Installation
CAUTION:
Installation of the control panel
must take place strictly in
accordance with the instructions in
this guide and in compliance with
the local laws and bylaws in force.
Prior to commencing the installation of the control
panel, take adequate precautions to prevent
damage to the sensitive electronic components
on the display board and control board due to
electrostatic discharge. Discharge any static
electricity accumulated by touching a convenient
earthed object such as an unpainted, copper
radiator pipe. Repeat the process at regular
intervals during the installation process.
Installing the control panel
About this task:
Work carefully through the following steps. See
Figure 1 and Figure 3 for further information. Install
the FC500IP module before mounting the control

CAUTION:
•
Place the panel in a clean,
dry position where there
is no shock or vibration
present, and at least two
meters away from pager
systems or any other radio
transmitting equipment.
•
Separate fire alarm cables
from all other wiring
unrelated to the fire alarm
system.

4. Remove the chassis, including power
supply and control board, from its fixings
by unscrewing the screws on the chassis.
Remove the top left and right screws
completely. Push the chassis upwards and
remove. See Figure 2, item 11. Do not remove
the power supply or control board from the
chassis. Handle the chassis carefully to avoid
damage and place it safely to one side.
5. Level and hold the empty cabinet up to the
wall. Mark the positions for the four mounting
holes on the wall.
6. Drill the holes at the marked positions on
the wall. Check for water pipes and electrical
wiring before drilling.
7. Insert the top two screws halfway. Hang the
panel on the top two screws and tighten them
securely.
8. Insert the bottom two screws and tighten
them securely.
9. Refit the chassis using the two resting
features at the bottom of the cabinet and the
top two mounting screws.
10. Reconnect the earth lead to the main board.
11. Insert the installation cables into the cabinet
using the cable entry knockouts at the top
of the cabinet. Use the knockouts for all the
cables and secure the cables through the
cable ties. See Figure 1, item 5.
12. When all installation cabling is complete,
check the cabling to ensure that it is free from
short circuits, open circuits, earth faults, and
crossed connections.
13. Program the control panel in accordance
with the instructions in the
FC503 and FC506
Addressable Fire Control Panels User Manual
and the
FC503 and FC506 Addressable Fire
Control Panels PC Programming Manual
.
