Chapter 3 - Installation and Setup
Section 3-1 - Introduction
The lives of people depend upon the safe and proper installation of the SAFEPATH
®
Panel. Please read,
understand and carefully follow the specific installation instructions set forth below to avoid damage to the
SAFEPATH
®
Panel and equipment connected to it. Only qualified personnel in accordance with the
procedures in this manual should conduct installation.
WARNING: SHUT OFF ALL POWER BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION. ELECTRICAL
SHOCK CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT AC POWER OR BATTERY BACKUP POWER UNTIL SYSTEM
WIRING HAS BEEN CONNECTED, MODULES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, AND
FIELD WIRING HAS BEEN INSPECTED.
CAUTION: The SAFEPATH
®
printed circuit boards are sensitive to static electricity and have
delicate components mounted on them. Before handling either a board or any
component on a board, discharge any static electricity from your body by touching
a grounded object such as a metal screw, which is connected to earth, ground.
Handle the board by its edges, and be careful not to twist or flex it. The
SAFEPATH
®
Panel is to be installed in a static free area and the user is to properly
attach grounded wrist straps before touching any static sensitive areas. After
handling SAFEPATH
®
printed circuit boards, verify that the printed circuit boards
are undamaged and functioning properly.
The installer, prior to installation should consult with the authorities having jurisdiction
(AHJ).
Section 3-2 - Fire Alarm Control Panel Interface Wiring Applications
The SAFEPATH
®
Panel can be connected to either the FACP alarm output dry contact or to the
FACP Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). If it is connected to the NAC, then the Notification
Appliance Circuit Interface Module (NACIM) shall be used. Follow the NACIM instruction sheet
(P83478) for proper mounting and wiring.
The SAFEPATH
®
Panel may be connected to either a “silenceable” or “non-silenceable” notification
appliance circuit depending upon system requirements. When the SAFEPATH
®
Panel is connected to
a “silenceable” NAC circuit on the FACP, activating the FACP’s alarm silence switch will silence it.
The Strobe NAC circuit on the SAFEPATH
®
Panel will also be silenced. In order for the strobes to
remain in alarm when the audible is silenced, the Strobe NAC circuit must be connected to a “non-
silenceable” NAC circuit on the FACP.
A SAFEPATH
®
Panel connected to a “non-silenceable” NAC circuit cannot be silenced from the
FACP.
“TROUBLE”, Form C relay terminals are available for monitoring the condition of the SAFEPATH
®
Panel at the FACP.
