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 under-
stood. 

CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes:

 

To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in 
accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or 
change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is required 
after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after 
any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. 
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions 
known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, 
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at 
least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the 
change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and 
proper system operation verified.

This system

 meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/32-

120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 
32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's 
standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely 
affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it 
is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in 
an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º 
F. 

Verify that wire sizes are adequate

 for all initiating and indicating 

device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. 
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 susceptibil-
ity. 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, ream-

ing, 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

 more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening 

may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure 
and difficulty with screw terminal removal. 

This system contains static-sensitive components.

 Always 

ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits 
so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static sup-
pressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from 
the unit.

Units with a touchscreen display

 should be cleaned with a dry, 

clean, lint free/microfiber cloth. If additional cleaning is required, 
apply a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe 
clean. Do not use detergents, solvents, or water for cleaning. Do not 
spray liquid directly onto the display.

Follow the instructions

 in the installation, operating, and program-

ming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage 
to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and 
reliability depend upon proper installation.

FCC Warning

WARNING: 

This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-

ate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instruction manual may cause interfer-
ence to radio communications. It has been tested and found 
to comply with the limits for Class A computing devices pur-
suant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is 
designed to provide reasonable protection against such 
interference when devices are operated in a commercial 
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential 
area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user 
will be required to correct the interference at his or her own 
expense.

Canadian Requirements

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for 
radiation noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in 
the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Depart-
ment of Communications.

Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radio-
electriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils 
numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans le Reglement sur 
le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des 
Communications du Canada.
