Mounting; General Installation Guidelines - Interlogix ATSx500A Series Installation And Programming Manual

Chapter 2: Installation

Mounting

The unit is mounted with screws or bolts through the mounting holes in the rear
section of the enclosure.
Important: When the product is mounted to the wall, assure that at least
3 times the weight of the product can be supported. The product weight is the
product itself plus battery and accessories.
Ensure that the unit is mounted on a flat, solid, vertical surface such that the
base will not flex or warp when the mounting screws and bolts are tightened.
Leave a 50 mm clearance between equipment enclosures mounted side by side
and 25 mm between the enclosure and the sidewall.
The rechargeable battery must not be fitted until the control panel is secured to
the fixing surface. Under no circumstances should the panel be transported with
a battery fitted.
Take care that wire terminals are isolated. The use of cable ties to neatly secure
cables is recommended.

General installation guidelines

The Advisor Advanced control panels have been designed, assembled, and
tested to meet the requirements of current relevant standards for safety,
emission, and immunity to environmental electrical and electromagnetic
interference.
If the following guidelines are followed, the system will give many years of
reliable service.
In addition to the following guidelines, during the installation of the Advisor
Advanced control panel, it is essential to follow any country-dependent local
standard requirements applicable to the installation. Only a qualified electrician or
other suitably trained and qualified person should attempt to wire this system to
the AC mains or to the public telephone network.
• Ensure that there is a good earth available for the alarm system.
• Maintain a separation between low voltage and mains supply cables. Use
separate points of cable entry to the control panel cabinet.
• If the upper and/or lower cabinet entry cable holes are used to route wiring
into the control panel, always use a proper pipe fitting system by means of an
appropriate conduit and junction box. For this purpose, use only materials of
suitable flammability class (HB or better).
