5.1 MOUNTING THE FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL
The Smart Connect comes with many cable entry holes. If another entry hole is required, it is strongly recommended that the panel
door is removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the back plate which holds the loop cards and power supply should be removed
and stored in a safe place. This would also help while fixing the back box to the wall.
5.2 LOCATING THE FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL
The control panel should be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:-
The panel should be close to the main entrance of the building, so that it can be viewed by any fire-fighting personnel entering the
building.
It should be fitted to a sturdy wall that will not flex unnecessarily.
It should ideally be mounted at eye level, in order for it to be viewed without need of a ladder.
It should be installed in a dry, weatherproof place, preferably NOT in direct sunlight.
It should be easily accessible, so that the responsible person can perform their regular fire alarm checks.
5.3 FIXING THE BACK BOX TO THE WALL
Figure 1
Figure 1: Plan view inside the enclosure without PCBs. Side view for surface installation. (Dimensions: mm)
Fix the enclosure to the wall using the three mounting holes provided (2 circular holes near the bottom of the rear face and one
'keyhole' near the top of the rear face).
Check the build and 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.
