Section 4
Control Panel Installation
4.1 Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet
Read the environmental specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the 5600
panel.
The 5600 cabinet dimensions are:
12-3/4” W x 15-1/8” H x 3-3/8” D (32.39 cm W x 38.42 cm H x 8.57 cm D).
The 5600 panel should be located within a secured area, where it is accessible to
main drop wiring runs and where it can be easily tested and serviced. Building
occupants are responsible for maintaining the panel should be able to hear alarms
and troubles. When selecting a location, keep in mind that the panel itself is the main
source of alarm and trouble annunciation.
When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When
mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of 3/4
inch plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the 5600 to the plywood. Also
mount any other desired components to the plywood.
DO NOT flush-mount the 5600 cabinet.
4.1.1 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet
through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are
most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to
prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under
warranty.
4.1.2 Removing the 5600 Assembly from the Housing
If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet
for repair, do so by removing the screws that hold the control panel in to the cabinet.
Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.
Caution!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the unit, power should be OFF at the control
panel while installing or servicing.
