AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual
AES Corporation 14 40-7788, Rev 6, August 30, 2016
3 Installation
This section contains information on the installation and wiring of the AES IntelliNet
7788F RF Subscriber Unit.
For Fire applications this product must be connected to a Fire panel that provides
system status changes on a system wide basis for Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory at
a minimum.
3.1 Overview
The AES 7788F combines the electronics of an AES Subscriber unit, battery, a radio
transceiver and any approved modules such as the 7794, 7770, 7762 or 7067 into its
enclosure. It is typically used to communicate alarm and status conditions of an
alarm panel to a centrally located alarm monitoring facility via radio transmissions. A
properly powered and configured AES 7788F will communicate with an AES Central
Receiver via a locally provided AES IntelliNet Network.
3.2 Physical Installation
Installation Guidelines – Refer to Diagrams throughout this document for typical
component installation locations.
To comply with UL 365 Section 44, all wiring except the AC must use shielded
wires. At least one end of the shield must be grounded.
Choose an indoor climate controlled, secure, and dry location for the subscriber
unit’s installation.
Avoid extremes of heat, cold, humidity, dust. Refer to range listed in
specification section of this document.
Mount enclosure to a suitable, strong surface using appropriate fasteners for the
weight of the unit and the surface on which it is being installed.
Pre-cut “knockout” type holes are provided on the back and sides of the case for
wiring access. Knockouts are sized for standard ½ inch conduit connectors.
For burglar applications, the unit should be located away from the alarm panel –
hidden if possible – and within the protected area. This will aid in the successful
communication of the intrusion even if the alarm panel is compromised.
The supplied case top tamper resistant Flexible 2.5db antenna is mounted on the
Subscriber’s enclosure as shown in diagram 2 in this document.
A separately purchased remote alternate antenna may be used with the 7788F Fire
Subscriber Unit in UL installations. Contact AES for a selection of antennas
suitable for use with your Subscriber Unit. Refer to Section 1.9 “UHF Antenna
Options” for information on antennas available from AES.
The antenna must be installed in accordance with National Electric Code and
local electric code.
A protective surge suppressor must be installed in line with any type of remotely
installed antenna.
