Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected 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 interconnecting
cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read
and understood.
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. Reacceptance 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
0-49
° C/32-120° 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 15-27
° C/60-80° 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.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating,
and programming manuals. These instructions must be
followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment FACP operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation.
Survivability
Per the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, all circuits
necessary for the operation of the notification appliances
shall be protected until they enter the evacuation
signaling zone that they serve. Any of the following
methods shall be considered acceptable as meeting
these requirements:
1) A 2-hour rated cable or cable system
2) A 2-hour rated enclosure
3) Performance alternatives approved by Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
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
susceptibility. 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, reaming, 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 suppressive packaging to
protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.

FCC Warning
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A
computing devices pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when devices are
operating 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 Department of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n
’emet pas de bruits
radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux
appareils numeriques de la Classe A prescrites dan le
Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le
ministere des Communications du Canada.
