IMPORTANT INFORMATION :
Power line conditions will vary from building to
building!
•
Before quoting or installing a FIRE-LINK
®
system, a quick analysis of the Building’s existing electrical
distribution configuration and equipment should be performed. This will ensure a problem-free
installation.
•
Our signals will NOT go through a building’s transformer(s).
•
The rule of thumb is: one building, one transformer, one NMC-100/PPC-600.
If there are multiple transformers and/or multiple electrical rooms in the building, contact Mircom
Technical Support for guidance before quoting ! Multiple transformers and meter banks with no direct
connection for the phase coupler(s) through a house panel will require special installation
instructions if deemed feasible by Mircom Technical Support.
•
Signal quality can be affected by noise generating equipment. Noise generated by these devices may
be above allowable FCC/DOC limits:
o
AC Variable Speed Motors, such as elevator motors, connected on the residential 220 volt
feed and stepped up to 480V or 600V, can generate a lot of noise back onto the domestic
power line feeds.
o
12VDC Halogen Cluster Lighting can also affect signal quality and reception in suites and
neighboring suites. This is the most common type of noise generating equipment that Dealers
will encounter in the field (see Section 9.0 Trouble-Shooting guide). Include a buffer for filters
when quoting.
Noisy environments can be rectified by the installation of power line noise
filters which are available through Fire-Link Distributors, both wire-in and
plug-in. Please see trouble-shooting guide in Section 9.0 of this manual.
•
The FIRE-LINK
®
system is designed for applications of 253 ISDs per network or less.
This quantity of 253 is at optimal power line conditions. With building attenuation
(load/resistance) and equipment noise, this number could decrease substantially.
For a safety net, we are recommending average installs of a maximum 100 ISDs per network.
Again, power line conditions will vary from building to building so it is not practical to set a specific
number
