3.5 Important Installation Notes

Ensure wiring is done to the national wiring regulations of the country where the installation is taking place. In
the UK, this is ‘BS 7671. Requirements for electrical installations; IET Wiring Regulations (17th edition)’. If in
doubt, consult a qualified local electrician.

Ensure that a readily accessible disconnect device is incorporated into the premises installation wiring and is
provided externally to the equipment, with a contact separation of at least 3,0mm and connected as closely as
possible to the supply.

Ensure that the Input and Output Board (I/O Board) used to connect wired keypads, readers, inputs and outputs
to the Home Panel, is only connected to circuits operating at SELV voltage.

When securing external wires, ensure that means are provided in the installation to prevent the SELV or signal
circuits from coming into contact with live parts of the power supply circuit. Wires should be fixed near their
terminal blocks.

The end of the stranded conductor MUST NOT be consolidated by soft soldering at places where the conductor
is subjected to contact pressure.

On the completion of wiring, use tie-wraps to prevent any loose wires causing a safety hazard (material of the
cable ties
MUST be rated at least HB or better).

Cable ties and hoses MUST be separate for the power supply cable and SELV wirings.

The size of the protective bonding conductors: minimum section 1.5mm².
