Installation Procedure Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: Installation Precautions - Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.

FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation. While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability - can provide early warning of a developing fire.
