2 The Control Panel
2.1 Location guidelines
To make installation and servicing easy and efficient, the FORCE’s control panel, transformer
and backup battery are mounted on a special rack. The rack is covered by a metal lid.
Use the following list as a guide to find a suitable location to install the FORCE security system:
Install the control panel in a protected location, where people cannot trip over any
line or power cord.
Select a location free from vibration and shock.
Mount this product on a flat stable surface, near telephone and network sockets, and
a power outlet.
Do not choose a location that exposes the control panel to direct sunlight, excessive
heat, moisture, vapors, chemicals, or dust.
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
Disconnect all sources of power supply prior to installation. Pay attention: do not
install low voltage wires near any AC power wires. They should be installed
separately.
Do not install this product near water, e.g. bath tub, sink, wet basement.
2.2 Installation
Make sure AC power and battery are not connected prior to
installation.
The control panel is installed on a designated metal rack. The rack is supplied with a lid. The
rack is also designed to hold a transformer, a backup battery, a local zone expander (optional),
and a radio transmitter.
To install the control panel, follow the next steps.
1. Use the next diagram to position the two upper and one middle hanging holes.
2. Pass the wires of the zones and expanders from behind the rack, through the opening.
3. According to the designated surface, use appropriate wall plugs (if necessary) and screws
and mount the rack.
4. Connect the wiring.
5. Place the metal cover: tilt it upwards, insert the 2 tooth on the rack to the notches on the
cover, place the cover on the rack and fasten the screw at the bottom.
