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.

2.4.1 Main Power Supply
The NPS-5CHS or NPS-11CHS power supply provides a total of 5.6 A or 11.7 A to the CPU and has a built-in charger. During normal
operation, the NPS can recharge batteries ranging in capacity from 7 to 85 amp-hours.
See Section 3.10, “Connecting Power Sources and Outputs”, on page 25 for basic power information.
2.5 System Cabinets
The CPU and modules are installed in a CAB650, CAB900 or U-Series backbox, holding up to four rows of equipment plus batteries (up
to two 85AH batteries). Backboxes can be ordered with windowed or solid doors. The doors of the 28U and 40U can be mounted on the
left or the right side of the cabinet. A trim ring option is available for semi-flush mounting.
External measurements for each cabinet backbox are provided in Appendix B, “Cabinet and Mounting Information”, on page 40. Refer
to the CAB650, CAB900, or U-Series documentation for dimensions and door mounting specifications.
