1.2 System Design

•
All installation work should be carried out in accordance with the survey and system design.
•
It is recommended that the EMS Fire Cell Radio Hub, Radio Cluster Communicators and radio
devices are located in accordance with the radio survey and system design. This should be
established before installation work commences.

1.3 Handling Precautions

•
General: Care should be taken when handling the EMS FireCell product range. Avoid dropping
any of the parts onto hard surfaces, as damage may occur to the case and internal circuitry.
•
ESD Precautions: EMS FireCell products include components that are susceptible to damage
from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Permanent damage may be caused to these components
through routine handling if precautions are not observed. To reduce the risk of damage from
ESD, the following precautions should be observed.
• Minimise the handling of PCB's which contain static sensitive components.
• Where handling is unavoidable, always ensure that adequate earthing precautions have
been taken. An earthed wrist strap is recommended.
• When storing or transporting a "loose" PCB always use a container which has been designed
and manufactured with ESD protective properties.
• Avoid placing static sensitive devices on any surfaces, which may increase the risk of a
static discharge
