Overview

The 82-5202-XX email/text generator is capable of monitoring up to 2 sets of contacts and sending out an email and/or text message due to the following events:

• a monitored contact opens or closes
• the generator is powered on
• the generator loses connection to power or WiFi network

One or two email.text generator modules are installed in a plastic housing that has a  conduit hub on the bottom.  n AC power supply is installed to the left of the email/text generator(s). The power supply’s AC input terminals are wired to a terminal strip at the bottom of the mounting plate to make it easy to connect power at the installation site.

Installation

1. Select the mounting site. When you select the mounting site consider the following factors:

   • Is an AC power source available?
   • Is there enough room to open the housing door and make wiring connections (see Figure 2)?

2. The mounting feet and hardware to install the mounting feet are shipped in a bag inside the housing. Install the mounting feet as shown below.
   

3. Position the monitor on a vertical surface at eye level (4 1/2 to 5 feet from the floor).

4.  Use 3/16” screws through the slots in the mounting feet at each corner of the housing to secure the housing to the mounting surface.

5. The contact terminal strip(s) and email/text generator module(s) are shipped uninstalled and stored in the enclosure. Plug the email/text generator module(s) into the USB port standoff(s).
   NOTE: Leave the contact terminal strip(s) uninstalled until the relay contacts have been connected.

Figure 2: Dimensions

Wiring

1. Unscrew and remove the kep nuts from the AC terminal strip’s cover.

2. Route the AC wires through the conduit hub on the bottom of the housing.

3. Connect a line wire from the AC power source to the “H” terminal on the AC terminal strip.

4. Connect a neutral wire from the AC power source to the “N” terminal on the AC terminal strip.

5. Connect a ground wire from the AC power source to the “G” terminal on the AC terminal strip.

6. Reinstall the AC terminal strip’s cover using the kep nuts.
   
   Figure 3: AC Wiring

7. To wire the relay contacts, remove the contact-monitoring terminal(s) from the email/text generator module(s) if plugged in.

8. Connect the two wires to the terminal strip as follows (see Figure 4).
   a. Connect the common wire to the ground (bottom) terminal.
   b. Connect the relay contact wire (normally opened or normally closed) to the “L” terminal.
   NOTE: Disregard the middle terminal labeled “R”. The monitoring terminals function only as contact monitors and are not used to power any components.

9. Plug the contact-monitoring terminal(s) into the email generator module(s).

10. For 82-5202-02 generators, repeat Step 7 through Step 9 to wire and install the second contact-monitoring terminal strip.

11. Plug in power to the email/text generator.
