Honeywell NOTIFIER IFS-2600 - Manual (Page 3)

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in
problem-free installation with long-term
reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power
can be connected to the fire alarm control
panel. Disconnect all sources of power before
servicing. Control unit and associated equipment
may be damaged by removing and/or inserting
cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the
unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service,
or operate this unit until manuals are read and
understood.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all
initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices
cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the
specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this
system may operate erratically or can be damaged
when subjected to lightning induced transients.
Although no system is completely immune from
lightning transients and interference, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or
outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to
an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning
strikes. Consult with the Technical Services
Department if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to
removing or inserting 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, make all cable entries
from the sides or rear. Before making
modifications, verify that they will not interfere with
battery, transformer, or printed circuit board
location.
Do not over tighten screw terminals. Over
tightening may damage threads, resulting in
reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty
with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive
components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so
that static charges are removed from the body.
Use static suppressive packaging to protect
electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation,
operating, and programming manuals. These
instructions must be followed to avoid damage to
the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation.
This equipment must be correctly programmed
and installed to suit the specific application.
Please ensure correct operational parameters are
set prior to commissioning. If further details on
programming options are required, please consult
the programming manual or contact our helpful
technical support personnel.
EMC WARNING:
This equipment may radiate radio frequency energy. It may also be affected by radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, may cause interference to radio
communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the Class A radiated and conducted EMI
requirements of AS/NZ 3548:1995 (including Amendments 1 & 2) as well as the EMI susceptibility
requirements of Clause C3.5 in AS4428.0:1997.
Radio communication devices should not be used in the vicinity of fire panels or associated ancillary devices
and systems.
