Re: cleaner wiring solution needed

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't want to solder and tape, you can also use a Marr connector of
the correct size as well. Make sure you twist all the red wires together
tightly after stripping off about 1 inch of the insulation, so the Marr
connector simply ensures a continuing tight joint, just as you would when
wiring AC. It also pays to double up the wires in the pigtail...ie two red
wires twisted together at each end going to the Aux + and two black wires
together in the Aux -.

I have installed over 1200 alarms for my own company, as well as others,
without a hint of a problem this way.
