WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and asso-
ciated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or
inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while
the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or
operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software
Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any
programming operation or change in site-specific software.
Reacceptance testing is required after any change,
addition or deletion of system components, 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
inadvertently 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 indoor dry
operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F
and at a relative humidity of
93 ±2% RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2°
C/90 ±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 all peripherals be
installed in an environment with a nominal room tempera-
ture of 15-27° C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and
indicating device loops. Refer to manual Specifications
section for maximum allowable 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
interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility.
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, and printed circuit board
location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening 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 circuits so that static charges are removed
from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to
protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and
programming manuals. These instructions must be
followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause interference to radio communications. It has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for class
A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when 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 their 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 Department of Communications.
Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits
radioelectriques 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.
