1 General / Application
This installation manual describes how to assemble the housing, install within a building and how to install a fire
alarm system IQ8Control panel. The instructions form part of the fire alarm system (FAS) and should be kept in
an accessible location in the immediate vicinity of the fire alarm control panel (FACP).
The information and technical specifications detailed in this documentation should enable an experienced fire
alarm specialist to assemble and install the FACP quickly and safely. Relevant knowledge, skills and qualifications
are required. These instructions must be read through carefully and understood before any work is commenced.
Proper assembly and installation, as well as safe working conditions, require compliance with all specified safety
and operating information in these instructions, as well as a correctly planned FAS that conforms to the applicable
standards and guidelines.
All other applicable documentation must be taken into consideration when designing, commissioning and
servicing the fire alarm system.
Object-specific design and planning documents for the FAS and local requirements must be observed.

FAS installer
Installers are a qualified electricians who, due to their professional training, are adequately qualified to install fire
alarm systems and are also familiar with the requirements of hazard alarm systems and telecommunications.
The FAS installer installing this system understands and implements the planning and project specifications for
this fire alarm system and assesses the implementation of the individual work steps and recognises potential
hazards.
System operator / trained person
A 'trained person' is an individual that has been trained in the performance of the operations required to operate
a fire alarm system (FAS) or hazard alarm system (HAS). This training must have been provided by a specialist.
The trained person must be able to independently operate the system's basic functions, able to ascertain that the
system is working properly, and initiate remedial action in case of irregularities or defects.

2 Standards and guidelines
The general technical rules must be observed when installing fire alarm systems. Any deviation from those rules
is only admissible if the same degree of safety can be ensured with different means. Installations within the
European Community are primarily subject to all EU regulations defining the current standards for security
systems.
In Germany, systems are considered to be in compliance with the general technical rules or the standards of the
EU for security systems if they meet the technical guidelines of the VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker,
Association of German Electrical Engineers). They may also be considered to be in compliance with the standards
of the EU for security systems if they meet the technical guidelines of another comparable institution within the
European Community which have been accepted in accordance with directive on low-voltage systems
(2006/95/EG). The same must be applied for all applications of additional, product relating guidelines, e.g. EMI-
Guideline 2004/108/EG and the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011.
These are examples:
Standards of the DIN EN 54 “Fire alarm systems“, particulary DIN EN 54-2 „Fire alarm control panels" and
DIN EN 54-4 „Power supply units".
Standards of the DIN VDE 0100 issue, particulary DIN EN 0100-410 „Installation of high-voltage sytems with
rated voltage up to 1000 V“, DIN VDE 100-718, Install low voltage systems – Requirements for sites, rooms
and special systems and DIN VDE 0105-100 „Operation of electrical system: General commitments“.
Standards of the DIN EN 62305 or DIN VDE 0185-305 issue, particulary DIN VDE 0185-305-1 „Lightning
protection: General standards. DIN VDE 0185-305-2 „Risk-Management“, DIN VDE 0185-305-3 „Protection
of buildings and persons“ and DIN VDE 0185-305-4 „Eletrical and electronic systems in buildings“.
DIN VDE 0701-1 „Maintenance, Modification and Test of electrical devices: General commitments“.
Standards of the DlN VDE 0800 issue, particulary DIN VDE 0800-2 „General commitments, Requirements
and Tests for system security“, DIN VDE 0800-1 „Communication systems, Earthing and potential
compensation“, DIN VDE 0800-174-2 “Information systems – design and installation of communication
cabling in buildings“.
DIN VDE 0815 „Cables for communication and information systems“.
Standards of the DIN VDE 0833 issue Hazard alarm systems for Fire, Intruder and Hold-up, particulary DIN
VDE 0833-1 „General commitments“, DIN VDE 0833-2 „Commitments for fire alarm systems (FAS)“, DIN VDE
0833-3 „Commitments for Intruder and Hold-up systems“ and DIN VDE 0833-4 „Commitments for Voice alarm
systems within fire protection“.
Standards of the DIN VDE 0845 issue, particulary DIN VDE 0845-1 „Protection of Communication systems
against Lightning, electrostatic charge and overvoltage from high-voltage systems; Actions to avoid over-
voltage“.
DIN 14675 Fire alarm systems - mounting and operation.
These technical guidelines must be observed within the European Community. The VDE guidelines must be
observed within Germany. The requirements of the local fire departments and competent authorities must also be
complied with. In other countries (e.g. U.S.A.: NFPA and UL requirements), the relevant national standards,
guidelines and legislation must be observed.
In addition to the above, the guidelines of the German VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH (VdS) may apply for
systems installed in Germany.
VdS 2046 Safety rules for electrical power systems with voltages up to 1000 V.
VdS 2015 Electrical appliances and systems – rules for damage prevention.
VdS 2095 Design and installation of fire alarm systems.
VdS 2833 Overvoltage protection measures for Hazard Alarm Systems.
Observe national and local building law requirements and regulations (building regulations).

3 Transport damage inspection
Please check all of the packaging and components for damage before commencing the assembly and installation
work. Do not assemble or install visibly damaged modules and components!

1. The cover contact and both connecting cables for the rechargeable batteries have already been attached to
the Basic module.
2. Pull the ribbon cable of the operating module off the connectors of the Basic module.
3. Remove the four connecting screws between the base plate and the housing frame which were screwed in
for transport.
4. The housing door (operating module and variants) has already been connected to the housing frame at the
factory. To detach the housing door from the housing frame, pull out both retaining pins of the housing door
holder.
5. The housing must be mounted on a stable, clean and dry wall surface without mechanical stress. The
function of the snap-type connection for the housing door can be impaired if the housing is not correctly
mounted.
Only flat-head screws and dowels with a diameter of 8 mm should be used to secure the central unit’s
housing. Here, make sure that the screw head fits into the hole of the wall compensation element and does
not project.
6. To compensate for slight wall unevenness, you can screw the four wall compensation pieces of the base
plate in or out. The additional pack contains a special spanner for the adjusting the wall compensation
elements.
No further fastening points are required between the base plate and the housing frame.
Danger - Electrical shock !
Disconnect all power from the panel before carrying out any installation work. The panel may only be
operated while the cabinet is closed. Operation is not allowed while the cabinet is open.
Risk of short circuit
All voltage and signal lines connected to the Basic module must be secured to prevent slipping by
using a suitable attachment materials such as plastic cable binders. Make sure the voltage cable will
not move and touch the signal lines (SELV). Work on the FACP IQ8Control may only be carried out
when it is de-energised (mains and emergency power supply).
