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. Discon-
nect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit
and associated equipment may be damaged by remov-
ing 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 Soft-
ware Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this
product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72
Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in
site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system compo-
nents, 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
0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH -
93% per ULC - (non-condensing) at 30° C/86° F. How-
ever, 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 temper-
ature 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 volt-
age.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system
may operate erratically or can be damaged when sub-
jected to lightning-induced transients. Although no sys-
tem 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 Department
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 pos-
sible, 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 compo-
nents 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 asso-
ciated 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 instruc-
tion manual, may cause interference to radio com-
munications. It has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for class A computing device
pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules,
which is designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference when operated in a com-
mercial 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 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 Regu-
lations of the Canadian Department of Communi-
cations.
Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de
bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites appli-
cables aux appareils numeriques de la classe A
prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage radi-
oelectrique edicte par le ministere des Communi-
cations du Canada.
