2.5.3 Back Box Fixing
The ID50 Series Panels (PN: 002-455-XXX) are 110mm
deep (external dimensions including fixing dimples). The
back box holds two 12V batteries, up to a maximum rating
of 12Ah each.
The back box must be fixed to the wall with screws at
three fixing locations (see drawing) using the procedure
given below.
The back box must only be installed when the panel
electronics have been removed (see Section 2.5.2,
Removing the Panel Electronics).
Wall Flatness
To prevent distortion, the back box MUST be installed on
the wall as flat as possible, i.e. with a maximum flatness
deviation between any two points of 3mm. Where the
wall is out of tolerance, use appropriate packing pieces
when installing the back box to meet the above
requirements.
Failure to comply with this requirement will result in
the misalignment of the cover’s securing screws,
which may cause difficulties in fitting the cover.
Procedure
When a suitable location has been found for installing
the panel and the panel electronics have been removed,
fix the back box to the wall as follows:
1Using a suitable-sized drilling bit - for holes to take up
to 6mm (No. 12-sized) wood screws - drill a hole at
position A in the wall. Fit a suitable-sized Rawl-plug,
or equivalent.
2Hold the back box in position at hole A (ensure the
panel is level) and mark the position of the remaining
fixing holes (B). Remove the back box and store safely.
3Drill two holes at positions B in the wall, and fit suitable-
sized Rawl-plugs, or equivalent.
4Prepare apertures (20mm knockouts) required for

2.5.4 Semi-Flush Mounting Bezel (Optional)
If semi-flush mounting of the ID50 Series Panel is
required, a recess 80mm deep and just large enough to
accommodate the back box must be cut in the wall (see
dimensions below).
All dimensions in millimetres
To fit the bezel:
1Before continuing, remove panel electronics and
batteries (if fitted) - see Section 2.5, Dismantling the
Panel.
2Offer the bezel (A), flat sideways towards you, to the
front of the back box (B) and position it so the bezel
front face (C) is lined up with the rear of the rounded
sides of the back box (D).
3With the bezel held in position, use the slotted holes
(E) on the bezel as guides and drill four appropriate
sized holes to fit M3 screws centrally in the slots.
Remove any swarf created.
4Secure the bezel using suitable M3 fixings. Ensure
the fixings are accessible from the outside of the back
box.
Note: The ID50 Series Panel back box must be fixed to
a solid vertical surface, or sub-frame inside the
recess, using its rear fixing holes. Do NOT rely on
the bezel as a means of fixing.
5Fit back box with attached bezel to the wall recess
and assemble the panel, see Section 2.6.
Before drilling the back
box, make sure that no
equipment is fitted

2.6 Assembling the Panel
With the back box secured to the wall and all external
cabling ready for termination, assemble the panel as
follows:
1Ensure that all power to the panel is isolated and
observe ALL safety and anti-static precautions when
installing the PCB assembly.
2Install all kits that require the removal of the PCB
assembly.
3Align the PCB assembly to the supporting pillars and,
using a No. 1 Posidriv screwdriver, screw the eight
(8) M3 x 8mm SEM screws into position.
4Fit the labels. They may require the application of a
low tack adhesive:
i Apply low tack adhesive to hatched area indicated.
ii Slide each label into position.
iii Apply slight pressure to the area along the bottom
edge of the fascia to ensure the labels are secure.
5Apply the mains power supply and then connect the
batteries. Check the PCB assembly operates correctly
and then isolate all power to the panel.
6At the PCB assembly:
i Noting the cable polarity, connect all cables and
secure at the correct termination blocks, see
Cables & Wiring.
ii Set all required hardware jumper configurations,
refer to the Section 4 Commissioning.
7Fit the RS485 Interface Module PCB, if applicable,
refer to Section 2.7.1 Fitting the RS485 Interface
Module PCB.
8Re-apply the mains power supply and then connect
the batteries.
9Disconnect the links at the earth fault monitoring
jumper, J19, and configuration lock, J9. Then connect
the RS232 9-way ‘D’ type Data Transfer Lead
(PN 082-173) to the panel at the RS232 connector,
PL5. Using the Support Tool, transmit the latest system
configuration to the panel.
10 Remove the lead and fit the links at J9 and J19, then
fit the cover.
Note: Connect the earth wire to the inner side wall of the
cover at the tag marked with the earth symbol.

2.7 RS485 Communications Link
The panel is capable of communicating with a maximum
of sixteen (16) repeaters (active IDR-2A or passive
IDR-2P) or mimic panels (IDR-M) (for further details
concerning the repeaters refer to 997-411, IDR-2A, -2P
& -6A Repeaters User Manual or 997-412, IDR Mimic
Installation and Commissioning Manual). The panel
is connected to the repeaters in a ‘daisy-chain’
arrangement via the RS485 Communications terminal
block, TB6, on the PCB assembly. The panel must be
fitted with the RS485 Interface Module PCB at connector
PL3 on the PCB assembly (see Section 2.7.1, Fitting
the RS485 Interface Module PCB).
The two end stations require a termination resistor to be
fitted as illustrated below.
To connect a panel to an RS485 communications link:
1Ensure the following:
i All power to the panel is isolated.
ii Access to the panel electronics is possible.
ii The interlink wire is disconnected at the batteries.
2Fit the RS485 Interface Module PCB as described in
the instructions in Section 2.7.1, Fitting the RS485
Interface Module PCB).
3Connect the RS485 communications cable to the
RS485 Communications terminal block, TB6, refer
to Section 4.4.2, RS485 Communications Link.
Note: If connecting the panel at either end of the RS485
communications link, connect a 150R termination
resistor (supplied separately) as shown below.
