Section 2 Installation
2.1 Preparing for Installation
2.1.1 Unpacking the System
Carefully unpack the system and inspect for shipping damage.
Select a location for the control panel in a clean, dry, vibration-free area with moderate
temperature.
2.1.2 Installation Notes
Before installing the fire alarm system, read the following:
• Install the system in a readily accessible area with sufficient room to easily install
and maintain the control panel.
• Locate the top of the cabinet approximately 60 inches (1.524 m) above the floor
with the hinge mounting on the left.
• Count the number of conductors needed for all devices and find the appropriate
knockouts.
• Review the installation precautions at the front of this manual.
• All wiring must comply with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm
systems.
• Do not draw wiring into the bottom 9 inches (22.86 cm) of the cabinet, except
when using the BB-17. This prevents interference between the power supply and
batteries.
2.1.3 Standards and Codes
In addition, installers should be familiar with the following standards:
• NEC Article 300 Wiring Methods.
• NEC Article 760 Fire Protective Signaling Systems.
• Applicable Local and State Building Codes.
• Requirements of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
