Site all equipment indoors in well-lit areas, free from obstruction. If background noise exceeds 40 dB, use
an acoustic hood. Site control unit(s) in the control room or lobby, 1.4 metre above final floor level (FFL).
Fit Type A (fire telephone) outstations in fire fighting lobbies and fire access points, 1.3 to 1.4 metres
above FFL. Fit type B (disabled refuge) outstations in disabled refuges, 0.9 to 1.0 metre above FFL.
ECU-8S
(optional)
Mounting
Fixed wiring, 2-core and earth/CPC
cable (0.75 mm2 to 2.5 mm2) fed
from switched spur, fused at 3 amps.
Description

Location
Outstation lines of 2-core (1.0 to
1.5 mm2) and earth/CPC enhanced
cable, up to 1 km in length.

Remove base PCBs before first fix installation to protect them and expose the base mounting holes.
Wall mount the control units, either surface or semi-flush. Fix the base securely onto a wall using No.8
round-head, or countersunk screws. If an optional ECU-8S is fitted make the interconnections to the
ECU-8 using supplied looms and short length of steel conduit (25 mm OD, max. length 60 mm).
3A fused spur
After mounting, remove any dust/swarf and re-install base PCBs. Ensure all connecting looms are refitted
correctly; ECU-8 internal connections are B to B, C to C. ECU-8 to ECU-8S (optional) is A to A, D to B.
Wiring and Cable Entry
Pg7
See Fig 1 above for cable types. Install all wiring in accordance with the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regs (BS 7671), or relevant national
standards. Use enhanced fire-rated cables from control equipment to outstations and suitable 2-core cable to NC951 system.

Test Extension Lines
Pg19
Test all lines for faults before terminating extension lines to the ECU-8/ECU-8S. In addition, test outstation lines using a FITT telephone line
tester (see component list above).
CAUTION: DO NOT use an Insulation Resistance Tester (Megger) with any devices connected as they will be destroyed.
Fit Outstations & NC951 Interface
Pg18
See Fig 1 above for cable types. Max. recommended cable distance to outstations is 1 km, beyond which audio quality may degrade. For wiring
and connection details refer to Type A outstation instructions (Doc. No. DAU0000001) and Type B outstation instructions (Doc. No. DAU0302000).
Connect Extension Lines to the Control Equipment
Pg19
Do not connect extension lines to the ECU-8, or optional ECU-8S, until they have been tested, fault-free and suitable cable glands fitted.
Connect extension lines directly to the Exchange PCB (see Fig 2 left). Connect screens to the earth terminal in the back of the enclosure.

At the ECU-8, with the handset on-hook select the ‘Edit Phonebook’ option by following the flow chart below. With an operator at the ECU-8, go to
each outstation in turn and make a call. At the ECU-8 lift the handset and press the ACCEPT button. The outstation’s channel is opened for speech and
automatically selected for editing. Check audio quality of the line and inform the operator at the ECU-8 your position. They can edit the outstation
name directly (see Naming Extensions below). Repeat this processEfor all remaining outstations but to avoid confusion only call in from one outstation
at a time. Outstations can also be manually named if you are sure of its location.
