1. Introduction
1.1 About the Handbook
This handbook is intended to provide all necessary information for the
installation of the AutroSafe Fire Alarm Control Panel (BS-310/320)
and the Controller BC-320. It also gives detailed information on
connections to the network (AUTROLON) and guidelines for the
installation and addressing of loop units.
Information on the connection of detectors and other loop units to the
detection loop is found in a separate handbook, Connecting Loop
Units, 116-P-CONNECTLOOPUNIT/GBD (pdf filname
connectloopunit_gbd).
The Fire Alarm Control Panel and the Controller are identical as far as
installation procedures are concerned. Note that all illustrations
throughout this handbook shows the Fire Alarm Control Panel with
buttons, indicators and display. The Controller has a front blackplate,
and the Display Board BSR-310, Operator Board BZ-310 and
Processor Board EAC-300 are not integrated parts of the system unit.
The chapter «Service and Maintenance» outlines the recommended
monthly and annual service and maintenance procedures.
1.2 The Reader
The handbook is intended to be used by Autronica Fire and Security
trained service and technical personnel who are responsible for the
installation of the AutroSafe Interactive Fire Alarm System.
Note that this handbook deals with the mechanical and electrical
installation only. All tasks described in the handbook are to be
performed without applying power to the system.
Power must not be applied before commissioning, refer to
Commissioning Handbook.

Mounting
1.7 Introduction
This chapter deals with the following mounting alternatives:
Surface mounting
Flush mounting in a wall
For surface mounting and flush mounting in a wall, a stand-alone
cabinet is used.
1.8 Location
The Fire Alarm aControl Panel must be located in, or near by, the
entrance. Both the Fire Alarm Control Panel and the Controller must
be placed according to local regulations and in consultation with the
fire brigade.
1.9 Mounting Height / Space Requirement
To ensure optimal readability of the Fire Alarm Control Panel's
display, the recommended mounting height of this cabinet top is
approximately 175 cm above the floor.
For surface mounting and flush mounting in a wall, there must be a
free space of minimum 50 mm from the cabinet top to the ceiling in
order to fasten the top screw on the front panel door after the
installation. A crosshead screwdriver can be used for this purpose.
