All UL installations must comply with the requirements described below. Refer to the control unit’s installation manual for complete information.

5128 Requirements:

The 5128 must be mounted within a UL listed compatible fire control panel.

5129 Requirements:

The 5129 and the UL listed compatible fire control must be installed in the same room. All wiring between the 5129 and the UL Listed compatible fire control panel must be enclosed in conduit. The 5129 must be mounted within 20 feet of the fire control.

SECTION 3

PANEL DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure the main control power is OFF when wiring. DO NOT apply power until wiring is completed following the procedures described in this manual.

3.1Panel Description

3.1.1Phone Line Monitors

The 5128/29 dialer has two phone line monitor circuits, which detect phone line faults by monitoring their voltages. These circuits feature a 40 to 90 second delay before a line fault is reported as a trouble. When a fault is detected for longer than this amount of time, the audible trouble signal will sound, the message will be displayed on the 5230 annunciator liquid crystal display (LCD) (if used), and the trouble will be reported to the central station.

Note: To comply with industry standards, this product is equipped with line seizure. This means that any time the system’s dialer needs to communicate with the central station, it will NOT be possible to use any telephones that are on the same line(s) as the fire system. Normally this condition will last less than one minute, but could last for as long as 15 minutes under adverse telephone circuit conditions.

3.1.2Watchdog Circuit

If the 5128/29 stops running, the watchdog circuit automatically detects the problem and attempts to resume normal operation by resetting the communicator. Each time the watchdog circuit resets the system, it also sounds the trouble signal.

3.1.3Power Loss Reporting

The 5128/29 will report low AC conditions. It can monitor a contact closure AC failure output. The 5129 can also monitor the control panel’s main AC power input.

The AC report delay time is programmable. See Section 5, Step 24.

3.1.4EEPROM

The electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) is used to store specific information such as system configuration, telephone numbers, reporting format, and account numbers. The EEPROM retains the programmed information even when all electrical power is removed. It can be programmed more than 1,000 times without losing its ability to store information.

Panel Description and Installation

3.2Environmental

It is important to protect the Model 5128/29 from water. To prevent water damage, the following conditions should be AVOIDED when installing the units:

•Intended for indoor use only.

•Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation)

•Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation)

•Protect from plumbing leaks

•Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports

•Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers, production machinery)

When selecting a location to mount the Model 5128/29, the unit should be mounted where it will NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or humidity outside the range of 10%-93% at 30°C (86°F) noncondensing.

3.3Wiring

3.3.1Wiring Precautions

High and low voltage must be separated by at least one-quarter inch. See Section 3.3.6 for more information. High current input/output: AC monitoring (if monitored directly)

Low current input/output: 24 VDC power and channel (zone) wiring Audio input/output: Telephone wiring

High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid.
