LimWarLg.p65 01/10/2000WARNING -Several different sources of power can be con-nected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sourcesof power before servicing. Control unit and associated equip-ment 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 thismanual is read and understood.CAUTION -System Reacceptance Test after SoftwareChanges. To ensure proper system operation, this productmust be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 afterany programming operation or change in site-specific soft-ware. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, ad-dition or deletion of system components, or after any modifica-tion, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.All components, circuits, system operations, or software func-tions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvert-ently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are notdirectly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 de-vices, must also be tested and proper system operation veri-fied.This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of thesystem's standby batteries and the electronic componentsmay be adversely affected by extreme temperature rangesand humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this systemand all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nomi-nal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating andindicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate morethan a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.Like all solid state electronic devices, this system mayoperate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to light-ning-induced transients. Although no system is completelyimmune from lightning transients and interferences, propergrounding will reduce susceptibility.Overhead or outsideaerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased sus-ceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Techni-cal Services Department if any problems are anticipated orencountered.Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or in-serting 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, makeall cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifi-cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-former, and printed circuit board location.Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reducedterminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminalremoval.Though designed to last many years, system componentscan fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitivecomponents. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strapbefore handling any circuits so that static charges are re-moved from the body. Use static-suppressive packagingto protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, andprogramming manuals. These instructions must be followedto avoid damage to the control panel and associatedequipment. FACP operation and reliability depend uponproper installation by authorized personnel.Adherence to the following will aid in problem-freeinstallation with long-term reliability:WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and canradiate radio frequency energy and if not installed andused in accordance with the instruction manual, maycause interference to radio communications. It hasbeen tested and found to comply with the limits for classA computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 ofFCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasonableprotection against such interference when operated in acommercial environment. Operation of this equipment ina residential area is likely to cause interference, in whichcase the user will be required to correct the interferenceat his own expense.Canadian RequirementsThis digital apparatus does not exceed the Class Alimits for radiation noise emissions from digitalapparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulationsof the Canadian Department of Communications.Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruitsradioelectriques depassant les limites applicables auxappareils numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans leReglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par leministere des Communications du Canada.FCC WarningInstallation Precautions
