Notes to Installer
The manual contains fixing and wiring information to cover the installation
of the Senator II system, both Standalone and Network.
Installation
requirements
It is recommended that the installer follows the general requirements of
BS5839:Part 1:1988, which is the code of practice relating to the fire
detection and alarm systems for buildings. The relevant parts of the Institute
of Electrical Engineers Wiring Regulations 16th edition must also be
followed.
Second fix
installation
To prevent the possibility of damage or dirt degrading the performance or
appearance of the Senator II products, the installation of second fix items
should be delayed until all major building work in the area is complete (e.g.
clearing and sweeping).
Fixture and
fittings
It is the installers responsibility to provide adequate fixtures and fittings for
the type of construction surface onto which a product is to be installed,
whilst utilising the fixing points on the respective product. As an aid to this
decision, the weight and overall size of each full assembly together with
implications on cable entries and routing should be taken into consideration.
NOTE: All these procedures assume that the cable, glands, steel boxes
(BESA boxes) and other related accessories are provided by the installer.
Location
The installer should acquire site specific information from the interested
parties, for details on the location of products for installation. The acquired
information together with this guide and the relevant standards should be
used to assist the work.
Each product assembly can be identified from its package label. The
contents of all packages should be checked for any discrepancies.
Fire sensor
covers
Each fire sensor may be supplied with a plastic dust cover. If supplied then
the dust cover must be fitted to prevent dust and dirt from the building
work from contaminating the sensor.
