Section 3
Installation
This section of the manual is intended to help you plan your tasks to complete the installation.
Please read this section thoroughly, especially if you are installing a VIP-Series control for the
first time.
3.1 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the control panel from water. To prevent water damage, the following
conditions should be AVOIDED when installing the units:
• Mount in indoor, dry environments only
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation)
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation)
• Protect from plumbing leaks
• Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports
• Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers, production
machinery)
When selecting a location to mount the control panel, the unit should be mounted where it will
NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or humidity
outside the range of 10%-93% at 30°C (86°F) noncondensing.
3.2 Wiring Specifications
Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with
telephone communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these
guidelines:
• Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multi-
conductor cable for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
• Do not pull wires from different groups through the same conduit. If you must run them
together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Connect the shield
to earth ground at the panel. You must route high and low voltages separately.
