3. Installation
3.1 Installation checklist
*
Prepare the site: Make sure the installation location is
free from construction dust, debris, extreme tempera-
ture ranges and humidity.
*
Unpack the equipment
*
Install the cabinet: See ‘Installing the cabinet’ below
(section 3.2 ) for cabinet dimensions.
*
Install optional components
*
Review wire routing.
*
Connect the field wiring.
Care should be taken when connecting field wiring.
Do not make any connections with main or battery
power applied. The cabinet should be connected to a
suitable earth point at all times.
*
Check for opens, grounds, and shorts before connect-
ing.
*
Connect ground then AC power.
WARNING: Ensure that the building’s AC circuit
breaker is OFF before connecting high voltage wires
(230V AC) to the main connector.
*
Connect batteries.
*
Test for proper operation.
After a system power up, the user must perform an A.L.2
Reset to remove the System fault and enter normal
operational mode. This is by design
.

Operating Voltage 230V AC / 50-60Hz.
The analytic indications and the simple controls of the
Neon
panel ensure the easy handling and controlling of the
system by the operator.
5. Keyboard Indications and Controls
Operating, monitoring and programming of the panel is
performed in three different access levels. In access level 1
only indicative operations are unlocked. Access to level 2 is
achieved by the keyswitch on the face of the panel (
Figure
2
) or the use of the A.L.2 PIN. Operations at access level 2
are performed with the keypad. Access level 3 operations
are accomplished with the micro switches on the main cir-
cuit board of the panel
(see section 8)
.
