Wiring and Setup of Optiflex
Before wiring Optiflex, make sure power is turned off and review the important notes below.

1. Use a Listed Class 2 power supply suited for the application (see Section 5:
Specifications).
2.
Panel triggered UL Installations
: Optiflex may be connected as a supplemental device to
listed fire and/or burglar alarm control panels that support the 4204 relay module except
as noted below.
• In UL installations, Optiflex may be connected to panels that have ground fault
detection only if the local authority having jurisdiction allows the ground fault
detection feature to be disabled.
• In non-UL installations requiring ground fault detection, when possible, use cameras
powered by a power source such as a plug-in transformer that is not earth grounded
and isolate the camera's mounting brackets from earth ground. Connect a video
ground loop isolation device such as Vicon's V235GLTA Ground Loop Transformer
to the coaxial cable that runs between Optiflex and the video monitor or recorder (or
camera if required) causing the ground fault. Video ground loop isolation devices
are not UL listed and may not be used in UL installations.
Optiflex is supplied with a header connector. Insert wires into the connector and secure
by placing the header arms in the down position (see Figure 3). When all wires are
secured, mount the header on Optiflex by snapping into place.
