8(CB), VR6 for further installation instructions.

NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements:
Power-limited and non power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the enclosure. All power-limited
circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25” away from any non power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all
power-limited circuit wiring and non power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the enclosure through
different conduits. One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may require different
conduit knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used. For power-limited applications use of
conduit is optional. All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed
wire (or equivalent substitute).
Note: Refer to wire handling drawing below for the proper way to install the CM or FPL jacketed wire
(Fig. 3a, pg. 4).
