System Installation 2
2.1 Safety Warnings
1. Before accessing the system modules for maintenance make sure the power is disconnected and the
battery is not attached
2. To prevent risk of shock, disconnect telephone line at telco jack before servicing this unit.
3. To prevent risk of electric shock, disconnect AC battery and phone cord BEFORE Servicing.
2.2 Location & Mounting
For modules and detectors see the component instructions for recommendations. Also see see Guidelines for
Locating Smoke Detectors and CO Detectors on page 121 and see Fire Escape Planning on page 123 for
recommendations regarding smoke and fire detector locations and Fire Escape planning.
For the 11”x11” and 8” x10” boxes containing the system components, select a site that is not accessible to
intruders.
Note: Before mounting the cabinet, know which components will be installed in this cabinet and place the
stand-offs for each component into the proper holes in the cabinet. There are 5 stand-offs for the
EVO192 panel and 4 for each of the other components. There are also stick on stand-offs packed with
the components should you want to place the components elsewhere within the cabinet.
Note: Install an anti-tamper switch for each box and connect each one to 24 hour zones inputs on the
EVO192 controller.
Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board into the
back of the cabinet. Select a centralized installation site on the main floor that is not easily accessible to
intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) around the panel box to permit adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection, Ethernet connection, and
telephone line connection. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers),
on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioner and heater ducts since they may cause
interference and reduce sensitivity and may result in false alarms. Avoid installing the control panel in the
basement.
Note: For recommended locations of detectors, bells, sirens etc. see specific the device installation guide.
2.3 Recommended Installation Procedure
1. Connect a small group of modules, including a K641 keypad.
2. Connect the battery and AC power. Enter section [4000] (see section 14.20 on page 92). Only the Clock
Loss trouble and/or Bell Absent trouble should appear. Verify the connection if a module does not appear
in section [4000], or if a module trouble occurs.
3. Disconnect AC power and the battery, follow steps 2, 3 and 4 for other modules.
4. If modules were removed, enter [4005](see section 14.18 on page 91).
