Installation

Each Alliance system control panel is shipped with the following hardware:
Two and three position terminal blocks that can be combined to provide a variety of terminal block configurations
Clip-in and screw-in male/female standoffs
Mounting screws
Battery wires
CAUTION You must be free of static electricity before handling circuit boards. Wear a grounding strap or touch a bare
metal surface to discharge static electricity.
To install the controller, do the following:
1. Mount the enclosure
A suitable mounting location should include easy access for wiring, good lighting, suitable access to power and earth ground, and ample
space to work. The mounting surface should be flat and dry. We do not recommend mounting metal enclosures directly onto concrete
walls. Check with local authorities to verify local codes regarding metal enclosure mounting.
Note: To maintain compliance with UL 365, UL 690, and UL 1610, the main control panel must be installed within a safe, vault,
or Extent #1 stockroom.
All of the Alliance System enclosures contain four mounting holes located in the corners of the enclosures. Use appropriate mounting
hardware to mount the enclosure to the mounting surface and the batteries to the enclosure as shown in Figure 2.
2. Install the standoffs
Before the control panel can be installed, the appropriate standoffs must be configured. Use male/female standoffs where threaded holes
are aligned with the mounting holes on the control panel and use clip-in standoffs where square holes are aligned with the mounting holes
(Figure 3).
3. Install the transformer
Mount the transformer in the enclosure using two 6/32 x 1/4" screws provided with the transformer. Install the rubber grommet into the
transformer shield and mount it to the enclosure using four 6/32 x 1/4" screws provided with the transformer.
4. Earth/chassis ground standoffs
It is important that proper grounding is provided to the enclosure. Use two male/female standoffs provided with the enclosure to secure
both the earth ground and enclosure ground wires. When securing the ground wires, use the internal tooth star washers provided with the
enclosure between the standoff and the wire connector. All connections should be tight and make a good electrical connection.
5. Install the tamper switch
Assemble the tamper switch assembly per the instructions provided with the tamper switch. Mount the switch assembly using the three 6/
32 x 1/4" screws provided.
6. Install the control panel board
Slide the terminal blocks together as shown in Figure 1. Slide the blocks over the appropriate pins indicated on the board. Mount the board
using four 6/32 x 1/4" screws along with internal star washers. To ensure proper ground, tighten screws securely. See Figure 3 for proper
mounting orientation.

7. Ferrites
To be compliant with FCC Part 15B, ferrites must be installed on each of the AC wires (Figure 2). Refer to the instructions provided with
the ferrites for mounting details.
