4. FIRST FIX
4.1 Mounting the Control Panel
The control panel should be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:-
•
The panel should be close to the main entrance of the building, so that it can be viewed
by any fire-fighting personnel entering the building.
•
It should be fitted to a sturdy wall that will not flex unnecessarily.
•
It should be mounted at eye level, in order for it to be viewed without need of a ladder.
•
It should be installed in a dry, weatherproof place, preferably NOT in direct sunlight.
•
It should be easily accessible, so that the responsible person can perform their regular
fire alarm checks.
4.2 RECOMMENDED CABLE TYPES AND THEIR LIMITATIONS
All wiring must be installed to meet BS5839: Pt1: 2002 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regs) standards.
Other National standards of fire alarm system installation should be adhered to where
applicable.
Screened cables should be used throughout the installation to help shield the Panel from outside
interference and ensure EMC compatibility.
The two categories of cable according to BS5839: Pt1: 2002, Clause 26 “Fire Detection and Alarm
Systems for Buildings (Code of Practice for System Design, Installation and Servicing)” are:
Standard fire resisting cable – to PH30 classification of EN 50200
Enhanced fire resisting cable – to PH120 classification of EN 50200
(Note that all cables should be at least 1mm
2
cross section
On the Premier AD Panel the general recommendation would be to use standard fire resistant cable,
such as GLT Exports Fire Defence Cable, Firetuff
™
, FP200 or an equivalent. These cables are
screened, and will provide good EMC shielding when properly grounded at the panel. Certain system
specifications may demand the use of a particular type of cable and due regard should be paid to this
fact.
Depending on the environment, the cables may need mechanical protection (such as a conduit).
4.3 MAINS WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
The Mains supply to the FACP is fixed wiring, using
Fire resisting
3-core cable (Between 1 mm² and
2.5mm²) or a suitable 3-conductor system, fed from an isolating double pole switch fused spur, fused
at 3A.
IT SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED THROUGH AN RCD.
This should be secure from
unauthorised operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’. The supply must be
exclusive to the Fire Panel.
MAKE SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES ARE COVERED WITH THE
GROMMETS PROVIDED
For information on how to connect Mains to the Panel’s Power Supply PCB, see page 8.
Also refer to rating information on the mains cover inside the FACP.
