Fire-Lite LDM-32F, Instruction Manual

LimWarSm.p65    01/10/2000

WARNING 

- 

Several different sources of power can be

connected to the fire alarm control panel.  Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing.  Control unit and
associated equipment may be damaged by removing
and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting
cables while the unit is energized.  Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is
read and understood.

CAUTION - 

System Reacceptance Test after Software

Changes.  To ensure proper system operation, this
product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72
Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in
site-specific software.  Reacceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system compo-
nents, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to
system hardware or wiring.

All components, circuits, system operations, or software
functions known to be affected by a change must be
100% tested.  In addition, to ensure that other operations
are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating
devices that are not directly affected by the change, up
to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and
proper system operation verified.

This system  

meets NFPA requirements for operation

at 0-49° C/32-120° F

 and at a relative humidity of 85%

RH (non-condensing) at 30°

C/86° F.  However, the

useful life of the system's standby batteries and the
electronic components may be adversely affected by
extreme temperature ranges and humidity.  Therefore,
it is recommended that this system and all peripherals
be installed in an environment with a nominal room
temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate

 for all initiating and

indicating device loops.  Most devices cannot tolerate
more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device
voltage.

Like all solid state electronic devices,

 this system may

operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected
to lightning-induced transients.  Although no system is
completely immune from lightning transients and inter-
ferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility.
Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended,
due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning
strikes.  Consult with the Technical Services Department
if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

Disconnect AC power and batteries

 prior to removing

or inserting circuit boards.  Failure to do so can damage
circuits.

Remove all electronic assemblies

 prior to any drilling,

filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure.  When
possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear.
Before making modifications, verify that they will not
interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit
board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals

 more than 9 in-lbs.

Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in
reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with
screw terminal removal.

Though designed to last many years, 

system compo-

nents can fail at any time.  This system contains static-
sensitive components.  Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that
static charges are removed from the body.  Use static-
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies
removed from the unit.

Follow the instructions

 in the installation, operating,

and programming manuals.  These instructions must
be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment.  FACP operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

WARNING:

 This equipment generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and if not in-
stalled and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause interference to radio commu-
nications.  It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for class A computing device pursu-
ant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is
designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference when operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

Canadian Requirements

This digital apparatus does not exceed the
Class A limits for radiation noise emissions from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interfer-
ence Regulations of the Canadian Department
of Communications.

Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de
bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numeriques de la
classe A prescrites dans le Reglement sur le
brouillage radioelectrique edicte par le
ministere des Communications du Canada.

FCC Warning

Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
