Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
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
Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in
site-specific soft- ware. Reacceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system
components, or after any modification, repair or
adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software
functions known to be affected by a change must be
100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations
are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating
devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to
a maximum of 50 de- vices, must also be tested and
proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at
0-49
°
C/32-120
°
F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH
(non- condensing) at 30
°
C/86
°
F. However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic
components may be adversely affected by extreme
temperature ranges and humidity. 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. Most devices cannot tolerate
more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device
voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to
lightning-induced transients. Although no system 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.
Though designed to last many years , system
components can fail at any time. This system contains
static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself
with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so
that static charges are re- moved 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.
FCC Warning
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction 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 operated 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 his 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.
