Control Panel Installation
4.1 Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet
Read the environmental specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the control panel
cabinet. This will ensure that you select a suitable location.
The panel should be accessible to main drop wiring runs. It should be mounted as close to the
center of the building as possible and located within a secured area, but should be accessible
for testing and service.
Mount the control panel cabinet so it is firmly secured to the wall surface. When mounting on
concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of 3/4-inch plywood to the
concrete surface and then attach the cabinet to the plywood. Also mount any other modules to
the plywood.
The cabinet can be surface- or flush-mounted. If you will be flush-mounting the cabinet, the
hole for the enclosure should be 14.75" W x 25" H x 4" D. Do NOT flush-mount in a wall
designated as a fire break.
4.1.1 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the
conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause
water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering
the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.
4.1.2 Removing the 5820XL Assembly from the Housing
If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet for
repair, do so by unscrewing the nuts that connect the control panel assembly to the cabinet. Do
not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards. See Section 3.5 for location of the nuts.
Caution!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the unit, power should be OFF at the control panel while
installing or servicing.
