8.1.1CABINET INSTALLATION

The location of the F3200 FIP is chosen by the Fire Authority and building owner (or owner’s representative) in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1670.1.

If the cardframe needs to be made removable to allow fitting/removing

of large batteries, this should be done prior to cabinet installation. (Refer to Section 8.1.2).

The cabinet is normally fixed to a wall with four 6 mm screws or bolts. The drilling details are shown in Fig 8.1.1.

The following conditions are required:

1.Dry Area, moderate ambient temperature, 45° C absolute maximum.

2.Not exposed to direct sunlight.

3.Not subject to outdoor conditions without suitable protection.

i.Allow for the door to open at least 145° .

ii.Prevent water entering the cabinet - seal unused knockouts and any top cable entries. Preferably use bottom cable entry, with cables going down 100 mm below cabinet before rising.

It should not be necessary to drill within the cabinet, but if drilling or filing is required, remove the PCBs first. Clean out all swarf before replacing the PCBs.
