2
Select a location for the control panel in a clean, dry, vibration-free
area with moderate temperature.
Before installing the fire alarm system, read the following:
Install the system in a readily accessible area with sufficient room to easily
install and maintain the control panel.
Locate the top of the cabinet approximately 5 feet above the floor with
the hinge mounting on the left.
Count the number of conductors needed for all devices and find the
appropriate knockouts.
Review the installation precautions at the front of this manual.
All wiring must comply with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm
systems.
Do not draw wiring into the bottom 9 inches of the cabinet, except when
using the BB-17 or BB-55. This prevents interference between the power
supply and batteries.
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
