3. If necessary, using a hammer or similar tool, remove
the surface conduit wire knockouts of the metal box.
4. Secure the metal base to the wall.
5. Secure the cable conduit union with the cabinet using
HB Flame Class or higher lock nuts. See Figure 16.
6. Pull the wires through the cable entry and connect

Maintenance
To ensure the system operates normally, you must carry
out regular testing and an installer must provide periodic
maintenance in accordance with local laws.
For the maintenance of other devices such as detectors
and modules, follow the dedicated instructions for the
devices.
Users must carry out the following operations regularly:
Use a damp cloth to remove dust from the control
panel cabinet. Do not use solvents of any kind.
Using the Lamp Test key, check that the LEDs and
buzzers function properly.
The following operations must be carried out regularly by
qualified persons only:
Ensure that the batteries are sufficiently charged
and functioning properly. If not, replace them
immediately.
Ensure that all cables and connections are intact.
Ensure that there are no unrelated objects inside the
control panel case.
Ensure that the control panel can process a fire
alarm and operate the regular sounders and outputs
subsequent to a fire alarm incident. If there is a
facility for transmitting fire alarm signals to a central
station, ensure that signal comes through correctly.
