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. Control unit and associ-
ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-
ing 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 Chapter 7 after
any programming operation or change in site-specific soft-
ware. Reacceptance testing is required after any change,
addition or deletion of system components, or after any modifi-
cation, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software func-
tions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.
In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvert-
ently 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 ver-
ified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49°
C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-con-
densing) at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of the sys-
tem's standby batteries and the electronic components may be
adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humid-
ity. 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 indi-
cating 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 light-
ning-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 sus-
ceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Techni-
cal 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 possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifi-
cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-
former, and printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced ter-
minal 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 pro-
gramming 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.
Precau-L-11-2001.fm
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
computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against such interference when 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 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 radi-
oelectriques 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.
