CAutIoN
The wiring procedures in this manual are intended
to ensure proper functioning of the device under
normal conditions. However, because of the
many variations in wiring codes and regulations,
total compliance to these ordinances cannot be
guaranteed. Be certain that all wiring complies
with the NEC (National Electric Code) as well
as all local ordinances. If in doubt, consult the
authority having jurisdiction before wiring the
system. Installation must be done by a properly
trained person.
CAutIoN
This GP16XX Gas Panel (excluding field devices)
has been tested and approved for use in non-
hazardous areas. However, it must be properly
installed and used only under the conditions
specified within this manual and the specific
approval certificates. Any device modification,
improper installation, or use in a faulty or
incomplete setup will render warranty and product
certifications invalid.
CAutIoN
The components and devices contain no user
serviceable components. Service or repair should
never be attempted by the user. Device repair
should be performed only by the manufacturer or
trained service personnel.
LIAbILItIes
The manufacturer’s warranty for this product is
void, and all liability for proper function of the
detector is irrevocably transferred to the owner or
operator in the event that the device is serviced or
repaired by personnel not employed or authorized
by Detector Electronics Corporation, or if the
device is used in a manner not conforming to its
intended use.

installation
The panel must be securely bolted in place in a non-
hazardous area (indoors).
MOUNTING
Refer to Figure 1 for mounting dimensions, and choose
a location that allows for the specified maximum cable
length for the field devices.
CONDUIT ENTRy
To minimize water ingress and condensation, it is
recommended that conduit entries be located at the
bottom of the enclosure, if the application permits. Be
certain that all conduit entry locations comply with the
NEC, as well as all local ordinances.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
For the GP16XX power requirements, see the
"Specifications" section of this manual. Additionally,
reference the “Power Wiring” in Section 3 of the EQP
manual, 95-8533.
WIRING
Factory wiring is made to the appropriate terminals
located inside the enclosure. Electrical wiring
schematics for the GP16XX can be found in Appendix B
of this manual. Field wiring and field wiring tags are the
responsibility of the customer.
If a LON device is part of the system, it is important to
wire the device correctly through the LON wiring terminal
as shown in Figure 3. Incorrect wiring of LON devices will
generate faults that will persist until corrected. Reference
the wiring schematics in Appendix B of this manual, and
EQP manual 95-8533 for details on LON wiring.
GROUNDING
The enclosure must be electrically connected to earth
ground.
