Surface Mounting Instructions
The RFP is normally surface mounted however, flush surround for different cabinet
sizes are available on request. To mount the RFP:
•
Locate the position where the panel is to be sited.
•
Mark the position of the two mounting holes (160mm apart) and the cable
cut-outs, 5 knockouts available between the two mounting holes.
Note: Power and ELV cables are to be kept segregated.
•
Select the appropriate mounting hardware and prepare the two mounting
holes.

RFP V2 Cable Terminations
4.2.1
AC Power
The 230V
AC
input is terminated on the mains isolate switch and earth stud provided
on the rear inside of the enclosure.
Note: It is recommended to use dedicated 230VAC from separate RC circuit.
4.2.2
Field Wiring
All field cabling is to be terminated on the Terminals provided on the termination
board SUB357B as shown in Figure 12 page 37. The RFP is compatible with either
the obsoleted Smoke / Heat Alarms and/or the current EIB650iWX and/or
EIB603CX. These Alarms use 4 core cabling for the Smoke or Heat Alarms on each
zone. The 4th wire is required for Fire Mode (FM) if the Smoke Alarm is set to
independent operation i.e. the Smoke Alarm requires to activate only the RFP but
no other Alarms on the same zone, it should be connected to FM.
In order to ensure that voltage drop is kept to a minimum and ensure that
Smoke/Heat Alarms operate up to 100m runs, use low resistance cables of
≤
19.5
Ω/km maximum DC resistance at 20
°
C with each core at 1.0 mm². BROOKS
strongly recommend using the following cable as a minimum:
•
BAC4C1/100
Metre 4 core 1mm² Red Cable
•
BAC4C1/250
250 Metre 4 core 1mm² Red Cable
Cables should be terminated as required. Ensure all cables are neat and secured
using approved plastic ties.
