Conversion Instructions for PEGAsys
February 2012 H-4 P/N 06-237058-001
H-4 TOOLS REQUIRED
• Safety glasses (recommended)
• grinding tool with spare grinding wheels
• Screwdriver
• Vacuum, small
• Pencil
H-5 PREPARATION
1. Ensure that you use PEGAsys Configuration Software to download all configuration, event log,
and EOC data before powering down. Print the configuration settings for use when programming
the ARIES NET
Link control unit.
1. Lift the PEGAsys control unit door off its hinges and discard or store.
2. Mark and remove field wiring.
3. Remove all electronics from inside the PEGAsys control unit and discard or store, including the
CCM Motherboard.
4. Tape wires to the side of the PEGAsys enclosure to remove them from the work area.
H-6 PROCEDURE
1. Remove the empty electronics brackets which are attached to the PEGAsys control unit
enclosure. (An installer may chose his own method to remove the empty brackets, based on
individual experience and available tools.)
Note: A suggested method, which is safe and easy to perform, is to use a grinding tool such as
manufactured by Dremel (with a grinding wheel attached) to first grind off all pop rivets in the
cabinet (except for the four at the bottom as shown in Figure H-1). With the pop rivets grinded
off, carefully pry the empty brackets off the enclosure with a screwdriver and discard or store.
2. With the cabinet empty, remove the #10 nut from the Earth Ground lug located at the top left of
the enclosure.
3. Insert the base plate as shown in Figure H-1.
4. Manually hold the small bracket to the base plate at the right (shown in Figure H-1). Mark the
hole location in pencil.
5. After marking the hole location, remove dry-fitted parts and drill a 0.189 hole for #8 machine
screw/nut (surface mounted enclosure) or a 0.136 hole for self-threading screw (recess mounted
enclosure). Deburr the hole and clean all debris from the empty cabinet. Vacuum all metal
filings.
6. Insert a #8 screw/nut or self-threading screw into the hole just drilled. Tighten to secure.
7. Replace the #10 nut on the Earth Ground lug at the top left of the enclosure.
8. Fasten four (4) #6 nuts over the screws at the bottom of the enclosure (shown in Figure H-1).
WARNING
Safety goggles should be worn when performing this procedure.
WARNING
Two different sources of power can be connected to the PEGAsys control unit. Disconnect
both sources of power and critical components such as control heads for special
extinguishing systems and addressable pilot relays controlling facility-power shutoff
before beginning this procedure. The control unit and associated equipment may be
damaged by connecting wiring while the control unit is energized.
