FAQs
What is the SmartCell Ancillary Box used for?
The SmartCell Ancillary Box provides external housing for communications cards that work with SmartCell fire control panels. It enables communications modules to be installed separately from the main control panel, which is useful when internal panel space is limited, when communications equipment needs separate mounting for maintenance purposes, or when optimal signal reception requires external positioning of the communications hardware.
Which communications cards are compatible with the SC-63-0002-0001-99?
The ancillary box is designed to house external communications cards used with SmartCell CIE (Control and Indicating Equipment) fire control panels. This typically includes communications modules that provide remote monitoring capabilities, SMS notifications, email alerts, Ethernet connectivity and GSM/GPRS connections for the SmartCell wireless fire detection system. Users should verify specific compatibility with their communications card model and SmartCell panel configuration.
Where should the SmartCell Ancillary Box be installed?
The ancillary box can be installed in various locations depending on installation requirements, typically near the main SmartCell control panel or in areas that provide optimal signal reception for communications modules. The compact dimensions of 275mm × 150mm × 78.5mm allow for flexible mounting options in equipment rooms, service areas or locations with easy maintenance access. Installation should consider cable routing between the ancillary box and the main control panel, as well as environmental factors that might affect communications equipment.
Is the SmartCell Ancillary Box weatherproof for outdoor installation?
The product documentation does not specify outdoor or weatherproof ratings for the SC-63-0002-0001-99. As with most fire alarm system ancillary equipment, the enclosure is typically designed for indoor installation in protected environments. For installations requiring outdoor mounting of communications equipment, users should consult with Kidde Global Solutions or their authorized distributor to confirm environmental ratings and suitability, or consider alternative weatherproof enclosure solutions approved for use with SmartCell systems.
Can the ancillary box be retrofitted to existing SmartCell installations?
Yes, the SmartCell Ancillary Box can be added to existing SmartCell fire control panel installations when external housing for communications cards becomes necessary. This makes it an ideal solution for system upgrades where remote monitoring capabilities are being added to existing installations, or when reconfiguration requires repositioning of communications modules outside the main control panel enclosure. Installation should be performed by qualified fire alarm technicians familiar with SmartCell system requirements.
