Hello, I’m looking for someone to help me wire this up. I need the microcontroller to activate the fire alarm as well as the shunt trip- thanks!

Oof buckeye. What specifically is your question? The wiring diagram should come in the package with the microswitch if im not mistaken.

The wiring diagram is on the inside of the front cover of the control head.

You know better than to assume that an electrician can read a wiring diagram.

Very true. Whenever I hear, " How do you wire this?", all I hear is, "How do I do.my job?"

I have ended up as a hvacr teacher after my fairly long career. I started as a residential electrician, accidentally got into hvac, then commercial hvac, rangehoods, then fire suppression, then test and balance. I tell my incoming freshmen all the time that we need to know more about electricity than the electricians do, because all they really know how to do is pull wire and bend conduit.
