INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
AND
ACCESSORIES
The information in this Appendix should be carefully read before installing
these items. This information helps insure a properly installed system.
BATTERIES: When optional wet cell batteries are used, follow instructions
packed with the batteries. A battery charger must be used when wet cell
batteries are used for emergency power. If dry cell batteries are used,
ensure that the battery cases do not come in direct contact with the
enclosure surface. The bottom of the battery enclosure or Control Panel
enclosure should be covered with rubber matting.
WIRING: All wiring shall be installed in accordance with the latest edi-
tion of the National Electric Code, the applicable National Fire Protec-
tion Association Installation standards, and local authorities having
jurisdiction.
DETECTOR CIRCUITS: Any number of automatic detectors or manual fire alarm
stations may be intalled on the detector circuits provided that the stated
wire resistance on the Installation Wiring Diagram is not exceeded. Smoke
detectors may be installed on the detector circuit only to the extent that
their total current draw does not exceed the capacity stated on the
diagram. Refer to the connection diagrams supplied with the smoke
detectors used for installation and current requirements of the detectors.
Continuity of the detector loops must be maintained when connecting
detectors. Refer to Installation Wiring Diagram for proper connection of
detector loops.
BELLS: One supervised bell circuit is provided. Total current draw of the
bells may not exceed that shown on the Installation Wiring Diagram. Wire
smaller than 1/14 AWG should not be used on bell circuits.
All bells must be Polarized to block bell circuit supervisory current. A
polarized bell has an internal diode. See Figure 6-1. This diode allows
the bell current to flow only in one direction. The usual bell wire lead
