SLC Circuits with Isolators NFPA Style 7 SLC Using an Isolating Device
5.6 NFPA Style 7 SLC Using an Isolating Device
Style 7 operation requires using a combination of isolator detector bases and isolator modules or isolator modules before and after a non-
isolator device. Flanking each device with an isolator provides fault protection to all other devices on the loop.
• T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 7 wiring configuration.
• When a non-isolator base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of devices.
• When an isolator base is used in conjunction with an isolator module, install the isolator module as shown in
Figure 10.3.
• There must be a close-nipple connection between a device and the isolator bases or modules that protect it.
NOTE: See Figure 10.3, “Wiring a B224BI Isolator Base Mounting Plate” on page 51.
