Installing The Reach Loop Interface - Reach PP5099 Manual

Installation
Prior to installation, a site survey must have been completed and the official REACH Survey Sheet (available from
apollo-fire.co.uk) must be available. Installing the REACH Loop Interface: Included equipment 1 x Loop Interface Module
4 x Screws (wall plugs not provided)
The Translator Module is IP65 rated, suitable for
external mounting. The back box must be installed
on the wall as flat as possible to retain IP rating, to
prevent distortion of the housing and the ingress of
contamination and/or moisture.
Start by removing the top and bottom front plastic
covers that cover the white plastic screws.
Using a flat-headed screwdriver, unscrew all four
screws and remove the lid from the back box.
Be careful to use an appropriate-sized screwdriver
head, as failure to do so may deform the screw head.
Using a suitable-sized drill bit (4mm), drill the
pre-defined mounting points in the four corners of
the back-box.
While it is possible to mount the product using the inner
four mounding points which provide pivot adjustment,
these will prevent the product from retaining its IP65
protection.
Remove the electronic PCB assembly from the back-box by
un-screwing the two Philips screws below the display, then
sliding the PCB up and out.
This is to prevent damage to the PCB while drilling through the
mounting and wiring knock-outs.
Determine which of the 20mm knock-outs would best suit
your wiring in to the addressable loop.
Ensure that only the top knock-outs are used, not the bottom
ones as the loop terminals are located at the top of the PCB
and the radios are at the bottom. Passing the loop cables
near the radios may reduce signal strength.
Once selected, drill through while considering the cable
gland that you are going to use.
In order to maintain the IP rating of the product, use IP67 cable
glands.
