7.5 Battery Installation Procedure 
Place two foam pads on the bottom of the battery and two on the upper rear. Place the battery in the case 
and secure with two tie wraps. 
7.6 Mounting Procedure for Devices 
Mount the equipment carefully in suitable locations, noting particularly the following: 
a. Input expander units (RIXs or RIX2s) should be located to suit the wiring to appropriate detectors. 
Mounting more than two together is not recommended. 
b. Where input expanders, output modules or access controllers are mounted on power supplies, all 
connections are automatically made to draw all current from the power supply, and to use the system 
diagnostic capabilities to control the power supply. 
c.  Intelligent power supplies cannot be used in isolation from the PCX system plug-on PCBs. 
d.  Keypads and tag readers should NOT be mounted on or near a metal surface, or within a metre of each 
other, or tag response could be affected. 
e.  Where provided, metal housings must have the earth strap connected to the lid to meet electrical safety 
regulations.
