Installation Precautions

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

WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected 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 inter-
connecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to 
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and 
understood. 

CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software 
Changes:

 To ensure proper system operation, this product must be 

tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming opera-
tion or change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance 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 inadver-
tently 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 0-49º 

C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-con-
densing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°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 its peripherals 
be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 
15-27º C/60-80º 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 interference, proper grounding will reduce suscepti-
bility. 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, or printed 
circuit board location. 

Do not tighten screw terminals

 more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tighten-

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

This system contains static-sensitive components.

 Always 

ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any cir-
cuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static 
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed 
from the unit.

Units with a touchscreen display

 should be cleaned with a dry, 

clean, lint free/microfiber cloth. If additional cleaning is required, 
apply a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe 
clean. Do not use detergents, solvents, or water for cleaning. Do 
not spray liquid directly onto the display.

Follow the instructions

 in the installation, operating, and pro-

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

FCC Warning

WARNING: 

This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-

ate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instruction manual may cause interfer-
ence to radio communications. It has been tested and found 
to comply with the limits for class A computing devices pur-
suant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is 
designed to provide reasonable protection against such 
interference when devices are 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 or her 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 Interference Regulations of the Canadian Depart-
ment of Communications.

Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radio-
electriques 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.
