INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
System installation is independent of whether the modules were ordered separately or as part of a
complete SHP system. For optional modules not used, skip the instructions detailing their installation.
Proper system installation requires following steps 4.1 – 4.11 in order.
CAUTION: The SHP Control System contains static sensitive components. Handle the module
by the edges only and avoid touching the integrated components. Keep the module in the
protective static bags it was shipped in until time for installation. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling the module(s). If the installer is grounded at all times, damage
due to static discharge will not occur. If the module requires repair or return to Fike, it must be
shipped in an anti-static bag.
4.1

ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION

The mounting location for the control panel enclosure is very important. Vibration, dust, moisture,
electromagnetic interference, and radio frequency interference are all types of problems that could
adversely effect the successful operation of the equipment. Choose a mounting location that is free from
environmental problems. Refer to Section 3.6, Specifications, for the exact temperature ratings of the
equipment. Do not install in an environment that exceeds these temperature ranges. The SHP Control
System enclosure is not fire rated. DO NOT INSTALL ON or IN A FIRE RATED WALL.
The control panel should be installed so the viewing window is approximately 60" above the floor. The
back-box can be surface or flush mounted as desired. For surface mounting, utilize the four 'tear-drop'
openings in the back of the box. For flush mounting, cut the opening in the wall to fit the 21" high by
14.35" wide back-box. Reference Section 3.7, Enclosure Specifications, for enclosure dimensions.
Determine the maximum number of conductors needed from the design. Wire is to be routed to the
control panel through back-box via knock-out openings (Reference Section 4.2). Conduit is not required,
but is recommended, especially for an electrically noisy environment. Conduit knock-outs are provided
for two distinct conduit sizes. Removing just the inside hole creates a one-half inch (1/2") opening.
Removing the entire opening provides a three-quarter inch (3/4") opening.
CAUTION: Do not install the electronic assemblies into the back-box until the environment is free
from construction dust.
Unless otherwise detailed in this manual, or in other documents relating to this control panel, the
technician shall utilize published standards and references such as NFPA 70 National Electrical Code,
NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code, and others, which may be relevant to the Local Authority Having
Jurisdiction.
