Control Panel
Mounting the Control Panel
Firstly 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.
Do not locate the control panel at high level where stepladders or other access equipment
may be required, in spaces with restricted access, or in a position that may require access
panels to be removed.
Do not locate the control panel where extremes of temperature or humidity may occur, or
where there is any possibility of condensation or water ingress.
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.
In common with all microprocessor-controlled panels, the control panel may operate erratically or may be
damaged if subjected to lightening induced transients. Proper earth/ground connections will greatly reduce
susceptibility to this problem.
Physical Dimensions
2 & 4 Zone Panels 8 Zone Panels
The 2 & 4 zone control panel back box is designed as a dual-purpose surface or flush unit. The
14mm flange facilitates flush mounting. To allow installation of the main front moulding, this flange
must be flush with the mounting surface and not recessed into it.
The 8 zone panel is designed for surface mounting only and will require the use of the optional
flush mount bezel if the control panel needs to be flush mounted.
