Kal, and others,
I noted some discrepancies between the wiring schematics and the pictures provided.
For example, the 120 V buzzer has more wires connected to it on the picture (4) than on the schematic drawing (2).
The same counts for the 120 V blue power light (4 wires versus 2 wires on the picture and drawing, respectively).
Am I overlooking something ?
thanks

thanks for replying.
I had thought about that too but it seems the safe start interlock installation does not bring additional wires to the buzzer and/or lights?

It looks like those are the hot and neutral that supply the timing and alarm circuit.

You are correct. You're not seeing things.
The reason you may see more wires is that instead of wiring all the way back to the NEUTRAL or HOT bus (for example) I'll just connect to something else that wires back. No need to have 10 wires that go all the way back.
The drawings are made to stand alone... so that they don't rely on how everything else may be wired.
So in some of the circuits, devices that need to wire to the HOT and NEUTRAL bus may instead go to the BLUE power light that itself wires back to the HOT and NEUTRAL bus.
I added some text:
Quote: | You may notice what appears to be extra wires in some of the close-up photos when compared to the wiring diagrams. This is normal. For example, in the wiring diagram immediately below the 120V power light connects to the HOT and NEUTRAL bus only (2 wires, one black, one white) but in the photos further below there are 4 wires. This is because other parts that need to be wired to the HOT and NEUTRAL bus later on were wired to the two sides of the 120V power light instead. The result is the same. There's no need to send 10 pairs of wires all the way back to the buses each time. |
