Module Installation

The following instructions are based on the assumption that the fire alarm is already installed.
1. Install the QBB-5001 Audio Backbox and door in the desired location.
2. Install the QMB-5000B Motherboard / Card-Cage into the backbox.
3. Install the QBC-5000B Battery Charger into the backbox. Connect its cable to J1 on the motherboard.
4. Install the QPS-5000 Power Supply into the backbox. Be careful: the QPS-5000 is very heavy.
5. Connect the heavy orange - yellow - orange wires from the motherboard to the power supply (see Figure 5 on
page 10) being careful to match the wire colour to the labelling on the power supply.
6. Connect the un-powered 120 VAC line power and chassis ground to the power supply following the labelling.
Ground the power supply to the box. Do not apply AC power at this time.
7. Install the two 12 VDC batteries into the backbox.
8. Connect the battery cables from the motherboard to the batteries as shown in Figure 5 on page 10, but do not
connect the cable between the batteries at this time.
9. Install the QIF-5000B Audio Interface Module into the left-most slot (slot #1) in the motherboard. Plug in the
desired amplifiers.
When plugging in these modules, the components are facing left. Slide the module in place and to avoid damage,
making sure that the edge connector is properly mating with the header on the motherboard. Keep the module as
straight and level as possible and use even pressure on the top and bottom. The module is connected properly after
it snaps into place.
ATTENTION: Powering the QX- 5000 with incorrectly installed Modules will cause permanent damage.
10.Connect and check (for opens, shorts, and ground) all the amplifiers' field wiring.
11. Connect and check (for opens, shorts, and ground) the QMP-5100B or QMP-5101B to
QIF-5000B field wiring.
12.Connect and check (for opens, shorts, and ground) the QIF-5000B to fire alarm field wiring.

Before Turning the Power "ON"...

The fire alarm and annunciator installation should be completed first. Temporary end-of-line resistors may be
installed on the zones used to interface to the QX-5000. Be sure to reconnect to the QX-5000 when complete.
To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main
A.C. supply.
1. Check and secure all interconnection wiring cables.
2. Check and secure all interconnection wiring cables to the Fire Alarm Control Panel.
3. Check the A.C. power wiring for proper connection.
4. Check that the chassis is connected to earth ground (cold water pipe).
