Section 2
Before you Begin Installing
This section of the manual is intended to help you plan your tasks to complete the
installation. Please read this section thoroughly, especially if you are installing a SK-
FFT for the first time.
2.1 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the SK-FFT control panel from water. To prevent water
damage, the following conditions should be AVOIDED when installing the units:
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation)
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation)
• Protect from plumbing leaks
• Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports
• Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers,
production machinery)
When selecting a location to mount the SK-FFT, the unit should be mounted where it
will NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 0°C- 49°C (32°F-120°F) or
humidity outside the range of 10% - 93% at 30°C (86°F) noncondensing.
2.2 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire fighters phone system can be caused by moisture entering
the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the
cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable
precautions to prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered
under warranty.
2.2.1 Removing the SK-FFT Assembly from the Housing
If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet
for repair, do so by removing the screws that hold the control panel in to the cabinet.
Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.
