CHAPTER 3: CABINET INSTALLATION
Step 1 Remove Chassis from Cabinet
The chassis is included in every PFC-9000 series fire alarm panel when it leaves the factory. It is recommended that the
chassis be removed from the cabinet before installing the cabinet to reduce the possibility of foreign debris being introduced
on the circuit boards. The chassis is connected to the cabinet using five #8-32 hex nuts. The main body of the chassis
connects in each of the four corners and the fifth nut connects to a ground terminal. The furthest right removable terminal
block must be removed to install the top right nut.
Step 2 Install Cabinet
Install the cabinet in either a surface or flush mount orientation. Allow necessary clearance for all necessary field wiring.
The PFC-9000 cabinet has knockouts located on the sides and top for bringing the wire to and from the panel. The different
wiring should be isolated to prevent electrical noise and induced voltages. The wiring should be separated by the type of
circuit: AC voltage input, notification circuits, signalling line circuit, telephone communication, annunciator communication
and relays. Failure to do so could increase the chances of a false alarm.
Step 3 Power Connections
· Connect panel ground terminal to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe)
· With the dedicated circuit breaker in the OFF position, connect the black (hot) to the line (L), the white to the neutral (N)
and the green to the ground (G).
