Mounting the RSI
First
identify the proposed location for the RSI. Ensure that it will be easily accessible and that account
is taken of any subsequent work that may affect access.
The RSI should be located at an access point to a building which is not covered by the SRP Control
Panel. RSIs can also be located in other buildings which are connected to the SRP Control Panel. It
should be mounted on a flat, vertical wall at a height where the indicators may be seen without difficulty.
Do not locate the RSI at high level where stepladders or other access equipment may be
required, in spaces with restricted access, or in a position that may require access panels to be
removed.
Do not locate the RSI where extremes of temperature or humidity may occur i.e. close to a heat
source, or where there is any possibility of condensation or water ingress.
Like all electronic equipment, the RSI may be affected by extreme environmental conditions. The
position selected for its installation should therefore be clean and dry, not subjected to high levels of
vibration or shock and at least 2 metres away from any pager or radio transmitting equipment. Ambient
temperatures should be within the range given within the
“Technical Data” section, e.g. not directly over
a radiator or heater.
In common with all microprocessor-controlled panels, the RSI may operate erratically or may be
damaged if subjected to lightning-induced transients. Proper earth/ground connections will greatly
reduce susceptibility to this problem.
