Fig. 22: Connection of the rated voltage (230 V AC) and earth connections on the basic module
The mains supply must be installed in accordance with local regulations by a qualified technician. The AC
connection terminals are located on the Basic module.
Requirements
Use an appropriate mains cable, e.g. NYM 3 x 1.5 mm
2
or a cable type with similar specifications.
The installation must comply with local regulations on electrical safety.
Overvoltage fine protection is integrated into the FACP according to EN 54 and the VdS guidelines. Should
coarse protection be required this should be installed by the installer for the specific object.
The fire alarm system must be supplied from the 230 V mains through a separate isolator or an
appropriately labelled safety switch. The required mains voltage (230 V AC) is given on the panels
nameplate.
In buildings fitted with earth fault devices (FI protection), a separate device must be installed for the fire
alarm system.
The fuse for the power supply of the fire alarm system must be clearly labelled with the red marking ‘FACP’.
Observe national standards and guidelines.
The protective earth conductor of the mains cable must be connected to the corresponding screw terminal
at the fire alarm panel (ref. to section Protective and Functional earth).
AC mains voltage
The required mains voltage (230 V AC) is given on the panels nameplate.
Cable insulation
Make sure to lead all cables complete with their outer sheaths intact into the cabinet. Only remove the
insulation from those sections which are inside the cabinet!
Power supply
The fuses of the panel or external power supply units cannot prevent an unexpected fault in electrical
modules; rather, these fuses are intended to protect users and their surroundings from damage.
Therefore, never repair or bridge the fuse that is installed (e.g. T1A H/250V) or replace it with anything
other than the stated type!
