Requirements

Use a suitable cable, e.g. NYM 3 x 1.5 mm
connecting the system to the mains.

Connect the fire alarm control panel to the AC mains power supply via a separate mains isolator or a suitably
rated circuit breaker. The rated voltage (e.g. 230 V AC) is specified on the FACP type plate.

Use a separate FI unit if FI circuit breakers are used.

Mark the fuse protection for the mains supply for the fire alarm system control panel accordingly (in red, label
as 'FACP'). Observe national standards and guidelines!

Make sure to correctly connect the protective earth (PE) and functional earth (FE).

Observe local power supply provider regulations.

The fire alarm control panel has been fitted with fine surge protection in accordance with EN 54 and the
VdS guidelines. Should coarse protection be required, this must be installed by the installer for the specific
system.
Observe the rated voltage (e.g. 230 V AC) specifications on the FACP type plate!
Connecting cable insulation
The cable sheath (jacket) of all of the connecting cables must be left intact up to a point inside the
housing and only be removed inside the housing.
Fuses
The fuses of the FACP or external power supply units cannot prevent an unexpected fault in
electrical modules; rather, these fuses are intended to protect users and their surroundings from
damage. Fuses must therefore never be repaired or bridged or replaced with any fuses other than
the stated type!
Danger of damage!
The mounting surface and mounting material must be strong enough to hold the relevant battery type
used.
Protective and functional earth
For the device to function properly, the network side protective earthing (PE) connection must be
connected to the correct terminal. The functional earth (FE) must also be connected to the protective
earthing rail (PE rail).
