alarm setup

When setting up a new alarm system for the engines and or bilge and tying everything into one bell or horn, don't forget to run each circuit thru a 3 amp barrel diode.

Otherwise each circuit will feed back thru each other.

Example:
Turn one engine ignition on and both engines lite up.

The diodes keep each circuit isolated.

Got an email from one here who was confused on some postings a while back.

I'd draw a picture but I havn't got over the last picture wipping I got.
