COOPER FIRE CTPR3000, Installation Manual

Page: 11 / 51

The panel should be installed in a clean, dry, reasonably well ventilated place, and not in
direct sunlight. Temperatures in excess of +45°C and below -10°C may cause problems, if
in doubt consult
. The panel should be located away from any potential
hazard, in a position where it is readily accessible to authorised staff, and the fire services,
ideally on the perimeter of a building near a permanent entrance. Mount the panel to the
wall using the drill template provided. Do not drill through the panel to the wall as dust will
contaminate the circuitry.

Technical Support
Screen continuity must be maintained throughout the entire network.
The screen should be earthed at the connection point provided at the Panel and not
at any other point.
Care must be taken to avoid connecting the screen to the earthed body of any
metal devices, enclosures or cable containment. The screen or drain wire of the
network cables should not be considered as safety earth and therefore should not
be connected to terminals marked with the earth symbol, except at the panel, and
should not be insulated with green and yellow sleeving.
