3.5 Central housing
1. Remove the central housing of the FACP IQ8Control from the box.
The cover contact and both connecting cables for the rechargeable batteries have already been attached to
the Basic module.
2. Pull the ribbon cable of the operating module and of the built-in printer (if present) off the connectors of the
Basic module.
3. Remove the four connecting screws between the base plate and the housing frame which were screwed in
for transport.
4. The housing door (operating module and variants) has already been connected to the housing frame at the
factory. To detach the housing door from the housing frame, pull out both retaining pins of the housing door
holder.
5. The housing must be mounted on a stable, clean and dry wall surface without mechanical stress. The
function of the snap-type connection for the housing door can be impaired if the housing is not correctly
mounted.
Only flat-head screws and dowels with a diameter of 8 mm should be used to secure the central unit’s
housing. Here, make sure that the screw head fits into the hole of the wall compensation element and does
not project.
6. To compensate for slight wall unevenness, you can screw the four wall compensation pieces of the base
plate in or out. The central unit’s additional pack contains a special spanner for the adjusting the wall
compensation elements.
The three unused fastening points between the base plate and the housing frame are not necessary on the
FACP IQ8Control C/M. This fastening is intended for a different housing use.
Danger - Electrical shock !
Disconnect all power from the panel before carrying out any installation work. The panel may only be
operated while the cabinet is closed. Operation is not allowed while the cabinet is open.
Risk of short circuit
All voltage and signal lines connected to the Basic module must be secured to prevent slipping by
using a suitable attachment materials such as plastic cable binders. Make sure the voltage cable will
not move and touch the signal lines (SELV). Work on the FACP IQ8Control may only be carried out
when it is de-energised (mains and emergency power supply).
