Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
This equipment must be installed in accordance with these instructions and the appropriate
national, regional and local regulations specific to the country and location of the installation.
Consult with the appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for confirmation of the
requirements.
The FACP shall only be installed and serviced by specially trained engineers.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit may be damaged by removing
and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the
enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making
modifications, verify that they will not interfere with batteries and printed circuit board location.
