4.0 Installation Guide

The device may be surface or flush mounted (no extra bezel is required when flush mounting).

The 6000/LOOP/REPEATER front panel is fully enclosed within a sealed housing. This housing must

never be opened. If the device requires repair it must be returned to Protec.

This equipment is not guaranteed unless installed and commissioned by a suitably trained

person in accordance with current national standards.

The device must be located internally in an area that is not subject to dampness, direct

sunlight, extremes of temperature or physical abuse.

4.1 Packaging Contents

 1x 6000/LOOP/REPEATER Device

 3x No.8-10-12 Wall Plugs

 3x No.8 x 1.5" Round Head Pozi-Drive Woodscrews

 2x Opening Tools

 2x 2.2mm x 10mm Pan-Head T6 Plas Tech Locking Screws

4.2 Front Panel Removal

Carefully push the Opening Tools into the clasps on the sides of the enclosure, an audible click should

be heard when the clasps disengage. Gently pull the assembly out of the back box, whilst being

cautious of the ribbon cable located behind. Carefully pull the ribbon cable, by the connector, from the

terminal board, leaving it connected to the front panel.

Place the front panel in a

safe area, such as the

original packaging, until it

is required.

Ensure both clasps are disengaged before

the front panel is pulled from the back box.

Carefully remove the assembly to avoid

damage to the ribbon cable.

4.3 Mounting

 Use the installation template, provided at the end of the document, to mark out the fixing

points, then drill and plug the holes as marked.

 Using a 20mm hole-saw, drill the required entry points in the back box. Feed the Loop wiring

into the enclosure using suitable glands.

 Strip the cable sheaths at the entrance to the box, only run individual conductors within the

box.

 Carefully screw the back box to the fixing points, taking care not to overtighten the screws.

 Terminate the conductors to the correct terminals.

 Set the loop continuity switch on the terminal board to the commissioning position whilst the

front panel is removed.

Only use the cable entry

points provided.

Ensure conductors are as flat to the back

box as possible, whilst respecting the

cable manufacturer’s recommended

minimum bend radius.
