3 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the AUTOPULSE Z-20. It can be semi-flush or surface mounted.
3.1 Mounting the AUTOPULSE Z-20
• Due to the danger of metal fragments falling into electronics when drilling the holes for the conduits, remove the electronics in the
system:
- To remove the electronics, unscrew the ten screws. Remove the power supply and store it in a safe, clean, and dry location until the
panel installation is completed, see Figure 4.
- Remove the Zone/Relay card (three screws).
• The knockouts are not provided. Locate and create a suitable punch for a conduit entrance if necessary.
Figure 4: Screws location
• For surface or semi-flush mounting to a wooden wall structure, the panel must be attached with four 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) lag bolts and
four 1/2 in. (13 mm) diameter washers, supplied by others.
• For surface mounting, secure the box to the wall using the tear-drop mounting holes on the back surface. For semi-flush mounting,
secure the box along the sides to the wall studs. Note that the front surface of the back box must protrude at least 1 1/2 in. (38mm)
from the wall surface for semi-flush installation. A trim kit is supplied for semi-flush mounting, see the Applying the trim kit section for
more information.
• To install the panel, see Figure 5 for the dimensions and use the holes in the back box to secure it to the wall.

Figure 5: Back box installation dimensions and semi-flush mounting (right)
3.2 Trim kit
Trim kits are used to cosmetically cover wall openings when boxes are mounted semi-flush into the wall. The kit includes:
• Two top trim bands (shorter).
• Two side trim bands (longer).
• Four corner pieces.
Figure 6: Semi-flush trim kit
page 9 579-1102AR Rev C
Z-20 Agent Releasing Panel Installation Manual

3.2.1 Applying the trim kit
After mounting the box semi-flush to the wall, attach the trim by completing the following steps::
1. Cut the strips before attaching them. Carefully cut them to length with a hacksaw or sharp utility knife. Cut the strips
approximately 1 in. (25 mm) shorter than the box dimension. The box is 20 7/8 in. (530 mm) wide and 20 3/16 in. (512 mm) high.
2. Attach the strips one at the time. Peel off the adhesive tape release and center the strip on the box, placing the edge of the strip
against the box surface, then press firmly to assure adhesion.
3. Each corner piece overlaps the trim strip slightly less than 3/4 in. (19 mm). Align the corner pieces tightly to the box corner and
attach with a drywall or a similar screw that is suitable for the wall material. The screws are not supplied.
Figure 7: Applying the trim
3.3 Wiring
Wiring guidelines
Follow these guidelines when connecting power-limited (PL) systems. For more information about these guidelines, contact your
authorized product supplier.
• All wiring, including that to the non-fire alarm equipment, shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire
Alarm and Signalling Code, NFPA 72.
• Non-power limited (NPL) field wiring (AC power, batteries, DACT) must be installed and routed in the shaded areas shown in Figure 8.
• You must maintain a minimum of 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) space between NPL and PL field wiring.
• The AC harness is pre-wired and tied to the back of the box.
page 10 579-1102AR Rev C
Z-20 Agent Releasing Panel Installation Manual

Figure 8: Field wiring guidelines (NAC power supply shown as reference)
• The conductors must test free of all grounds.
• A system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning protection devices. This connection must comply with approved
earth detection per NFPA780.
• Splicing is permitted. All spliced connections must either be soldered (resin-core solder), crimped in metal sleeves, or encapsulated
with an epoxy resin. When soldering or crimped metal sleeves are used, the junction must be insulated with a high-grade electrical
tape that is as sound as the original insulating jacket. Shield continuity must be maintained throughout.
• Excess slack should be kept to a minimum inside the back box enclosure. The wiring should be neatly dressed and bundled together
using wire ties.
• All wiring must use copper conductors only, unless noted otherwise.
• For IDNet, shielded wire is not recommended. If shielded wires are present, cut and tape off the shield at each end in the panel
to prevent it coming into contact with other components. The metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained and insulated
throughout the entire length of the cable.
• If shielded wire is used, the metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the entire cable length, and the entire
length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 megohm to earth ground. Underground wiring must be free of all water.
page 11 579-1102AR Rev C
Z-20 Agent Releasing Panel Installation Manual

Figure 9: EOL relay diagram
• In areas of high lightning activity, or in areas that have large power surges, use the 2081-9044 Transient Suppressor on monitor
points.
• Do not run wires through elevator shafts.
• Only system wiring can be run together in the same conduit. When powering remote units using relay contacts, power for these
circuits must be provided by a PL power supply listed for fire-protective signaling use. An end-of-line (EOL) relay must be used to
supervise the Aux power circuit.
• Connect the output of the EOL relay to cause a trouble. Wire in series with the EOL resistor on an available initiating device circuit
(IDC) or individual addressable module (IAM).
3.3.1 Safety ground/ ferrite bead
Proper operation and protection against transient energy in accordance with UL 864 and ULC-S527 require the connection of safety
ground wire to cabinet chassis. Connect the safety ground before wiring any other circuits to the panel.
In addition, ferrite beads must be attached to the incoming AC power line as shown in Figure 10. Wrap the line leg twice through a ferrite
bead, and the neutral leg of the power line twice through the other ferrite bead.
Figure 10: Safety ground and ferrite bead
Note: The ferrite bead should be installed as close as possible to where power enters the panel.
page 12 579-1102AR Rev C
Z-20 Agent Releasing Panel Installation Manual

3.3.2 AC supply wiring
Adhere to the following guidelines when wiring AC Power. See Safety ground/ ferrite bead for information about attaching the ferrite bead
to the AC power wires.
• The AC power must be wired from a dedicated circuit breaker or fuse, rated no more than 20 A, in accordance with NFPA-72, NEC, and
local codes.
• Before handling the AC feed, verify that it is not live using a voltmeter. Make sure the circuit is de-energized and tagged to prevent
injury.
• The AC supply wiring must be 14 AWG minimum to 12 AWG maximum.
• Connect a 12 AWG copper ground wire from safety ground in the electrical distribution panel to the panel safety ground stud.
• Input voltage:
- 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
- 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
• It is not necessary to select configuration settings.
• Use a pure sine wave type UPS to supply the 4007ES. Do not use a modified sine wave.
3.3.3 Battery guidelines
Use a fused harness to connect the backup batteries. Use harness 734-304 for a NAC power supply. The harness is shipped with the
panel. The mating spade lug on the battery should be 0.250 in. X 0.032 in. (6.35 mm X 0.81 mm). If another size is needed, you need to
replace the battery terminal connectors on the supplied battery harness.
• The AUTOPULSE Z-20 battery charger supports up to 33 Ah batteries (maximum) within UL864 and ULCS527 guidelines.
- 18 Ah batteries can fit inside the box.
- 25 Ah and 33 Ah batteries use 2081-9282 (red 25 Ah or 33 Ah) or 4009-9801 (beige 25 Ah).
• To minimize the power losses due to wiring from the external battery box to the AUTOPULSE Z-20, use at least a 12 AWG wire. Mount
the battery box within 20 feet (609.6 cm) of the panel in accordance with the mounting instruction label in the box. All interconnecting
wiring must be enclosed in conduit.
• Seismic battery brackets can be used internally in the AUTOPULSE Z-20 box (the 2081-9401: 12.7 Ah bracket, and the 2081-9402: 18
Ah bracket). For more information on how to install the seismic brackets, see the Battery Bracket installation instructions (579-944).
• Battery rating calculations include a minimum 20% safety margin above the calculated amp-hour capacity required (per NFPA 72).
3.4 Power
To finish the installation, complete the following steps: :
1. Reinstall the power supply and the electronics.
2. To install the batteries, complete the following steps:
a. Place the first battery on the left side of the panel to avoid interference with the DACT, if installed.
Note: The battery terminals should face the front of the box.
b. Insert the second battery and make sure it is closely positioned beside the first battery.
c. Wire the batteries in series such that you have 24 V. Use the white wire provided to bridge the batteries together, see Figure 11.
