Installation
Before You Begin
Be sure the actual work is performed by experienced personnel, licensed to carry out
security system installations and capable of implementing all applicable requirements
of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-70 and NFPA-74), as well as any
federal, state, and local codes – along with any safety guidelines and regulations
which might apply.
Mounting the Control Panel
1. Mount the ORBIT-14’s metal cabinet at a protected dry location, near a source of
unswitched AC Power, a good ground, and access to telephone service. Use the
proper hardware (e.g., anchors, toggle bolts), as required, to insure a suitable
mounting.
2. Thread all electrical wiring through a convenient hole in the metal cabinet. To
prevent potential damage, be sure that live AC power is NOT present and that the
Standby Battery is NOT connected. (Refer to page 8). Your wiring may include
any and all of the following:
•
Connections to Hardwired Zones
•
Connections to devices requiring Uninterrupted Auxiliary Power (e.g., PIRs,
Glass Break Detectors)
•
Connections to Smoke Detectors requiring Reset table Power
•
Connections to any External Sounders
3. Have a Standby Battery ready (typically 12 VDC, 7 AH), but do not connect it at
this time.
4. If using a Key-switch, use a momentary key-switch. The receiver (if used) must
give a pulse output and not on/off.
Safety Warnings
•
When the panel is powered, mains voltage is present on the main PCB. To
prevent risk of electric shock, disconnect all power (AC transformer and battery)
and phone cord before servicing. On no account should mains power be
connected to the PCB other than the main terminal block.
•
For AC mains connection, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be
incorporated in the building installation wiring.
•
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses only with fuses of
the same type and rating
•
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect battery type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. (The control panel is
designed to work with a 12 volt, 7 Amp-hour sealed lead battery as a back up for
the primary power supply.)
