2.2 Installation Requirements

All components of the E3 Series
• Installations are to be indoors only, in dry locations, protected from rain, water, and rapid changes in temperature that could
cause condensation. Equipment must be securely mounted on rigid, permanent walls.
• Operating temperature shall not exceed the range of 32° to 120° F (0 to 49° C).
• Operating humidity not to exceed 93% non-condensing at 90° F (32° C).
• There should be adequate space around the installation to allow easy access for operation and servicing.
• All sub-assemblies and components are to be located in compliance with the local and the national codes.
• All installation field wiring shall be in compliance with the local, the national codes and the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Use the Architects and Engineering Specifications for detailed information on your facility's configuration.
• Installers must be Gamewell-FCI Factory Certified to program this product. For additional information on this product, contact
the Gamewell-FCI Customer Support to schedule the Factory Certified Training.
IMPORTANT NOTE: COLD WATER/EARTH GROUND STANDARD:
Per Article 760 of the National Electrical Code, the following terminal blocks must be connected to an Earth Ground
connection:
- Terminal TB3-3 on the ILI-MB-E3/ILI95-MB-E3
- Terminal TB3-3 on the INI-VG Series (First/Second Generation)
- Terminal TB1-5 on the INI-VG Series (Third Generation)
Failure to make a proper earth ground connection from a metallic cold water pipe or driven ground rod to this terminal will
result in loss of lightning protection, reduce the tolerance of the system to transients, and will adversely affect the operation of
the system. Panel neutral or conduit ground is not acceptable; minimum wire size is 14 AWG.
