IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
● This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified and technically competent person;
● This equipment must have an Earth Connection;
● A basic knowledge and training in the installation of Fire Detection systems is assumed;
● The Fire Detection system should be designed by a suitably qualified person with reference to the Local Regulations and
Guidance from the fire Officer where applicable.
MOUNTING PANEL
The ORION-BCM LSC housing is designed for either surface or semi-recessed mounting. Cable entry points are provided at
the top and back of the housing. Do not drill additional holes as cables could then interfere with the PCB or standby battery
position. Maintain separation between the incoming AC mains cable and the low voltage detector and sounder cabling.
The panel should be fixed to the wall using the 4 mounting holes provided and No 8-10 countersunk screws. Any dust
created during the fixing process must be kept out of the control panel and care must be taken not to damage any wiring or
components.
CABLE TYPES
System wiring should be installed in accordance with National Standards and wiring regulations.
To protect against electrical interference we recommend the use of screened cables throughout the system. Separate cables
should be used for sounder circuits, the use of multi-core cables to carry sounder circuits is not recommended. The cable
screens should be terminated and connected to Earth at the panel only.
Maximum cross section of cables to use is 2.5mm² to avoid damaging the terminals in the control panel.
Mains wiring should be 3 core 1mm² to 2.5mm² fed from an isolating circuit breaker of 6A. This should be secure from
unauthorized operation and be marked “Fire Alarm Do Not Switch Off”. The mains supply must be exclusive to the fire panel.
