General Information

It is essential that this product is installed correctly, in particular with respect to a per-
sons safety and connection to the mains electricity supply. This product is not suitable
for installation, maintenance or connection by the user. A competent, qualified installer,
with for example BS5750 or NACOSS approval, must carry out installation and mainte-
nance.

Compliance

The Accord xpC is compatible with the relevant parts of the following standards:
• BS 4737
• EN 60950
• CTR 21
• CE Standards (EN 50130-4)
• EN 41003
It is a condition of the product's approval that the installation complies with the following:

Siting

The control panel enclosure must be sited indoors in a secure area where it cannot be
readily interfered with. There must adequate ventilation, ample light and easy access for
servicing and maintenance. It is not suitable for siting externally or in harsh environments
where it could be subject to high humidity, extremes of temperature, chemical
atmospheres, high dust levels, or in a position where it may be subject to being dripped
on, or splashed by, water or other fluids.
The enclosure base must be securely fixed to a vertical, smooth, solid surface that is a
part of the fabric of the building. The position chosen must allow the cabinet door to be
removed and allow unhindered access for installation and maintenance.

Ventilation

While the control panel has been designed so that no part attains an unsafe temperature
it is important that adequate ventilation is provided around the cabinet, therefore the
cabinet should not be positioned close to heat-radiating equipment or other sources of
heat.
