4.4 Preparing the System Wiring Diagram

 Keep a copy of the system-wiring diagram with the SP40S manual as a permanent record of the system

wiring.

4.4.1 Unpacking and Taking Inventory

Carefully unpack the panel and make sure each item described on the packing slip is present and undamaged.

1. Check the exterior of the shipping container(s) for any exterior damage, then the interior of the

container(s).

2. Notify both the carrier and Cooper Notification immediately on the straight bill of lading (supplied by

the carrier) if any damage is found both verbally and in writing; you may also request an inspection by

the carrier. Such requests must usually be made within a specified time period from date of shipment.

Cooper Notification is not responsible for damage to equipment occurring during shipping, and only

furnishes replacement parts against a written purchase order. It is the customer’s responsibility to file a

claim with the carrier.

3. Follow any instructions Cooper Notification and/or the carrier may supply about possible damage.

4. If no damage is found, compare the contents of the Inventory List against the contents of the shipping

container(s), to ensure receipt of all components.

5. Save all shipping materials (any “bubble wrap” or plastic) for possible future use. Store in a safe, dry

location.

4.4.2 Locating the Panel

Mount the panel in a location within the environmental limits specified in the latest UL Standard 864 for

indoor/dry control panels. DO NOT locate the panel in a hazardous area.

CAUTION: To comply with the latest NFPA and UL requirements for interconnection of fire

alarm control equipment, locate the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System in

the same room, and within 20 feet of, a listed compatible fire alarm control panel. Enclose the

wiring in conduit and connect it properly to such control panel.

1. See Figure 4-2 for the panel mounting hole layout.

2. Mark and drill mounting holes for appropriate screws and anchors to ensure secure mounting to the type

of surface at the selected location.

3. Prevent dust and dirt contamination of the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System

during installation. This contamination can interfere with the operation and reduce the life of the

equipment.

4. Open the door and remove the dead front panel, then mount the SP40S Multi-Function Facility

Communication System at the selected location. Use care to avoid damage to the module during

installation. Do not apply excessive pressure to the PC board or its components, including field wiring

terminals and connectors.
