WARNING: Read this section completely before commencing installation.
1.1 INSTALLATION INFORMATION
THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED.
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
This C.I.E. 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.
It is designed for indoor use only.
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 away from damp dirty areas, e.g.
in a small cardboard box.
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF PANEL
NOTE: When the Smart Connect panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the panel enclosure must
be kept closed, secured by the supplied hex screws. The hex key to open the cover 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. uses 2 x 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries with capacities between 3Ah and 7Ah.
CAUTION:
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 yourself 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.
