see overleaf) are provided for securing the enclosure to the wall plate. Screws for the wall-mounting
plate are not provided.
Inspection & Testing
Inspection and Testing should conform to any national, regional or local standards applicable for the specific installation.
Before connecting any field wiring to the panel the following tests must first be carried out:
- Check the continuity of all cable runs (including screens).
- Check the isolation between all cores and between cores and screen / earth. Minimum isolation of 2Mohms is required.
- Check that the screen of all signal cables is not grounded to earth elsewhere in the building and that it is installed in accordance with recommendations –
refer to relevant wiring installation sections in the Installation & Commissioning Manual.
- Check that signal cables are not run in cable trays, or similar, alongside power cables for this and other equipment.
Having successfully carried out the above tests and once any faults found have been rectified the panel is ready for connection of external cables and
wiring. The recommended cable entry points for connection to the Base PCB are shown above. Connect the screen drain wires to the nearest earth stud
in the enclosure.
External Power Connection
The Pearl fire alarm control panel receives power from a 230V, 50Hz primary supply.
Open and lock out the main circuit breaker before connecting any wiring. DO NOT connect power until
panel is ready to perform commissioning tests.
The external primary supply cable must be brought in and terminated at the Mains Termination Block
(MTB) provided. Connect the Neutral (blue) wire to termination point ‘N’ and connect the Phase or Live
(brown) wire to termination point marked ‘L’. Terminate the primary earth wire to the stud located to the
lower-right of the MTB using the ring terminal, plain and spring washers and M4 nut provided. The
cable used for the primary supply must conform with the electrical wiring specifications of the country
and local requirements. MAKE SURE the supplied MTB safety cover (A) is fitted over the wiring
termination screw heads after the mains supply wiring termination has been made.
Primary supply cable gland and cord anchorage bushing used to route the primary supply cable through
the 20mm cable aperture MUST have a minimum flame retardant rating of UL94V0. Recommended
alternatives are given in the Installation & Commissioning Manual.
Battery Installation
The enclosure requires the installation of 12Ah batteries. Two are required. The standby batteries should be located in the enclosure as shown in the diagrams
overleaf.
Allow a sufficient air gap between them (10mm recommended) to allow for heat dissipation.
Primary Supply
Remove the door before installing the enclosure on the wall bracket.
Ensure adequate clearance is provided (> 200mm) to the left of the panel to allow unrestricted
access to the internal equipment with the door open.
