For installation reasons, only 42modules can be programmed when configuring a redundant
panel. Without redundancy, 46modules per panel are possible if one housing is set up with
the panel controller and 10modules and three housings each with 12modules.
Notice!
In line with EN54-2, a redundant panel controller must be used if there are more than 512
detectors connected.
4 Installation
4.1 General Information
Danger!
Some devices contain live components.
Touching live components entails a risk of death or serious injury.
Disconnect the power supply before all installation work.
!
Warning!
Electrostatic discharge.
The standard precautions for CMOS technology must be taken when handling PC boards.
– The fire panel may only be installed and commissioned by trained specialist personnel.
– Only use installation materials recommended by BOSCH Security Systems. Otherwise,
interference resistance cannot be guaranteed.
– Connection conditions set down by the regional authorities and institutions (police, fire
service) must be observed.
Environmental Conditions
– Fire panels can only be installed in dry, clean interior rooms.
– The following environmental conditions must be noted:
– Permissible ambient temperature: - 5°C to + 50°C
– Permissible relative humidity: max. 95%, non-condensing
– To ensure optimum battery service life, the panel should only be operated at sites with
normal room temperatures.
– Do not operate devices showing condensation.
Positioning
– Operating and display elements should be positioned at eye level.
The distance between the upper edge of the housing and the center of the panel
controller display is around 11cm. For example, if the eye level required is 164cm, the
housing upper edge installation dimension is 175cm.
– For frame installation housings, a clearance of at least 230mm is required to the right of
the last housing to swivel out the installed housing (e.g. for connection, maintenance or
service).
– Sufficient space should be left below and next to the panel for any possible extensions,
e.g. for an additional power supply or an extension housing.
– The installation dimensions can be found in Installation Dimensions for Wall Mounting
Housing, page 47 to Installation Kits for 48cm (19”) Racks, page 59.
