Installing the Panel To install the unit, follow these 12 steps, and refer to the proper sections for more information. 1. Create System Diagram: Prepare a carefully laid out drawing of the complete wiring system hookup. Maintain this drawing as a permanent record of the system application and include any future modifications. Note: “As-built” drawings and this manual should be available at all times to verify agreement between the connected equipment and the drawings. 2.

Optional Remote Notification Disconnect Applies to LEM optional module. Disconnects system from remote sites. When activated, the trip circuit fault LED and system fault condition will exist and remain until the switch is returned to the normal position. Note: Notify the local fire department and the receiving station before disconnecting the LEM from the system. Table 2.

Do not overlook adequate lightning protection. Lightning damage commonly occurs from three sources: 1. Through alarm loop wiring 2. Through AC power inputs 3. Through earth ground or power ground connections The 1500 System has substantial lightning protection incorporated in all three areas. However, proper lightning protection for AC power must be accomplished where the wire enters the building.
Sprinkler System Waterflow and Supervisory Devices Normally open contact type waterflow alarm devices may be connected, along with conventional manual alarm stations or heat detectors. All zones to which waterflow alarm devices are connected may be programmed so that the system alarm indicating devices cannot be silenced. See Programming. Supervisory signals for status reporting of waterflow control valves, supplies, etc. must be connected to a separate zone, and programmed for supervisory status.

Connecting Optional Remote Notification Devices 1500-RA-5A Note: When using remote annunciators other than the ESL 1500-RA-5A, be sure all circuits have a series resistance of at least 1K ohm. Maximum current should be 15mA per zone. The control unit can properly power one remote annunciator. When a remote annunciator is used, both the BMB and ZEM must be programmed to provide supervision. See Programming.
Programming BMB Programming All programming selections are controlled by switches located in the lower right corner of the BMB. Table 5 shows default (factory) prgramming along with a description of each feature. Table 5. BMB Programming Features Switch Factory # Position Feature Description 8,7,6 off not used not used 5 off zone 2 supervisory Disables fire alarm signal and provides distinctive audible and visual supervisory signals. Must also program ZEM zone 2 switches 3, 4, 5, & 6.
Testing and System Checkout Following installation and programming of the unit, a complete test of the entire system must be conducted to assure proper operation. NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code should serve as the guide. Follow the recommended procedures, restoring all switches and wiring to normal before proceeding to the next step. Notify all building personnel and the fire department and monitoring facilities before and after system testing.
