3. MOUNTING THE FIRE ALARM PANEL 

It is recommended that the panel’s door be removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the termination PCB could be removed 
and stored in a safe place, while fixing the back box to the wall. 

3.1 PLANNING CABLE ENTRY 

Fig.2 below shows the location of the cable entries to facilitate planning of wiring (home runs) to be brought to the panel.  

The grommets can be easily removed by a push from inside the control panel box. 

If a grommet is removed, fill the hole with a brass cable gland.  If any knockout is removed, but subsequently not used, it should be 
covered up. 

The 230Va.c. Mains cable must be fed into the enclosure via one of the cable entries at the top right corner of the back box.  (Refer 
to “Connecting the Mains” on Page 8). 

3.2 FIXING THE BACK BOX TO THE WALL 

Figure 2:  Plan view inside the enclosure without PCBs. Side view for surface / flush installation. 

Fix the enclosure to the wall using the mounting holes provided. 

Check the build & condition of the wall to decide a suitable screw fixing.  

The mounting holes are designed for No 8 roundhead or countersunk woodscrews (or similar). 

Remove any debris from the enclosure.  

Take care not to damage the FACP during installation.
