Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of
power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may
be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or inter-
connecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and
understood.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% volt-
age drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate
erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced
transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning
transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce suscepti-
bility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to
an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with
the Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated
or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting
circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
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 battery, transformer, or printed
circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals. Over-tightening may damage
threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and diffi-
culty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any cir-
cuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed
from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid
damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP
operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
The equipment must be correctly programmed and installed to
suit the specific application. Please ensure correct operational
parameters are set prior to commissioning. If further details on pro-
gramming options are required, please consult the programming
manual or contact our helpful technical support personnel.

Section 3: Installation
3.1 Preparing for Installation
Choose a location for the fire alarm system that is clean, dry, and vibration-free with moderate temperature. The area should be readily
accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain it. There should be sufficient space for cabinet door(s) to open completely.
Carefully unpack the system and inspect for shipping damage. Count the number of conductors needed for all devices and find the appro-
priate knockouts.
Before installing the fire alarm system, read the following:
• Review the installation precautions at the front of this manual.
• Installers should be familiar with the standards and codes specified in Section 1.1 “Agency Approvals”.
• All wiring must comply with the National and Local codes for fire alarm systems.
• Do not draw wiring into the bottom 25 cm of the cabinet except when using a separate battery cabinet; this space is for internal
battery installation.
• Review installation instructions in Section 3.2 “Installation Checklist”.

Attaching Option Boards Installation
3.2.1 Memory-Backup Battery
The lithium battery on the CPU provides backup of the CPU’s on-board memory
during power loss. The CPU ships with an insulator to prevent the battery from
discharging. To preserve the battery, the insulating tube should be left in place as
long as possible before applying AC power.
If the insulator is not removed before applying AC power, the control panel will
show a fault situation.
This battery’s shelf-life should exceed 10 years, but if for some reason it fails, the
control panel will show a fault when powered up. To replace the lithium battery:
1. Make a full backup of all system settings to prevent loss of all programming
data.
2. Disconnect all power sources.
3. Lift clip gently using a hardware tool or screwdriver, and remove battery
from under clip (use fingers, as screwdriver could damage components)
before inserting new battery.
4. Follow system power-up procedures.
5. Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.
3.3 Attaching Option Boards
If installing option boards into a CAB650, CAB900, or U-Series backbox, mount & connect those boards at this time. This section con-
tains general instructions for mounting an option board; see the documentation that shipped with your board for any product-specific
instructions.
As described in Appendix B.6, “Laying Out Equipment in Cabinet and Chassis”, up to three option boards can be mounted in CHS-3L or
four option boards can be mounted in the CHS-4L; additional modules can be mounted in other chassis.
Mounting procedures: Chassis mount
1. Install two 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) stand-offs onto the chassis as shown in Figure 3.1.
2. Place the first option board over the stand-offs so that holes line up.
3. If no more option boards will be mounted in that position, securely fasten all stand-offs with screws (provided with module). If
mounting a second option board, attach another layer of stand-offs and repeat steps 2-3. Note: Set the switches on an option board
before mounting another layer in front of it.
4. If mounting a pair of SLC loop modules, refer to Section 3.5 “Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules” and to
Section 3.5.3 “Installing a Multi-layer Module into the Chassis”.

5. For the top (second) layer of option boards, slide the tab at the bottom of the board into the slots on the chassis, and lay the board
back onto the top of the chassis so that the studs line up with mounting holes on the option board. Securely fasten all stand-offs with
screws provided with module.
Mounting procedures: Door mount
If mounting the option board in the door behind a blank dress plate, see Figure 3.2. This dress plate is suitable for option boards, which
do not need to be visible or accessible when the door is closed.
3.4 Connecting the Network Communications Module
If networking two or more control panels (or network control annunciators), each one requires a Network Communications Module; a
wire version and a fibre version are available. The wire and fibre versions on the NCM or HS-NCM can be installed on the CPU and
power supply assembly. The preferred position is on top of the CPU assembly, as shown in Figure 3.3.
1. Mount the NCM or HS-NCM in the selected position. (See Figure 3.3)
2. Connect J1 on the CPU to J3 on the NCM or J6 on the HS-NCM using the network cable provided (P/N 75556). Do not connect two
NCMs via NUP ports (aka NUP to NUP).
3. When installing an NCM: Connect Channel A and/or Channel B as described in the NCM Installation Document.
When installing a HS-NCM: Connect Channel A to Channel B as described in the HS-NCM Installation Document.
NOTE: Mounting two pairs of loop-control and -expander modules in one chassis position may cause intermittent electrical
interference. If this occurs, move one pair to a separate chassis position.

Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules Installation
3.5 Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules
3.5.1 Mounting Instructions
Mount loop control and expander modules within the cabinet with the CPU. Typical mounting positions are in the row immediately
below the fire panel. Follow the basic chassis-mounting instructions given for option boards. Loop-expander modules are mounted first;
Loop-control modules are mounted on top of those. Alternately, loop-control and loop-expander modules can be attached to each other
and mounted as a pair to the chassis. See Figure 3.5 for connection instructions, connector locations and stand-off lengths.
If using loop control and expander modules in CHS-4L see Figure 3.6.
After all loop-control and loop-expander modules are mounted in the cabinet, connect the SLC loops to TB1 on each loop-control and
loop-expander module as shown in Figure 3.8. Daisy-chain the loop-control modules as shown in Figure 3.7. The ribbon-cable connec-
tion runs from header J7 on the CPU to header J1 (“Data in”) on the first loop-control module, from J3 (“Data out”) on that unit to J1 on
the next unit in the chain, and likewise for up to five loop-control modules. Each module should be assigned a unique SLC loop number
(see below); loop number does not need to match the module’s location in this daisy-chain.
FlashScan devices can operate in either FlashScan or, for retrofit applications, CLIP mode. Each LCM-320 or LEM-320 running a Flash-
Scan SLC can support up to 159 detectors and 159 modules. CLIP loops are limited to 99 detectors and 99 modules. These and other
capacity restrictions for CLIP mode loops are discussed in Section 3.9 “Wiring a Signalling Line Circuit (SLC)”. Refer to the SLC Wir-
ing Manual for wiring requirements and specific details.
3.5.2 Setting SLC Loop Number
Assign a unique SLC loop number to the loop control module by setting SW1 on the module to 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. The loop expander mod-
ule which is mounted behind this loop control module will be assigned the next-higher even number. For example, if the LCM-320 is set
to loop number 5, the LEM-320 mounted to it will be set to loop number 6.
3.5.3 Installing a Multi-layer Module into the Chassis
Follow the instructions illustrated in Figures 3.4 through 3.7 to install a pair of loop control/expander modules.
1. Angle the module into the chassis so that the upper end of the rear board (or boards) fits into the top slot.
2. Bring the module back down so that the lower board edges slip into the bottom slots.
3. Secure the module to the chassis with the two module screws. Tighten securely.
4. Connect the ribbon cable to the module.
NOTE: NCM hardware is not compatible with HS-NCM hardware and should not be mixed on the same network.
NOTE: Mounting two pairs of loop control and expander modules in one chassis position may cause intermittent electrical
interference. If this occurs, move one pair to a separate chassis position.
!
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 99 ADDRESSES FOR CLIP
DO NOT PROGRAM MORE THAN 99 ADDRESSES ON A CLIP-MODE SLC LOOP, BECAUSE THIS WILL
SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN AND COMPROMISE THE RESPONSE TIME OF THE PANEL TO DISPLAY
OFF-NORMAL EVENTS.

Installation Connecting Power Sources and Outputs
3.7 Connecting Power Sources and Outputs
3.7.1 Overview
Complete all mounting procedures and check all wiring before applying power. Electrical connections include the following:
•Primary power source. +24 V DC, delivered through the NPS main power supply. For cabinet placement information see
Appendix B.6 “Laying Out Equipment in Cabinet and Chassis” and the NPS Installation Sheet.
•Secondary power source. +24 V DC from batteries, installed in the control panel (or in an optional battery cabinet). Secondary
(battery) power is required to support the system during loss of primary power.
•External power sources. +24 V DC auxiliary power supplies.
•Accessory power for peripheral devices. The NPS provides +24 V DC power to devices within the same enclosure as the CPU. If
those devices have outputs, the outputs must be power-limited. Power rating is limited by the NPS primary power source, which is
+24 V DC and 5.6 Amps (NPS-5CHS) or 11.7 Amps (NPS-11CHS) max.
3.7.2 Connecting 240 V Mains Supply
CAB650/CAB900
When installing a panel housed in a CAB650 or CAB900 cabinet, terminate the 240 V mains supply directly to the fused terminal block
on the NPS-5CHS or NPS-11CHS power supply assembly.
U-series (18U, 28U, 40U)
An AFP-3030 panel in a U-series cabinet is fitted with a 240 V cable assembly terminated to the fused terminal block on the NPS-5CHS
or NPS-11CHS.
!
WARNING: REMOVE POWER WHILE CONNECTING COMPONENTS TO THE SYSTEM
REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES TO EQUIPMENT WHILE CONNECTING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. LEAVE
THE EXTERNAL, MAIN POWER BREAKER OFF UNTIL INSTALLATION OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS COMPLETE.
!
WARNING: CHECK FOR SECONDARY POWER SOURCES
SEVERAL SOURCES OF POWER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PANEL. BEFORE SERVICING THE
CONTROL PANEL, DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES OF INPUT POWER INCLUDING THE BATTERY. WHILE
ENERGISED, THE CONTROL PANEL AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT CAN BE DAMAGED BY REMOVING AND/OR
INSERTING CARDS, MODULES, OR INTERCONNECTING CABLES.
NOTE: The CPU ships with an insulator to prevents its lithium battery from discharging. To preserve the battery, this
insulator should be left in place as long as possible before applying AC power. Some installers may find it convenient to
remove the insulator before mounting all equipment.
NOTE: If using multiple power supplies with one set of batteries, refer to main power supply documentation for connection
requirements.
