Cable Segregation
All cables for the fire alarm system should be segregated from any other cables/
wiring/services .
Panel Installation
The panel should be installed in a clean, dry, reasonably well ventilated place, and
not in direct sunlight . Temperatures in excess of 40°C and below 5°C may cause
problems, if in doubt consult Eaton Fire Systems . The panel should be located away
from any potential hazard, in a position where it is readily accessible to authorised
staff, and the fire services, ideally on the perimeter of a building near a permanent
entrance . Mount the panel to the wall using the drill template provided . Do not drill
through the panel to the wall as dust will contaminate the circuitry .
