Mounting the Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel
IMPORTANT! Electronic components within the panel are vulnerable to damage from electrostatic discharge.
Ground straps must be worn by installers before handling circuit boards to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge.
Mount the cabinet box on a flat, dry surface and align it so that it is at eye-level with the center of the panel GUI.
Use the cabinet box as a template and mark the position of the mounting holes while ensuring that the wall is flat
at the chosen location.
The Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel must be mounted in an accessible location. It must not be mounted in another
enclosure or near sources of excessive heat. The Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel is intended for indoor, dry use
only.
Use knockout tabs of the cabinet box to route external cabling into the panel.
IMPORTANT! Drilling additional holes in the cabinet will void the product warranty.
Removing Cabinet Components
Remove the fascia, lid, backplate, and batteries before mounting the cabinet box. The fascia contains the LCD
Main Processor Board and, optionally, Zone LED indicators and a printer. The backplate contains the Main Back
Board, power supply, and grounding terminals. To remove these components:
1. Disconnect the four ground jumper cables from the cabinet.
