Installation
FirePro generators
must
remain disconnected until system is completed and fire control panel
is no longer in a fault or alarm condition. The FirePro Universal Test Lamp (P/N FP-08800) can
be used to take the panel out of a fault condition.
Note:
Any required extension leads
must
be constructed as per the instructions in 3.8 Cabling
Requirements.
Note:
It is recommended that one circuit is installed and connected at a time to isolate the
cause of any faults that may occur during installation. The supplied End-of-line plugs and Test
Lamp may be used to keep the control panel out of a fault condition.
1.
Main Power:
When panel has been mounted in a suitable location, connect main supply
power using a Lead to the power input (marked red). The recommended source for the
main power supply input is the vessel’s emergency batteries.
2.
Backup Power:
Where the ves
sel’s emergency batteries are not suitable, the control panel
will need to be connected to a secondary power supply (see below) or the FP-08870/08871
Power Control Module (see product manual).
If a secondary power supply is used, it
must
be the same voltage as the main power
source. The supplied 1N5404 Charging Diode must be installed in the positive terminals of
Main Power and Backup Power. The diode is polarised, so the positive lead of the diode
(marked with a grey band) should be terminated in terminal 3 (+ Backup Power) and the
negative lead terminated in terminal 1 (+ Main Power).
