Recommended Installation Procedures
for Entrotec Equipment.
The recommendations give below assume the use of CW1308 type cable and are made in conjunction
with reference to IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition 528-01 ‘Proximity to electrical services’ and
BS EN 61000-6-3:2007 & BS EN 50133-1.
Door entry & access control equipment are in ‘Band 1’ classification.
230v mains cables are in the ‘Band 2’ classification.
Other cable types can be used but the guidelines given below may or may not be relevant and other
installation procedures may need to be adapted.
All unprotected cable runs should be kept away from mains cables as the radiation from these cables
may cause the system to be erratic in operation.
In a building where the only way to wire is via an electrical intake, riser cupboard or lift shaft then metallic
trunking or conduit should be used unless there is sufficient room within the cupboards to distance
the door entry cables from the mains cables.
Mains cables should not be run in the same trunking/conduit as the door entry cables
(although segregated metallic compartment trunking is acceptable).
We recommend that where the cabling is not protected in a metallic containment system that a distance
of 1 Metre should be adopted unless other protective measures have been taken conforming to the
relevant industry regulations.
If unprotected cables are to run across mains cables then this should be at 90 degrees.
In accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations (17th Edition) please ensure that all metalwork is bonded to the
buildings earth, this includes the main control panel, all conduit (if metallic) and most importantly THE
EXTERNAL CALL PANELS, READERS & FIRE SWITCHES. A ring connector is provided in the external panels
for termination of the earth cable but this bonding is often ignored, please ensure that this connection is made.

Warning!!! Rogue cable is prevalent. Please ensure cables are pure copper and not copper clad imitations
as their high resistance will cause system malfunction. These cables may have CCS, CCA, CCAM in their
description/part number and are definitely to be avoided as are unmarked outer sheaths. These cables are
available in CW1308, RG59, CAT5/6 and mains supply formats. Entrotec will not accept any responsibility
for systems wired with incorrect cable (i.e. not to specification).
Tests. To test for CCS (copper clad steel) use a magnet, if it attracts Do Not Use. To test for CCA (copper
clad aluminium) heat core with a lighter, if aluminium melts (as its melting point is much lower than copper)
Do Not Use. CCAM (copper clad magnesium) is not widely available at present but will burn using the heat
test.
