Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected 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 inter-
connecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and
understood.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate
for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% volt-
age 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 interference, proper grounding will reduce suscepti-
bility. 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, or printed
circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals
. Over-tightening may damage
threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and diffi-
culty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any cir-
cuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed
from the unit.
Follow the instructions
in the installation, operating, and pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid
damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP
operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
The equipment must be correctly programmed and installed to
suit the specific application.
Please ensure correct operational
parameters are set prior to commissioning. If further details on pro-
gramming options are required, please consult the programming
manual or contact our helpful technical support personnel.
