8.1 INSTALLATION
8.1.1 CABINET INSTALLATION
The location of the F3200 FIP is chosen by the Fire Authority and building owner (or owner’s
representative) in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1670.1.
If the cardframe needs to be made removable to allow fitting/removing
of large batteries, this should be done
prior
to cabinet installation. (Refer to Section
8.1.2).
The cabinet is normally fixed to a wall with four 6 mm screws or bolts. The drilling details are
shown in Fig 8.1.1.
The following conditions are required:
1. Dry Area, moderate ambient temperature, 45°C absolute maximum.
2. Not exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Not subject to outdoor conditions without suitable protection.
4. The LCD should be at average eye level and must not be higher than1850 mm or
lower than 750 mm above floor level (see Fig 8.1.1).
5. Clear access and viewing for Firefighters and operators.
6. At least 1 metre free space should be provided in front of and on sides of the FIP for
installation and maintenance.
7. Must not be installed in hazardous areas as defined in AS3000.
8. If recessed into a wall:
i. Allow for the door to open at least 145°.
ii. Prevent water entering the cabinet - seal unused knockouts and any top cable
entries. Preferably use bottom cable entry, with cables going down 100 mm
below cabinet before rising.
It should not be necessary to drill within the cabinet, but if drilling or filing is
required, remove the PCBs first.
Clean
out all swarf before replacing the PCBs.
Use antistatic precautions when handling the PCBs.
