4.1 General Information
– 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 Section 4.3.2 Installation Dimensions for Wall
Mounting Housing, page 55 to Section 4.3.5 Installation Kits for 482.6 mm (19”) Racks,
page 66.
Functional Modules
– Functional modules are encapsulated; the connection terminals are protected against
static discharge.
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.
