Step 2: Connect your Room Entry Sensor to Room Alert.
Do not connect the switch sensor inputs (dry contacts) on AVTECH products to any live
circuit.
Use only low-voltage 2-wire cable to connect switch sensor inputs.
Your Room Entry Sensor comes with a 25' speaker cable. Follow
these steps to attach one end of the speaker cable to the Room
Entry Sensor’s leads, which are non-polarized, and the other end
to a switch port on your Room Alert:
1. Separate and strip the leads on one end of the included
