2.0 - Installation
The electronic components within the panel are vulnerable to electrostatic discharges.
It is advisable
to wear a wrist strap designed to prevent the build-up of static charges within the body before
handing any electronic components.
Do not remove or unplug any components while the panel is
powered up.
Mounting
The panel should be mounted on a wall in a suitable position as recommended by BS5839 Part 1. If
fitted, the antenna should be away from any solid objects, especially electronic equipment and metal
structures. The wall should be even, clean and dry and not prone to vibration. Should the wall not be
level, the panel should be mounted on a wooden board. The temperature should be in the range of -
5
o
C to +35
o
C and the humidity should not exceed 95%. Mount the panel using 3 x No. 10 screws of a
suitable length, and ensure washers (supplied) are used to meet the IP30 rating. The smaller washer
(25mm diameter) is to be used for the mounting hole next to the PSU.
Cabling
A 230V AC 50Hz supply capable of providing 500mA with a
minimum diameter of 7mm and a maximum diameter of 10.5mm
should be derived from a separate fused spur. This spur should not
incorporate a switch and should be labelled ‘Fire Alarm Equipment
– Do Not Switch Off’. A cable conforming to BS5839, with a core
cable size no greater than 2.5mm
2
should be used.
Always ensure
that the mains supply is completely isolated before working on
any mains rated components.
Cables should only enter the panel housing through the knockouts provided. Do not remove more
knockouts than is needed to terminate the cables, as additional apertures in the panel will compromise
the ingress protection requirements of EN54-2/4. A nylon M20 IP66 cable gland should be used. The
cable should be connected to the terminal block as labelled from above with the Live (brown)
connected to the top terminal, the Earth (green/yellow) to the middle and the Neutral (blue) to the
bottom. Care should be taken to ensure no loose strands protrude from the terminal block and that the
wire insulation is trimmed to the correct length so that no exposed wire is left visible. Any earth cables
should not be removed.
Once the connection has been made, the panel fuse (3.15A ceramic T type) should be removed from
the panel by pulling on the fuse holder. The fused spur can then be energised. To power up the panel,
insert the fuse holder with the correct value of fuse fitted. As there is a high inrush current there is
likely to be a spark produced. This is normal.
Mains power should always be applied prior to
connecting the standby battery.
Once the mains supply has been applied, the green LED on the
bottom edge of the processor board should begin to flash once a second. The system normal screen
will be displayed.
Connections to the panel inputs should be made using fireproof 2 core cable with a core diameter of
1.0mm
2
. A nylon M20 IP66 cable gland should be used. The Fire Routing & Sounder circuits should be
connected using a fireproof 2 core cable conforming to BS5839. A suitable core diameter should be
used depending on the loading of the circuit. The Panel has been type approved to IP rating IP30.
