The cabinet may be either semi-flush or surface mounted. The cabinet mounts using key slots and
two 0.250" (6.35 mm) diameter holes located in the backbox. The key slots are located at the top of
the backbox and the two securing holes at the bottom.
Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry,
vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily
accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the panel. Locate the top of the cabi-
net approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor with the hinge mounting on the left. Determine the
number of conductors required for the devices to be installed. Sufficient knockouts are provided
for wiring convenience. Select the appropriate knockout(s) and pull the conductors into the box.
All wiring should be in accordance with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm systems.
2.1 Mounting
The circuit board contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper
wrist strap before handling any boards so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies.
