Installation Prerequisites
Unit installation is limited to the control panel. Installation instructions for
additional communication modules are included in appendices in this manual.
For information on installing the various detectors, please refer to the
individual manuals supplied with the detector.
3.2.1
Preparing the Installation Environment
Establish the control panel location using the following guidelines:
Locate the control panel in a place where the temperature is within the
specified limits for operation.
When distributing wiring, avoid putting the system wires close to house
wiring to reduce capacitive coupling of noise.
Locate the control panel in the center of the premises to avoid long runs
to any one location.
Install the panel 130 cm +/- 10 cm from the floor. Make sure to leave 15
cm all around the control panel for ventilation and/or wiring entry. The
panel should be installed at eye level to ease in making connections or
repairs.
3.2.2
Preparing the Wiring
The control panel provides 12 VDC up to 1 Ampere for PGM add-ons and
sensors. The maximum wire length between the panel and accessories
depends on the amount of current drawn by the accessory and the gauge of
the conductors (wires) used.
