SECTION 1: WIRING AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Wiring and Safety Information

It is essential that this product is installed correctly, in particular with respect to a
persons safety and connection to the mains electricity supply.
This product is not suitable for installation, maintenance or connection by the user;
installation and maintenance must be carried out by a competent, qualified installer,
for example, BS5750 or NACOSS approved.
It is a condition of the product's approval that the installer complies with the follow-
ing.

Siting

The control panel enclosure must be sited indoors in a secure area where it cannot be
readily interfered with, but in a location where there is 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 splashing by, water or other fluids.

Fixing

The enclosure base must be securely fixed to a vertical, smooth, solid surface which
is 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 tempera-
ture, it is important that adequate ventilation is provided around the cabinet; there-
fore heat-radiating equipment or other sources of heat should not be positioned close
to the cabinet.

Cabling

The product has high voltage barriers between the mains supply and the alarm wiring
terminals. It is essential that these barriers are maintained in the way the cables enter
the cabinet, are routed inside the cabinet and are routed externally.
Rear entry points are provided for cable entries; additional holes must not be cut in
the enclosure. Where necessary, the cable must be protected at the entry point by the
use of grommets. Alarm system cables must not be allowed to loop inside the cabi-
net – they must be neatly trimmed.
The cables external to the cabinet must be either firmly affixed to the fabric of the
building using suitable clips or saddles, or mechanically protected in conduit or
trunking. It must not be possible to put strain on the wiring within the control cabinet
by pulling on cable external to the cabinet.
