THE CONTROL PANEL WHILE INSTALLING OR SERVICING

4.1 Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet

Read the environmental specifications in Section Section 3.2 before mounting the 6808 panel.
The 6808 cabinet overall dimensions are: 16.363" W x 26.37" H x 3.9"1 D.
The 6808 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 6808 to the plywood. Also mount any other
desired components to the plywood.
DO NOT flush-mount the 6808 cabinet in a wall designated as a fire break.
4.1.1 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter
the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from enter-
ing the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.
4.1.2 Removing the 6808 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 nuts that hold the
heat sink bracket to into the cabinet. Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.
4.1.3 Ethernet Connection
Ethernet connection is used for IP communication. For port location see Figure 3.2.
