Handling, Storage & Preparation
2.1
Handling
- The purchaser is responsible for off-loading. Panels are individually packed and one person can
usually handle a single panel. The panel must not be dropped or suffer impact in any circumstances.
2.2
Storage
- The panel should be stored in clean, dry conditions. Any packaging should not be removed until the
panel is required for installation and should only be removed if damage is suspected at delivery
2.3 Preparation -
Make proper provision for fixings. The structure to which panel is to be fixed must be fit for
purpose and capable of accepting plugs and screws or suitable anchors. Suitable cable entry and glands
should be provided and electrical wiring should have been completed as far as possible.

Installing & Wiring to Smart-Vent Network Panel
3.1
See Diagram 2 for panel dimensions and weight. The panel can be fixed to a vertical wall surface, using normal
fixings that are suitable for wall construction.
3.2
It is recommended that the panel is sited between 1.0 – 1.5m above floor level, in a location away from public
access e.g. facilities office, plant room, administration area.
3.3
Subject to fixings used, it is recommended that four holes are drilled in the back of the panel. The panel door
can be removed, but will require disconnection of the five door-mounted items.
3.5
The outside air temperature sensor is supplied loose; it should be fitted to an external wall in a suitable location
to measure outside air temperature. It should be site away from windows and other ventilation openings, on a
suitably shaded wall surface out of sunlight, typically minimum 2m above ground level.
3.4
After fitting panel and air sensor, connect panel to 230VAC mains supply (isolated and fused) and wire the
sensor back to the panel. Connect the panel to all room controllers, using a suitable RS-485 screened cable in
a daisy chain configuration, observing polarity rules.
