Installation
WARNING:
SHUT OFF ALL POWER BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION. ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION:
This panel’s printed circuit boards are sensitive to static electricity and have delicate components mounted on
them. Before handling either a board or any component on a board, discharge any static electricity from your
body by touching a grounded object such as a metal screw which is connected to earth ground. Handle the
board by its edges, and be careful not to twist or flex it. This panel is to be installed in a static free area and the
user is to properly attach grounded wrist straps before touching any static sensitive areas. After handling this
panel’s printed circuit boards, the panel should be tested in accordance with the “System Checkout” guidelines
in the “Installation” section of this manual to verify that the printed circuit boards are undamaged and functioning
properly.
CAUTION:
The Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) should be consulted by the installer prior to installation.

specified cable is installed and that there is continuity between required points (no open circuits), with no unwanted
connections (shorts) to other conductors, chassis, or earth ground.
9. Connect the wiring to the appropriate terminals of the panel’s modules following the directions in the "Field Wiring"
section and the system wiring drawing created in Step 1.
10. Install the appropriate amplifier modules into slots 1 thru 4 of the mother board.
11. Configure the dip switches on the controller module and install into slot 5 of the mother board.
12. Apply power and perform the operational tests described in the "System Checkout" section.
The lives of people depend upon your safe installation of this panel. Please read, understand and carefully follow the specific
