3.2 Cabling Routing & Device Installation
Route the fire rated cabling (for example FP200) between
device locations in accordance with the zone map (and any
other external equipment) and back to the panel location as
indicated in the system design drawings. Each cable should be
clearly labelled with their function, i.e. Zone 1 etc.
The bases of all fire devices should be fixed (refer to the
installation guide supplied with each device) in the locations
specified in the system design drawings.
The cabling to devices should be screwed into the terminals of
the base or device (refer to the installation guide supplied with
each device). The correct polarity should be observed along the
cable routing.
The correct EOLM must be fitted at the end of each zone in
(EOLM-3 for BiWire, EOLM-1 for Conventional).
The 6K8 resistor must be fitted at the end of each
conventional sounder circuit.
