Mounting the Taktis Fire Alarm ControlPanel
IMPORTANT! Electronic components within the panel are vulnerable to damage from electrostatic discharge.
Ground straps must be worn by installers before handling circuit boards to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge.
Mount the cabinet box on a flat, dry surface and align it so that it is at eye-level with the center of the panel GUI.
Use the cabinet box as a template and mark the position of the mounting holes while ensuring that the wall is flat
at the chosen location.
The Taktis Fire Alarm ControlPanel must be mounted in an accessible location. It must not be mounted in
another enclosure or near sources of excessive heat. The Taktis Fire Alarm ControlPanel is intended for indoor,
dry use only.
Use knockout tabs of the cabinet box to route external cabling into the panel.
IMPORTANT! Drilling additional holes in the cabinet will void the product warranty.
