Procedure Overview
This section lists the steps that are taken in
installing and commissioning a DUO-CEL
system.
Reference should be made to the DUO-CEL
Application manual for technical details and
description of panel features.
1. Install all field wiring and equipment
Refer to the Installation Guidelines in
section 5.1 below
Refer to the field device installation
manuals
2. Install the panel
Refer to the installation instructions in
section 5.1 below
Do not connect the field equipment at this
stage.
3. Connect any repeaters (if applicable)
Refer to the installation instructions in
section 5.1 below
4. Commission the panel
Refer to section 5.1.3
5. Installation
CAUTION: Do not use high voltage test
equipment, such as a MEGGER, when the panel
or other equipment is connected to the field
wiring, as this will cause damage to the panel.
Prior to commencing installation of
the control panel, ensure that
adequate precautions are taken to
prevent damage to the sensitive
electronic components on the control
board due to electrostatic discharge. You should
discharge any static electricity you may have
accumulated by touching a convenient earthed
object. You should repeat the process at regular
intervals during the installation process, especially
if you are required to walk over carpets.
The control panel must be installed by suitably
qualified technicians familiar with the installation
of fire detection systems. In addition, it is
recommended to refer to the following information:
Current edition of „IEE Wiring Regulations
(BS7671)‟.
Current edition of BS5839-1, or local
equivalent.
Any field device installation instructions.
Electrical Safety
WARNING: Read this section completely before
commencing installation.
Danger: This panel contains
power supply equipment which is
powered by 230VAC mains supply
Warning: The power supply uses hazardous
voltages. The unit is fitted with a protective cage
to protect service engineers from electrical
shock. DO NOT OPEN. The power supply has
no user serviceable parts.
To prevent overheating, the ventilation holes in
the cage must not be obscured.
Notes:
The electrical rating information for the panel is
located on the display overlay and is visible
when the front cover is removed.
The mains supply cable should be a minimum of
1mm
2
copper protected by a 5A fuse.
An appropriate lockable double pole disconnect
device shall be provided as part of the
installation. This device must have a minimum
contact gap of 3mm. The cover must be coloured
red and labelled ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT
SWITCH OFF’.
The panel must be located in a clean, dry area
not exposed to vibration, physical shock or risk
of damage which complies with the
environmental specification detailed in the
DUO-CEL Application Guide and should be at
least 2 metres away from pager systems or any
other radio transmitting equipment. The
operating temperature range is -5ºC to +40ºC;
maximum humidity is 95%, non-condensing.
DO NOT use mobile phones or other
transmitting equipment within 2 metres of the
panel.
