• Install the system in a readily accessible area with sufficient room to easily install
and maintain the control panel.

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 of the cabinet, except when using the
BB-17 or BB-55. This prevents interference between the power supply and
batteries.
