Section 4: Control Panel Installation
4.1 Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet
Read the Environmental Specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the FCP-75 panel.
The FCP-75 cabinet base dimensions are: 12.531” W x 14.875” H.
The FCP-75 panel should be located within a secured area, where it is accessible to the main drop wiring runs and where it can be easily
tested and serviced. End-users responsible for maintaining the panel should be able to hear alarms and troubles. When you select a location,
keep in mind that the panel itself is the main source of alarm and trouble annunciation.
When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is
expected, attach a piece of ¾” plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the FCP-75 to the plywood. Also mount any other desired
components to the plywood.
DO NOT flush-mount the FCP-75 cabinet in a wall designated as a fire break.

4.1.1 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the
top of the cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering the
cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.
4.1.2 Removing the FCP-75 Assembly from the Housing
If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet for repair, do so by removing the screws that hold the
control panel in to the cabinet. Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.
4.2 AC Power Connection
At installation, connect the AC terminals to the power source as shown in Figure 4.2. It may be necessary for a professional electrician to
make this connection.
