• To help reduce wire run lengths and labor, centrally locate the panel with relation to detection devices whenever possible. • Avoid running wires parallel with electrical wiring or fixtures, such as fluorescent lighting, to prevent wire runs from picking up electrical noise. • Mount the panel at a comfortable working height (about 45 to 55 inches from the floor to the bottom of the panel, as shown in Figure 1). • Leave space to the left and right of the panel for wiring, phone jack, and optional modules. • For installations that include wireless sensors, allow at least 10 inches above the panel cabinet for the antenna. • Allow at least 24 inches in front of the panel for opening the panel door.

•
To help reduce wire run lengths and labor, centrally locate the panel with relation to detection
devices whenever possible.
•
Avoid running wires parallel with electrical wiring or fixtures, such as fluorescent lighting, to
prevent wire runs from picking up electrical noise.
•
Mount the panel at a comfortable working height (about 45 to 55 inches from the floor to the
bottom of the panel, as shown in Figure 1).
•
Leave space to the left and right of the panel for wiring, phone jack, and optional modules.
•
For installations that include wireless sensors, allow at least 10 inches above the panel cabi-
net for the antenna.
•
Allow at least 24 inches in front of the panel for opening the panel door.

Note
A) Class 2, Class 3, and
power-limited fire alarm cir-
cuits must be installed using
FPL, FPLR, FPLP, or substi-
tute cable permitted by the
National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70. Wire that
extends beyond the cable
jacket must be separated
from all other conductors by
a minimum of 1/4-inch or by
a nonconductive barrier.
OR
(B) Class 2, Class 3, and
power-limited fire alarm cir-
cuit conductors must be
installed as Class 1 or higher
circuits.
Table 1 describes panel voltage/current output ranges. See Appendix A for maximum and
standby device current draw.
Total system wire allowed varies depending on devices powered by the panel, wire length
between devices and the panel, and the combined wire length of all devices.
Table 2 describes the maximum wire length allowed between compatible devices and the panel.
