Installation
CAUTION
Installation of the control panel must
take place strictly in accordance with
the instructions in this guide and in
compliance with the local laws and
bylaws in force.
Prior to commencing the installation of the control
panel, take adequate precautions to prevent damage
to the sensitive electronic components on the display
board and control board due to electrostatic discharge.
Discharge any static electricity accumulated by
touching a convenient earthed object such as an
unpainted, copper radiator pipe. Repeat the process at
regular intervals during the installation process.
Installing the control panel
Work carefully through the following steps. See FC503
& FC506 Addressable Fire Control Panels Installation
Manual for further information. Install the FC500IP
module before mounting the control panel as
described in the Installing the FC500IP board section
in the FC503 & 506 Addressable Fire Control Panels
Installation Manual.
CAUTION
Place the panel in a clean, dry
position where there is no shock or
vibration present, and at least 2 m
away from pager systems or any
other radio transmitting equipment.
Separate the fire alarm cables from
all other wiring unrelated to the fire
alarm system.
1. Identify a suitable mounting location on the wall
for the control panel.
2. Remove the two screws from the cover and open
the control panel. Lift the lower part of the cover
and push upwards to fully remove the cover from
the panel assembly.
3. Disconnect the earth cables at the top left and
right of the control panel chassis.
4. Remove the chassis, including power supply and
control board, from its fixings by unscrewing the
screws on the chassis. Remove the top left and
right screws completely. Push the chassis
upwards and remove. Do not remove the power
supply or control board from the chassis. Handle
the chassis carefully to avoid damage and place it
safely to one side.
5. Level and hold the empty cabinet up to the wall.
Mark the positions for the four mounting holes on
the wall.
6. Drill the holes at the marked positions on the wall.
Check for water pipes and electrical wiring before
drilling.
7. Insert the top two screws halfway. Hang the panel
on the top two screws and tighten them securely.
8. Insert the bottom two screws and tighten them
securely.
9. Refit the chassis using the two resting features at
the bottom of the cabinet and the top two
mounting screws.
10. Reconnect the earth lead to the chassis.
11. Insert the installation cables into the cabinet using
the cable entry knockouts at the top of the
cabinet. Use the knockouts for all the cables and
secure the cables through the cable ties.
12. When the installation cabling is complete, check
the cabling to ensure that it is free from short
circuits, open circuits, earth faults, and crossed
connections.
13. Program the control panel in accordance with the
instructions in the FC503 & FC506 Addressable
Fire Control Panels User Manual and the FC503
& FC506 Addressable Fire Control Panels PC
Programming Manual.
14. Test the entire system. Ensure that you test the
control panel, detectors, fire warning, and fire
control devices.
15. Remove any debris from the cabinet before
closing the cover.
16. Attach the cover to the hooks and rotate the cover
down to close it. Secure the cover at the bottom
with two screws.
