SELECT THE ENCLOSURE MOUNTING OPTION
The Cheetah Xi 50 system enclosure is designed to be surface or flush mounted. For surface mounting, you
will utilize the mounting holes provided in the back of the enclosure to secure it to the wall. For flush
mounting, you will need to cut an opening in the wall to fit the back-box dimensions (See Exhibit 4-1) and
secure the enclosure in place by utilizing the through holes located on the sides of the box. The enclosure
back-box is designed to fit between wall framing members for flush mounting.
Note:
The Cheetah Xi 50 enclosure is NOT fire rated; do not install on or in fire rated walls unless steps
are taken to maintain the fire rating of the wall.
4.4
MOUNT THE ENCLOSURE
The following general steps shall be used to install the system enclosure:
1. The outer door can be removed to make installation of the back-box easier. To remove the outer
door, unscrew the hinge screws located at the top and bottom of the enclosure.
2. Determine the quantity and size of conduit to be attached to the enclosure and punch out the
appropriate conduit knockouts. All field wiring is to be routed into the enclosure via knock-out
openings. Conduit knock-outs are provided for two distinct conduit sizes. Removing just the inside
hole creates a one-half inch (1/2”) opening. Removing the entire opening provides a three-quarter
inch (3/4”) opening.
Note:
Unless otherwise detailed in this manual or in other documents relating to this control
panel, the technician shall utilize published standards and references such as NFPA 70 National
Electrical Code, NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code, and others, which may be relevant to the
Local Authority Having Jurisdiction for selecting the appropriate conductor size and quantity.
Note:
If batteries are to be installed in the enclosure, do not use the conduit knock-outs in the
bottom of the enclosure.
3. For surface mounting, mark and pre-drill holes in mounting surface and secure the back-box to the
wall using appropriate mounting hardware.
4. For flush mounting, mark and cut an opening in the wall to fit the back-box dimensions (See Exhibit 4-
1). Wall must be framed to accommodate the back box dimensions. Secure the enclosure in place
with appropriate mounting hardware utilizing the through holes located on the sides of the box.
5. Reinstall the outer door using existing mounting hardware.
6. Connect the grounding wire from the outer door to the enclosure back-box. Check for continuity
between door and back-box.
Note:
Refer to Fike document 06-624, “50 Point Enclosure Installation Instructions” for further details.
