NFS-3030 Installation PN 51330:C 10/28/2003 3Installation PrecautionsAdherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:WARNING - Several different sources of power can beconnected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect allsources of power before servicing. The control unit and asso-ciated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-ing cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit isenergized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate thisunit until this manual is read and understood.CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after SoftwareChanges. To ensure proper system operation, this productmust be tested in accordance with NFPA 72-1999 Chapter 7after any programming operation or change in site-specificsoftware. Reacceptance testing is required after any change,addition or deletion of system components, or after any modifi-cation, 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 50devices, must also be tested and proper system operation ver-ified.This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0°Cto 49°C (32°F to 120°F) and at a relative humidity (noncon-densing) of 85% at 30°C (86°F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at32°C ± 2°C (89.6°F ± 1.1°F) per ULC. However, the useful lifeof the system's standby batteries and the electronic compo-nents may be adversely affected by extreme temperatureranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that thissystem and all peripherals be installed in an environment witha nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi-cating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a10% 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 orinserting 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 reduced ter-minal 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 areremoved from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging toprotect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and pro-gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed toavoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installationby authorized personnel.Precau-L-4-2003.fmFCC WarningWARNING: 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 has beentested and found to comply with the limits for class Acomputing 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 A limitsfor radiation noise emissions from digital apparatus setout in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Cana-dian Department of Communications.Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radi-oelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appa-reils numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans leReglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par leministere des Communications du Canada.Acclimate Plus™, AWACS™, HARSH™, NOTI•FIRE•NET™, ONYX™, and VeriFire™ are trademarks, and FlashScan®, UniNet®, and VIEW® areregistered trademarks of NOTIFIER.
