IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This manual is designed for use by factory trained installers
and operators of the Gamewell/FCI FocalPoint System. All
illustrations, functional descriptions, operating and
installation procedures, and other relevant information are
contained in this manual.
The contents of this manual are important, and the manual
must be kept with the system at all times. If building
ownership is changed, this manual, including any testing
and maintenance information, must be passed along to the
new owner(s).
Manuals and instructions for other devices forming part of
the FocalPoint System should be kept together.
Purchasers who install this system for use by others must
leave the instructions with the user. A copy of these
instructions is included with each product and is available
from the manufacturer.
This equipment is Listed by various listing agencies for use
in emergency evacuation and fire alarm systems. Use only
components that are compatible with this FocalPoint
System. The installation MUST be in accordance with the
instructions in this manual.
Therefore:
•
DO NOT deviate from the procedures described in this
manual.
•
DO NOT assume any details not shown in this manual.
•
DO NOT modify any electrical or mechanical features.
•
DO comply with all codes and standards set forth by
the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
The term “Authority Having Jurisdiction” has become a
standard term in the fire alarm industry. An acceptable
definition of “Authority Having Jurisdiction” is:
Fire alarm systems installed in the USA fall under the
jurisdiction of some authority. In some areas, this may be a
local fire department; in other areas, it may be a building
inspector, insurance firm, etc. Different authorities may
have their own local requirements for the way the fire alarm
system is installed and used. Most local authorities based
their requirements on the NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) codes, but there may be important
differences. You must install this system in the way in
which the Authority Having Jurisdiction requires. If you do
not know which authority has jurisdiction in your area,
contact your local fire department or building inspector for
guidance.
It is important that you tell users to be aware of any
requirements defined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
The installation MUST be in accordance with the following
standards:
•
National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72)
•
National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)
•
Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)
WARNING: Touching components, which are
improperly installed, applied or operated, could be
hazardous and possibly fatal. Short circuits could
cause arcing that could result in molten metal injuries.
Therefore, only qualified technicians familiar with
electrical hazards should perform checkout
procedures. Safety glasses should be worn, and test
equipment used for voltage measurements should be
designed for this purpose and be in good working
order.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is important that this equipment be operated within its
specifications: Recommended operating temperature
range: 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F) and at a relative
humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C
(90°F ± 3°F).
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Check that you have all the equipment you need to
complete the installation. Follow the field wiring diagrams
and installation notes in this manual.
Install the equipment in a clean, dry environment (minimal
dust). Avoid installing the equipment where vibrations will
occur.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the side, being careful to separate the
power-limited conductors from the non power-limited
conductors. Before making modifications, verify that they
will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit
board location.
Do not over tighten screw terminals. Over tightening may
damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact
pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing, removing,
or inserting any circuit board. Control unit and associated
equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting
cards, subassemblies, or interconnecting cables while the
unit is energized.
