Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected to the fire alarm control panel.
Disconnect all sources of
power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may
be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or inter-
connecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and under-
stood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes:
To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in
accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or
change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after
any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions
known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition,
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at
least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the
change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and
proper system operation verified.
This system
meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/32-
120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at
32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's
standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely
affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it
is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in
an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º
F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate
for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R.
drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices,
this system may operate
erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced
transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning
transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibil-
ity. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an
increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the
Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries
prior to removing or inserting
circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies
prior to any drilling, filing, ream-
ing, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable
entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify
that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit
board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals
more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening
may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure
and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits
so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static sup-
pressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from
the unit.
Units with a touchscreen display
should be cleaned with a dry,
clean, lint free/microfiber cloth. If additional cleaning is required,
apply a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe
clean. Do not use detergents, solvents, or water for cleaning. Do not
spray liquid directly onto the display.
Follow the instructions
in the installation, operating, and program-
ming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage
to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and
reliability depend upon proper installation.

FCC Warning
WARNING:
This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual may cause interfer-
ence to radio communications. It has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for class A computing devices pur-
suant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is
designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference when devices are operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at his or her own
expense.
Canadian Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for
radiation noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in
the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Depart-
ment of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radio-
electriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans le Reglement sur
le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le ministere des
Communications du Canada.
