Location
Site all equipment indoors in well-lit areas, free from obstruction. Site wall controllers in the control room or lobby, 1.4
metres above final floor level (FFL). Fit Type A (fire telephone) outstations in fire fighting lobbies and fire access points,
ECU-16 Wall
1.3 to 1.4 metres above FFL. Fit Type B (disabled refuge) outstations in disabled refuges, 0.9 to 1.0 metre above FFL.

Mounting
F U S E
Remove base PCBs before first fix installation to protect them and expose the base mounting holes. Wall mount the
3A fused spur
controllers, either surface or semi-flush. Fix the base securely onto a wall using No.8 round-head, or countersunk screws.
After mounting, remove any dust/swarf and re-install base PCBs. Ensure all connecting looms are refitted.
Wiring
4
See Fig 1 above for cable types. Install wiring in accordance with the relevant national, regional or local regulations (in the UK this is the IEE
Wiring Regs BS 7671 and BS 5839 Part 1). Use enhanced fire-rated cables from the controller to the Type A & B outstations and the power supply.
N/O C N/C 0V +24 OP3 OP2 OP1
Test Extensions 12
Test all extensions for faults before terminating to the controller using a FITT EVC line tester.
CAUTION: DO NOT use an Insulation Resistance Tester with any devices connected as they will be destroyed and the warranty will be void.
Fit Outstations & NC951 Interface
Maximum recommended cable distance to the outstations is 1 km, beyond which audio quality may degrade. For wiring and connection
All screens connect
details refer to Type A outstation instructions (Doc. No. DCM0003819) and Type B outstation instructions (Doc. No. DAU0302000).
to Earth terminal
Connect Extensions 13.1
N/O C N/C 0V +24 OP3 OP2 OP1
Do not connect extensions to the controller until they have been tested, fault-free and suitable cable glands fitted. Connect extensions
directly to the Master Exchange PCB inside the controller (see Fig 2 left). Connect screens to the earth terminal in the back of the enclosure.
For an optional Desk Control Unit (ECU-224), mount a CAT5 wall socket near to the controller's location and connect from the wall socket to
the ECU-224 using a CAT5 lead (supplied). Connect two 4-core fire-rated cables (not supplied) from the controller to the wall socket.
