Section 4 describes the 5700 Fire Alarm Control/Communicator and related accessories installation requirements.

WARNING!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the unit, power sould be OFF at the control panel while installing or servicing.

Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet

The 5700 cabinet dimensions are:

12-3/4" W x 15-1/8" H x 3-3/8" D (32.39cm W x 38.42cm H x 8.57cm D)

The 5700 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. End-users 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 5700 to the plywood. Also mount any other desired components to the plywood.

DO NOT flush-mount the 5700 cabinet in a wall designated as a fire break.

Removing the 5700 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 into the cabinet. Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit board.
