Assembly and installation information
The fire alarm control panel may only be installed in dry, clean, and adequately illuminated areas
with restricted access. The ambient conditions must correspond to class 3k5 in accordance with
DIN EN 60721-3-3:1995-09.
The fire alarm control panel must be mounted to an even mounting surface using suitable mounting material
( anchors) and without creating any mechanical tension. The FACP may be operated only when it
has been properly mounted to a wall or mounting surface of sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Strong electrical / electromagnetic and mechanical influences must be avoided. This applies particularly to
the installation of the FACP, components and installation cables in the direct vicinity of fluorescent lamps or
energy cables and if mounted on vibrating, unstable surfaces such as thin partition walls.
The system may not be installed in facilities and environments that have harmful effects. Parts of the fire
alarm system may be fed through these facilities if the requirements of the DIN VDE 0800 series are fulfilled.
For cabinet or wall installation, operating modules and visual displays should be installed between 800 mm
and 1800 mm above the place where the operator stands.
The fire alarm system is not suitable for connection to an IT power supply system.
In standard mode, the FACP is a technical information device (ITE) of class B according to DIN EN 55022: 2007.
It is highly recommended for correct ESD protection that the dummy plug (factory supplement) of the
programming interface plug is inserted into the front of the operation panel.
Configuration and Commissioning
For the configuration and commissioning of the system, the programming software tools 8000 is required in each
case in the current program version.
Installer / Installation Specialist
The fire alarm control panel must be installed by a skilled electrician (according to DIN VDE 0833), who, as a
result of the appropriate training and experience, can evaluate the work to be carried out and recognise potential
dangers. In addition to the specialist qualifications, knowledge of the validity and application of the relevant
standards and their use and compliance with is required.
Operator of the Fire Alarm System / Trained Person
For the operation of the fire alarm control panel, a qualified person must be trained in the basic functioning of the
system and its technical requirements. A trained person (according to DIN VDE 0833) must be able to operate
the fire alarm control panel and to recognise faults. If a fault signal occurs or the functionality is limited,
arrangements must be made for the checking and rectification of the cause of the fault.
The functions of the fire alarm control panel depend on the country-specific version of the operating system
software used and the programming of the customer data.
