INSTALLATION MANUAL, ISSUE 3.0 – 16/08/10

4. Installation

Following the Site Survey, System Control Panels should be positioned as stated

considering:-

The recommended minimum distance between metal objects or equipment for the aerial

is 400mm.

The recommended minimum distance to any electrical equipment is 2 metres, (See

Figure 1).

5. Control Panel - Removing Items before Mounting

Before mounting the unit, it is necessary that certain items be removed, so as to prevent

the risk of damage to the internal circuitry.

Remove the Door Assembly from the Back Box. To achieve this, disconnect the Ribbon

Cables and Earth links, loosen the hinge screws on the Back Box side of the hinge and

pull the door away. Ensure that the Door Assembly is suitably stored and that ESD

precautions are observed (see Figure 2).

Establish the required cable entries. Knockouts should be made prior to fixing the Back

Box to the wall.

Ensure that the Back Box is free of swarf and other debris.

6. Mounting the Enclosure to a Wall

It is recommended that the Control Panel be mounted in accordance with the site survey

so that the display is at eye level.

Achieve this firstly by securing it to the wall, via the single fixing “keyhole”, located in

the top centre of the box. The box should be hung and levelled, allowing holes to be

marked out for each of the four remaining mounting holes (shown on figure 3).

Once the Back Box is fitted to the wall, all external cabling should be run to the box,

including the provision of an unswitched 240 volt supply. The mains cable should be

dressed away from the main radio PCB and should be as short as possible.

7. Replacing Items after Mounting

Replace the Door assembly by reversing the steps given in Section 5, ensuring that all

electrical connections, including the earth leads, are made.

Ensure that both UHF and VHF aerials are fitted to the top of the Control Panel. To

ensure correct fitment, the aerial identified with the coloured band must be fitted to the

connector identified with the coloured band. If high gain aerials are to be used they must

be positioned in accordance with the site survey.
