WARNING
-
Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel.
Disconnect
all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and
associated equipment may be damaged by removing
and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting
cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is
read and understood.
CAUTION -
System Reacceptance Test after Software
Changes.
To ensure proper system operation, this
product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72
after any programming operation or change in site-
specific software. Reacceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system com-
ponents, or after any modification, repair or adjustment
to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or soft-
ware functions known to be affected by a change must
be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other op-
erations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of
initiating devices that are not directly affected by the
change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be
tested and proper system operation verified.
This system
meets NFPA requirements for indoor dry
operation at 0-49°C/32-120°F
and at relative humidity
of 93 ±2% RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2°C/90 ±3°F.
However, the useful life of the system's standby bat-
teries and the electronic components may be adverse-
ly affected by extreme temperature ranges and humid-
ity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system
and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a
nominal room temperature of 15-27°C/60-80°F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate
for all initiating
and indicating device loops. Refer to manual Specifi-
cations section for maximum allowable I.R. drop from
the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices,
this system
may operate erratically or can be damaged when sub-
jected to lightning-induced transients. Although no sys-
tem is completely immune from lightning transients and
interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility.
Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended,
due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning
strikes.
Consult with the Technical Services Department
if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries
prior to removing
or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage
circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies
prior to any drilling,
filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When
possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear.
Before making modifications, verify that they will not
interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit
board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals
more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in
reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with
screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before
handling any circuits so that static charges are removed
from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to
protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions
in the installation, operating,
and programming manuals. These instructions must
be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.
WARNING:
This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tion manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. It has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for class A computing
device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when operat-
ed in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own
expense.
Canadian Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the
Class A limits for radiation noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de
bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numeriques de la
classe A prescrites dans le Reglement sur le
brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le
ministere des Communications du Canada.
FCC Warning
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
