The cabinet is a backbox and door that can contain a small AFP-300/AFP-400
system. A small system supports up to twelve NACs and consists of the CPU
module and one option module. Modules mount to rails in the cabinet, eliminat-
ing the need for optional chassis assemblies. Mounting methods include surface-
mounting or semi-flush mounting on a wall (with an optional TR-500) between 16-
inch-on-center studs.
Cabinet Limitations
Unpacking the Cabinet
Before installing the cabinet, read the following:
Review the installation precautions listed in the AFP-300/AFP-400 Installation
Manual.
All wiring must comply with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm
systems.
Count the number of conductors needed for all devices and find the appropriate
knockouts.
Do not draw wiring into the bottom 9 inches of the cabinet, except when using
the BB-17. This prevents interference between the power supply and batteries.
Standards and Codes
In addition, installers should be familiar with the following standards:
NEC Article 300 Wiring Methods
NEC Article 760 Fire Protective Signaling Systems
Applicable Local and State Building Codes
Requirements of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction
Preparing for Installation
Unpack the cabinet as follows:
Limited power supply capacity (one AVPS-24 expander).
Backbox can hold 12 amp-hour batteries only.
Maximum of one module in addition to the CPU-400.
No voice evacuation capability.
