SECTION 2 Installation
2.1 CAB-3/CAB-4 Series Mounting Options
The XPIQ can be mounted in an existing CAB-3/CAB-4 Series cabinet if sufficient room is
available, or in a separate backbox. The CAB-3/CAB-4 Series cabinet may be surface or semi-
flush mounted. A compatible trim ring can be used when the cabinet is semi-flush mounted. Note
that for Canadian installations, when an XPIQ is not mounted adjacent to the FACP, it must be
placed in a CAB-3/CAB-4 Series enclosure using a door that has a window. Otherwise, it may be
placed in a CAB-3/CAB-4 Series enclosure using a blank door assembly.
Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry,
vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily
accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the panel. Locate the top of the
cabinet approximately five feet above the floor. Determine the number of conductors required for
the boards to be installed. Sufficient knockouts are provided for wiring convenience. Select the
appropriate knockout(s) and pull the required conductors into the box. Note that there are no
knockouts on the back of the cabinet. All wiring should be in accordance with the National and/or
Local codes for fire alarm systems.
2.2 Backbox Installation
Backbox installation is accomplished by using the following procedures:
✓ Mark and predrill holes for the top two backbox mounting bolts using the dimensions
shown in Figure 2.1. The top of the backbox should be approximately five feet above the
floor
✓ Install two upper fasteners in the wall with the screw heads protruding
✓ Using the upper keyholes, mount the backbox over the two screws
✓ Mark and drill the lower two holes
✓ Install the remaining fasteners and tighten all fasteners to complete backbox mounting
✓ Install the door as described in the CAB-3/CAB-4 Product Installation Drawing. It is
advisable to install the door hinges and alignment tabs before installing the XPIQ-MB
motherboard and other boards since space is limited once the modules are installed
✓ After the area is clean and free of construction debris, install the XPIQ-MB into the
cabinet
