FireLite SLC Wiring Manual — P/N 51309:P4 9/17/2014 3Installation PrecautionsAdherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:WARNING - Several different sources of power can beconnected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect allsources of power before servicing. Control unit and associ-ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-ing cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit isenergized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate thisunit until manuals are read and understood.CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after SoftwareChanges: To ensure proper system operation, this productmust be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any pro-gramming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is required after any change, addition ordeletion of system components, or after any modification,repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All compo-nents, circuits, system operations, or software functions knownto be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition,to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected,at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affectedby the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also betested and proper system operation verified.This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49ºC/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the usefullife of the system's standby batteries and the electronic com-ponents may be adversely affected by extreme temperatureranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that thissystem and its peripherals be installed in an environment witha normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi-cating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.Like all solid state electronic devices, this system mayoperate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to light-ning induced transients. Although no system is completelyimmune from lightning transients and interference, propergrounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerialwiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibilityto nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Ser-vices Department if any problems are anticipated or encoun-tered.Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing orinserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, makeall cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifi-cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-former, or printed circuit board location.Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminalcontact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.This system contains static-sensitive components.Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before han-dling any circuits so that static charges are removed from thebody. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronicassemblies removed from the unit.Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and pro-gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed toavoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.Precau-D1-9-2005FCC WarningWARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and canradiate radio frequency energy and if not installed andused in accordance with the instruction manual maycause interference to radio communications. It has beentested and found to comply with the limits for class Acomputing devices pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 ofFCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasonableprotection against such interference when devices areoperated in a commercial environment. Operation of thisequipment in a residential area is likely to cause interfer-ence, in which case the user will be required to correctthe interference at his or her own expense.Canadian RequirementsThis digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limitsfor radiation noise emissions from digital apparatus setout in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Cana-dian Department of Communications.Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radi-oelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appa-reils numeriques de la classe A prescrites dans leReglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par leministere des Communications du Canada.LiteSpeed™ is a trademark; and FireLite® Alarms is a registered trademark of Honeywell International Inc.
