3.2 Panel positioning
For optimum operation and maintenance of the fire panel, several factors must be kept in
mind when deciding on the installation position.
The location must be protected by the fire detection system. Temperature should be
controlled between 5 and 40º C and the relative humidity must not exceed 95% (without
any condensation).
The location must be sheltered to avoid possible jolts or vibrations and away from cable
runs that could cause interference in the communications.
3.3 Fixing the fire panel to the wall
General recommendations
Place the fire panel at an approximate height of 1.5 m in a place with easy access and
where the light indicators are easily distinguishable.
Ensure that, once the fire panel is attached to the wall, the front casing could be removed
without any obstacle.
Bear in mind that the weight of the fire panel together with the batteries is quite high so
select the correct size of plugs and screws to hold it.
Installation steps
1. Place the metal box on the wall, orientate it correctly with the help of the level and
mark with a pencil the position of the 3 or 4 screws.
2. Remove the box from the wall and drill the holes and place the plugs.
3. Place the fire panel on the wall and attach it with the right screws.
Do not use the fire panel metal box as a guide for the drill.
Before fixing the frame to the wall, make the cables holes you require. Do not drill holes
in the fire panel box in places other than those indicated, and avoid shavings or pieces of
removed casing dropping inside the panel. This could damage the electronic circuits. If
you require, you may use PG11-type cable adapter.
3.4 Selecting a language
The FP1500 allows the user to choose the desired language. Take the sheet of language
inserts that is supplied with the panel, select the desired language and cut out the
corresponding inserts with a pair of scissors.
Insert each of the cards into the corresponding position on the front panel according to
the supplied number.
The sheet contains blank cards for configuring languages that have not been included.
The user may customize these cards with the desired language.
