Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual
Control Panel
Mounting the Control Panel
First identify the proposed location for the control panel. Ensure that the control panel will be easily
accessible, and that account is taken of any subsequent work that may affect access. It should be located
at the most likely point of access for the fire services.
The control panel should be mounted on a flat, vertical wall at a height where the indicators may be seen
without difficulty.
Like all electronic equipment, the control panel may be affected by extreme environmental conditions. The
position selected for its installation should therefore be clean and dry, not subjected to high levels of
vibration or shock and at least 2 metres away from any pager or radio transmitting equipment. Ambient
temperatures should be within the range given within the Technical Data section, i.e. not directly over a
radiator or heater or in direct sunlight.
In common with all microprocessor-controlled panels, the control panel may operate erratically or may be
damaged if subjected to lightning induced transients. Proper earth/ground connections will greatly reduce
susceptibility to this problem.
