TPM Alarm Schematic

NOTES:

1. The resistance, R, must be provided by the end-user

to limit the alarm output current to a maximum of

20 mA. The value, R, should be calculated using the

system voltage value.

the

END-USER CIRCUITRY must still be supplied

to provide a resistive path to the return for the

local alarm to properly function.

2. The fuse is polarized to maintain proper orientation with

the switch housing. The line and load terminals are

identified on the switch housing.
