1. SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
Read this section completely before commencing installation.
1.1 Installation Information
THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
This C.I.E.must be wired to a fused spur rated at 3A. It must
NOT
be connected via a removable plug, or be
connected through an RCD device.
Prior to commencing installation of the control panel, ensure that adequate precautions are taken to prevent
damage to the sensitive electronic components on the display board and the control board due to electrostatic
discharge. You should discharge any static electricity you may have accumulated by touching a convenient
earthed object such as an unpainted copper radiator pipe. You should repeat the process at regular intervals
during the installation process, especially if you are required to walk over carpets.
The panel must be located in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to excessive shock or vibration
and at least 2 meters away from pager systems or any other radio transmitting equipment. The operating
temperature range is 0ºC to 40ºC; maximum humidity is 95%.
HANDLING THE PCB
If the PCB is to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to avoid damage
by static.
The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (eg building plumbing) will help to
discharge any static. Always hold the PCB by its sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the
PCB away from damp dirty areas, e.g. in a small cardboard box.
1.2 Safety Precautions during Normal Operation of Panel
NOTE: When the ID2 panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the front
cover should be screwed closed with the hex screws provided.
1.3 Battery Information
This C.I.E. uses 2 x 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries up to 7 Ah.
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO BATTERY MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER:
Batteries are electrically live at all times.
NEVER short circuit the battery terminals
.
WARNING:
Batteries are often heavy; take great care when lifting and transporting batteries. For weights above
24 kilos, lifting aids should be used.
DANGER:
Do NOT attempt to remove the battery lid or tamper with the internal workings of the battery.
Electrolyte is a highly corrosive substance, and presents significant danger to yourself and to anything else it
touches. In case of accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected area with plenty of clean, fresh water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are “low maintenance”, requiring no electrolyte top-up or
measurement of specific gravity.
1.4 Product Disposal at the end of its working life
Like all electronic equipment, at the end of its working life this unit should not be disposed of in
a refuse bin. It should be taken to a local reprocessing site as per the guidelines of the WEEE
directive, for correct disposal.
