Model 5104B Installation Manual 3.5.2 151053-L8 Current Draw Worksheet Use this worksheet to determine current requirements during alarm/battery standby operation.
Installation 3.6 151053-L8 Mounting the 5104 Cabinet Read the environmental specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the 5104 cabinet. This will ensure that you select a suitable location. The panel should be accessible to main drop wiring runs. It should be mounted as close to the center of the building as possible and located within a secured area, but should be accessible for testing and service. When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster.
Model 5104B Installation Manual 3.8 3.8.1 151053-L8 AC Connection Standard Transformer Connections The AC transformer is factory mounted into the control panel and is plugged onto the control panel as shown in Figure 3-4. The ground and the primary side of the transformer should be wired as shown in Figure 3-4 by a certified electrician. Green Ground Wire AC Plug Red Transformer Wires Figure 3-4 AC Transformer Connections 3.
Installation 151053-L8 3.10 Detector Installation 3.10.1 Class A (Style D) Zones Zones 1 is for a class A (style D) zone. It is intended for use with non-powered devices such as waterflow switches. Do NOT use smoke or duct detectors on Class A zones. Each class A zone is a four-wire circuit that allows an alarm to be detected even after a single open or ground fault occurs.
Model 5104B Installation Manual 151053-L8 3.10.2 Class B (Style B) Zones Zones 2 through 6 are class B (style B) fire zones. Each class B zone consists of a two-wire circuit that will detect the occurrence of an open in the loop, but may not be able to detect an alarm after such an occurrence. The detection of an open will cause the audible trouble signal to sound and the 5104 will report the trouble to the central station. Figure 3-7 shows how to wire a class B (style B) loop.
Installation 151053-L8 3.10.3 Four-Wire Smoke Detector Connection 4-wire smoke detectors must use a power supervision module. Connect four-wire smoke detectors as shown in Figure 3-8.
Model 5104B Installation Manual 151053-L8 3.11 Supplemental Notification Appliance Installation The Supplemental notification circuit supplies a DC output that can be used to power a DC audible device during an alarm condition. Pressing the reset / silence switch will silence the output. Refer to section 6.2.7, Step 14, to program the notification circuit’s supervision properties. 3.11.
Installation 151053-L8 3.11.2 Supervised Notification Appliance Wiring When using a supervised notification device any open or shorted wiring condition will be reported as a trouble.
