associated equipment may be damaged by
removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or
interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do
not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until
this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software
Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this
product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72
after any programming operation or change in site-
specific software. Reacceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system
components, or after any modification, repair or
adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All
components, circuits, system operations, or software
functions known to be affected by a change must be
100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other
operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10%
of initiating devices that are not directly affected by
the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must
also be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for indoor dry
operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative
humidity of 93 ±2% RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2°

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and Indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop
from the specified device voltage.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
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 interferences, proper grounding will reduce
susceptibility. 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, and printed circuit board
location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components
can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive
components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before
handling any circuits 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 programming
manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the
control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and
reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.
