Determine the Panel Location
Before permanently mounting the panel, determine the location using the
following guidelines:
• To help reduce wire run lengths and labor, centrally locate the panel with
relation to detection devices whenever possible.
• Avoid running wires parallel with electrical wiring or fixtures, such as
fluorescent lighting, to prevent wire runs from picking up electrical noise.
• Mount the panel at a comfortable working height (about 45 to 55 inches from
the floor to the bottom of the panel, as shown in Figure 1 below).
• Leave space to the left and right of the panel for wiring, phone jack, and
optional modules.
• For installations that include wireless sensors, allow at least 10 inches above
the panel cabinet for the antenna.
• Allow at least 24 inches in front of the panel for opening the panel door.

Note
: A) Class 2, Class 3, and power-limited fire alarm circuits must be installed
using FPL, FPLR, FPLP, or substitute cable permitted by the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70. Wire that extends beyond the cable jacket must be
separated from all other conductors by a minimum of 1/4-inch or by a
nonconductive barrier.
