Operating Instructions

ACT 1313

12V Spike Suppressor

No matter how far you keep alarm cables away from mains, telephone and
other electrical wiring, ‘Induced AC’ and ‘Electrical Spikes’ will eventually cause
unexplained false alarms or system malfunctions.
The main culprits for false alarms include: nearby lightning, fluorescent lights,
fridges, freezers, central heating, computers, motors and other common electrical
appliances.
To prevent random phantom alarms, fit an ACT 1313 to every alarm system as
standard. Fit just one to the control panel and each PSU.
Connect Red+ and Black- across the 12V DC auxiliary supply (same 12V supply
used for PIRs), and Green to mains Earth. It’s that simple!
After fitting, test to ensure that induced AC voltage has fallen to within 1.2VAC
by connecting a multimeter between Earth and 12VDC.
