QBB-5001/R Amplifier Installation
The following instructions are based on the assumption that the fire alarm is already installed.
1. Install the QBB-5001/R Audio Backbox and door in the desired location.
2. Install the QMB-5000B Motherboard / Card-Cage into the backbox.
3. Install the QBC-5000N Battery Charger into the backbox. Connect its cable to J1 on the motherboard.
4. Install the QPS-5000N Power Supply into the QBB-5001/R backbox. Be careful: the QPS-5000N is
very heavy
.
5. Connect the heavy orange - yellow - orange wires from the motherboard to the power supply being careful to
match the wire colour to the labelling on the power supply.
6. Connect the un-powered 120 VAC line power and chassis ground to the power supply following the labelling.
Ground the power supply to the box.
Do not apply AC power at this time.
7. Install the two 12 VDC batteries into the backbox.
8. Connect the battery cables from the motherboard to the batteries as shown in Figure 58, but do not connect
the cable between the batteries at this time.
When plugging in these amplifiers, the components are facing left. Slide the amplifier in place and to avoid damage,
making sure that the edge connector is properly mating with the header on the motherboard. Keep the amplifier as
straight and level as possible and use even pressure on the top and bottom. The amplifier is connected properly
after it snaps into place.
9. Connect and check (for opens, shorts, and ground) all the amplifiers' field wiring.
Before Turning the Power "ON"...
The entire system installation should be completed first.
To prevent sparking,
do not
connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main
A.C. supply.
1. Check and secure all interconnection wiring cables.
2. Check and secure all interconnection wiring cables to the Fire Alarm Control Panel.
3. Check the A.C. power wiring for proper connection.
4. Check that the chassis is connected to earth ground.
