1 Installation

Wiring methods used shall be in accordance with Standard for Installation and Classification of Burglar and Holdup Alarm Systems, UL 681.
Wiring methods used shall be in accordance with Standard for Central Station Alarm Services, UL 827.
This product is intended to be installed in accordance with the following:

Follow these guidelines when mounting the product’s backbox:

Backbox should be installed in a dry, indoor location.

It is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27°C/60-80°F and at 

a relative humidity of 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F).

Locate the backbox so the top edge is 66 inches (1.6764 m) above the surface of the finished floor.

Access to the cabinet shall be in accordance with NFPA 90, article 110.33.

Allow sufficient clearance around cabinet for door to swing freely.

Use cables provided to connect dress panel(s) and cabinet door to earth ground.

 

NOTE:

The term NFS-320 is used to refer to the NFS-320, NFS-320E, NFS-320C, and NFS-320SYS unless otherwise noted.
