I like how they power everything up to test it prior to shipping, I wouldn’t expect that. I also like how everything is manufactured in America, providing more jobs. I think it is funny how employees bring the panels to the cubicles and connect alarms to them. I can only imagine all of the noises coming from that area. I wonder if they use a power cord to power the panel, and just unplug it whenever wiring it up.

1.) They don’t hook up horn/strobes. I believe they use a multimeter to test the NAC outputs.
2.) They do that. One end has a plug, and the other has three wires- hot, neutral, and ground.

They use the multimeter to Make sure the right voltage is coming out of Nacs

Good, that is better than connecting alarms. A panel could be putting out less current/voltage, and having an alarm or two connected may not show a difference.

yep exactly with just an alarm you dont know if its putting out the proper voltage
