The general installation guidelines are as follows:
• Mount the unit using screws or bolts through the four mounting holes in the
base. Ensure that the unit is mounted on a flat, solid, vertical surface so that
the base will not flex or warp when the mounting screws or bolts are
tightened.
• Allow 50 mm clearance between the equipment enclosures mounted side by
side, and 25 mm between the enclosure and any side wall or ceiling.
• Challenger
Plus
panels are powered and earthed via a 16 Volt AC plug pack.
• A power outlet (GPO) must be in proximity to the panel. Only qualified
Electricians should provide a GPO.
• The Challenger panel has an onboard dialler. Telephone connections must be
in proximity to the panel. Only ACMA Cablers should provide telephone
cabling.
• If the upper and/or lower cabinet entry cable holes are used to route wiring
into the control panel, always use a proper pipe fitting system by means of an
appropriate conduit and junction box. For this purpose, use only materials of
suitable flammability class.
• Avoid loops of wire inside the control panel cabinet and route cables so that
they do not lie on top or underneath the printed circuit board. The use of cable
ties is recommended and improves neatness of the wiring within the box.
• The battery used with this unit must be made of materials of suitable
flammability class (HB or better).
• Install equipment in a clean environment and where environmental conditions
are within the range specified in the product data sheet.
Installation procedures
A Challenger panel may need to be fitted with various add-on modules and
interfaces. See each product’s installation instructions for details.
Note:
Expander modules must not be fitted to a powered Challenger panel.
Remove power before plugging an expander module onto the Challenger PCB.
To mount the Challenger enclosure:
1.
Fix the enclosure to the wall via the enclosure’s four mounting holes (for
example, Figure 4 on page 9, item 1).
Make sure the enclosure is level, and the tamper switch (item
3) location isn’t
sitting over a line of mortar if you’re installing the enclosure on a brick wall.
To mount the tamper switch:
The two-way tamper switch detects removal of the cover from the enclosure,
and removal of the enclosure from the wall.
1. Insert the tamper switch into its metal bracket.
