Step 1 - Mounting The Panel; Step 2 - Pre Commissioning Checks - FireClass FC501 Guía Rápida De Instalación

STEP 1 - Mounting the panel

+
Note: The control panel is not weatherproof. Check
that the location is indoors, dry and free from ex-
cessive dust. The cover of the Fire Panel must be
able to open fully; the cover must be able to be re-
moved leaving free the inside of the Fire Panel.
Work carefully through the following steps.
1. Remove the two screws and open the control panel
cabinet. Then lift the cover from the bottom to sepa-
rate it from the backplate.
2. Place the backplate on the selected wall and mark
the points for the drill holes, using the appropriate
tubular spirit level. For a more secure mounting,
when particularly heavy batteries (12 Ah) are used
utilize all the openings provided.
!
Check for water pipes and electrical wiring be-
fore drilling.
3. Drill the holes and insert the plugs.
4. If necessary, remove the surface conduit wire knoc-
kouts.
!
The cable conduit union with the cabinet must be
secured by HB Flame Class (or higher) lock nuts.
5. Before mounting the Fire panel backplate, the
FC500IP module should be installed, if applicable,
as described in the installation manual of the
FC501 panel.
6. Pull the channelled undertrack cables through the
cable entry and for the power supply cable then,
using the anchor screws locations, secure the
backplate to the wall.
7. Make sure all debris is removed from the enclosure.

On the last page of the manual, at the bottom,
you can cut the identification label of the SW
zones, to be insert in the pocket of the User in-
terface (see Installer Manual on page 15 and
page 38).

STEP 2 - Pre Commissioning Checks

You will need to make temporary connections so that
you can test the wiring for continuity, insulation etc.
1. Run the loop wiring around the building and wire up
the detector bases according to the system
plan/design. Run any other wiring required for an-
cillary modules. Clearly label the "+" and "-" conduc-
tors. Connect these to the corresponding terminals
of the detector bases. Where screened cables have
been used and no earth connections are provided
at the device join the loop screen connections to-
gether using terminal block connector thus maintai-
ning the integrity of the loop earth. At this stage do
not wire in any isolator bases and modules or fit the
detectors, this is because these items will be dama-
ged by any high voltage insulation checks perfor-
med. Use terminal block connectors for any
temporary connections to preserve continuity. De-
tails of wiring individual devices are provided with
the items themselves. At this stage do not make the
final connections at the control panel as you will be
testing the wiring and need access to the free ends
of wire.
2. At the control panel, feed cables through the appro-
priate knockouts. Use glands as appropriate. Lea-
ve generous tails of wire.
3. Connect the loop wiring tails to a terminal block
connector. Place this loosely in the housing (in or-
der to avoid accidental connection etc. to panel be-
fore pre-checks).
4. If any conventional sounder circuits are run then
check that the correct polarity is maintained, all de-
vices have correct polarity and that the 2k7 end of
line resistor has been fitted within the last device of
the circuit.
!
WARNING -Danger of damage to equipment.
Before using a high-voltage insulation tester
ensure that no devices liable to be damaged are
fitted to the circuit. This includes isolator bases
and ancillary modules.
5. Ensure that insulation check, the cabling resistance
check and all others necessary checks comply with
the current local laws.

Note: make sure that the mains earth is connected
to the safety earth bar located in the upper of the
panel backplate.
