INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The following paragraphs provide an overview of installation steps once the system is unpacked
and site preparation is completed.
2-3.1
Step One: Installing the Control Unit Back Box and Preparing Electrical Wiring
The control unit back box can be either surface or semi-flush mounted. For full mounting
and installation procedures, see Paragraph 2-4.
In addition to back box mounting, the site must be prepared with appropriate electrical
wiring before system installation can begin.

Step Four: Auto-Configuring the System
Auto-configure the system as directed in Paragraph 3-2.5.2.4.28, or run the
AutoLearn Procedure as shown in Paragraph 3-2.5.2.4.26. Print out the list of SLC-
based initiating devices and addressable control and/or relay modules detected by
P/N 06-236530-001
Removing knockouts.
Knockouts must be removed from the control-unit back box to enable the
connection between the conduit and the back box. Consult approved electrical
installation drawings for connection information.
Installing conduit.
Route properly-sized conduit from the control-unit back box to locations designated
on the approved layout drawings for peripheral devices. Refer to the locations of
the automatic and manual initiating devices, notification appliances, remote
display/control modules, control heads for the extinguishing system, and
addressable relay modules on the system drawings.
Electrical Boxes.
Install an electrical box at each designated location for peripheral devices such as
automatic and manual initiating devices, notification appliances, control heads for
the extinguishing system, and addressable relay modules. Refer to the installation
instructions included with the peripheral devices for the proper types of electrical
boxes.
Electrical wiring
Route the properly-sized and required wiring through conduit from the control unit
to the field devices. Observe the wiring manufacturer's recommended minimum
bending radii for all internal-control-unit and external wiring. Use appropriate
equipment to check and record the wiring for insulation resistance to earth ground.
Measure and record the wiring resistance for all external circuits. Also measure and
the record the SLC wiring capacitance. Refer to the approved electrical installation
drawings and to the recommendations in this manual.
Wiring Connections and SmartOne Devices.
Mount and make wiring connections to the peripheral devices as shown in their
installation instructions. Be sure that all SLC-based SmartOne devices have been
electronically addressed prior to installation.
Install the ARIES power supply and main printed-circuit board.
Dress and connect field wiring to the ARIES Control Unit's main printed-circuit
board as shown on the approved system drawings and as illustrated in this
manual.
