Preparing to install
Cable arrangement
When preparing for cable routing, review the electrical and fire safety regulations in your region. Strictly follow these standards and regulations.
Cable routing
We recommend reading the Selecting the installation site section carefully before beginning installation. Avoid deviations from the system project. Failure to follow basic installation rules or the recommendations in this manual may result in improper operation or loss of connection with the CIE mounted on GlandBox.
Installation
Before installation, ensure the selected location for GlandBox and the CIE meets all requirements outlined in this manual.
How to install GlandBox
- Using the bubble level, UP key, and the CIE center markings to determine the drilling points on the surface where you plan to install GlandBox.
The UP key indicates the top of the CIE, while the intersection of the two lines shows its center. The bubble level helps ensure proper inclination angle during installation.
- Prepare cable entries in advance: drill holes for cable glands on the bottom, top, or sides of the casing, or break out the perforated part on the back of GlandBox. We recommend using a Ø20 mm hole saw for plastic.
- Run cables through the back of GlandBox, if necessary.
- Secure GlandBox on a vertical surface at the selected installation location using the bundled screws. Use all fixation points. One of them is located in the perforated part above the tamper button — this point is essential to ensure the EN54 Fire Hub Jeweller tamper button is triggered in case of an attempt to detach the device.
- Disassemble the required cable glands. Run the prepared cables through them.
- Assemble the cable glands. Screw them into the pre-drilled holes in GlandBox.
