Cable & WiringCable & Wiring
Only the cable types listed below are allowable for loop connections.
1. Enhanced Fire TUF
2. Fire TUF™
3. FP200
4. MICC
When choosing your preferred cable type, you must take note of the following cable and
wiring requirements.
1. The cable must be 2 core screened with an over sheath.
2. Maximum loop length with any of the above cables is 2KM
3. Maximum volt drop must be limited to 7 volts.
2. The conductors should be 1.5mm minimum.
3. Multicore cable should not be used for detector wiring.
4. Different loops should NEVER be run within the same cable.
5. Loop feeds and returns should never be used within the same cable.
