1- SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Read this section completely before commencing installation
.
1.1 INSTALLATION INFORMATION
THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED.
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
This C.I.E (control & indicating equipment) must be wired to a fused spur rated at 3A. It must NOT be connected via a removable
plug, or be connected through an RCD device.
Prior to commencing installation of the control panel, ensure that adequate precautions are taken to prevent damage to the
sensitive electronic components on the display board and the control board due to electrostatic discharge. You should discharge
any static electricity you may have accumulated by touching a convenient earthed object such as an unpainted copper radiator
pipe. You should repeat the process at regular intervals during the installation process, especially if you are required to walk over
carpets.
The panel must be located in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to excessive shock or vibration and at least 2 metres away
from pager systems or any other radio transmitting equipment. The operating temperature range is 0ºC to 40ºC; maximum
humidity is 95%.
HANDLING THE PCBS - If the PCBs are to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to avoid damage
by static.
The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (e.g. building plumbing) will help to discharge any static.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the PCBs wrapped in anti-static protective
bubble wrap and away from damp dirty areas, e.g. in a small cardboard box.
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF PANEL
NOTE: When the Quatro panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the access door must be closed
and locked. After locking, the key MUST be removed and ONLY held by the responsible person and / or the service personnel. It
must under NO CIRCUMSTANCES be held by the user.
1.3 BATTERY INFORMATION
This C.I.E (control & indicating equipment) uses 2 x 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries with capacities between 7Ah and 17Ah.
CAUTION:
THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
BATTERY MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER:
Batteries are electrically live at all times.
NEVER short circuit the battery terminals.
WARNING:
Batteries are often heavy. Each 17Ah battery weighs 6.1kg. Take great care when lifting and transporting batteries.
DANGER:
Do NOT attempt to remove the battery lid or tamper with the internal workings of the battery. Electrolyte is a highly
corrosive substance, and presents significant danger to you and to anything else it touches. In case of accidental skin or eye
contact, flush the affected area with plenty of clean, fresh water and seek immediate medical attention. Valve Regulated Lead Acid
(VRLA) batteries are “low maintenance”, requiring no electrolyte top-up or measurement of specific gravity.
1.4 PRODUCT DISPOSAL AT THE END OF ITS WORKING LIFE
Like all electronic equipment, at the end of its working life this unit should not be disposed of in a refuse bin. It should be taken to a
local reprocessing site as per the guidelines of the WEEE directive, for correct disposal.
