Installation
The control panel must be installed by suitably qualified engineers familiar with the
installation of fire detection systems. In addition, it is recommended to refer to the
following information:
•
Current edition of the IEE wiring regulations.
•
Current edition of BS5839-1 or the installation standards for the relevant country.
•
Any specific site requirements.
•
Any field device installation instructions.
•
Any data sheet provided for the installation of Intrinsically Safe devices.
Notes:
The rating plate, containing essential electrical information is located inside the
panel on the inside face of the door.
The mains supply cable should be a minimum of 1mm
2
copper protected by a 5A
fuse.
An appropriate lockable double pole disconnect device shall be provided as part of
the building installation. This device must have a minimum contact gap of 3mm.

Electrical Safety
WARNING: Read this section completely before commencing installation.
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 shock or vibration and at least 2 metres away from pager systems or
any other radio transmitting equipment. The operating temperature
range is 0ºC to 40ºC; maximum humidity is 95%.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER: Batteries are electrically live at all times, take great care never to 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.
