Suitability

The ViLX-IPA is a Type A outstation as defined in BS5839-9:2011, and is designed to be used by the trained staff (such as fire marshals and stewards) in outdoor environments. Type A outstations should be placed in fire telephone locations as described in Building Regulations Approved Document B and BS9999:2017, or in stewards telephone locations as described in the FSADC deisign guide.

Mounting the Unit

The ViLX-IPA unit should be mounted at a height of 1300mm to 1400mm from the centre line to the finished floor level to comply with the requirements of BS5839pt9:2011 When drilling any holes for cable access ensure any bare metal is treated with an antioxidant primer, and all cable glands meet IP65 and are correctly tightened. Ensure all mounting holes have the screw seals correctly fitted, failure to ensure this will compromise the IP rating of the enclosure.
