CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
2-1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter is intended for system installers. It provides information necessary to successfully
prepare for and install the FenwalNET 8000-ML
TM
control unit. The system design is based on the
requirements of Fenwal Protection Systems, Underwriter Laboratories (UL), FM Approvals and codes
and standards of the National Fire Protection Association. In all cases, the installation must meet the
requirements of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer also to the Installer’s Wiring
Diagram, P/N 06-237045-001, that is packaged with the FenwalNET 8000-ML system.
2-2 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation of the FenwalNET 8000-ML system, do the following:
1. Unpack the shipping carton.
Note: The use of two people to lift the control unit out of its carton is recommended.
2. Gather all necessary materials and tools.
3. Determine a wall location for the control unit and peripherals.
2-2.1 Unpacking the System
Check the contents of the FenwalNET 8000-ML shipping carton(s) to ensure that you have received
the components listed below. (Refer to the Parts List in Chapter 7 for part numbers of some items.)
1. Remove the keys from the envelope taped to the top of the enclosure.
2. Disconnect the ground wire that connects the enclosure door to the enclosure.
3. Remove the control unit door first by unlocking it and then lifting the door up to allow the door’s
hinges to clear the mating-hinge pins on the enclosure.
4. Remove the separately packaged power supply unit, Power Management Unit Board, Main
Controller Board with attached Keypad/Display and installation hardware and documentation
from inside the enclosure. Set these parts and the door aside in a safe location to prevent damage.
5. Locate all optional system components ordered and set them aside in a safe location.
Note: Optional components such as the Expansion Card Cage, Expansion Cards, additional Power
Supply Units, etc. will be packaged separately (not contained in the FenwalNET 8000-ML
Enclosure).
