Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel.
Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. The control unit and
associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or
inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the
unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate
this unit until this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software
Changes.
To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any
programming operation or change in site-specific software.
Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or
deletion of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software
functions known to be affected by a change must be 100%
tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not
inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that
are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50
devices, must also be tested and proper system operation
verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0°C to
49°C (32°F to 120°F) and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH
(non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the
useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic
components may be adversely affected by extreme
temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is
recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed
in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27°
C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and
indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more
than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to
lightning-induced transients. Although no system is
completely immune from lightning transients and
interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility.
Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to
an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult
with the Technical Services if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or
inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making
modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery,
transformer, and printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced
terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal
removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components
can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive
components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap
before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed
from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect
electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and
programming manuals. These instructions must be followed
to avoid damage to the control panel and associated
equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation by authorized personnel.
FCC Warning
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for class A com-
puting devices pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference when devices are operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his or her own expense.
Canadian Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits
for radiation noise emissions from digital apparatus set
out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radio-
electriques depassant les limites applicables aux appar-
eils numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans le
Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le
ministere des Communications du Canada.
