SLC Circuits with Isolators NFPA Style 7 SLC Using Isolator Modules
4.4 NFPA Style 7 SLC Using Isolator Modules
Style 7 operation requires using isolator modules (or a combination of isolator modules and isolator
bases) before and after each 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 detector base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of the
device.
• Connections between isolator modules and the device they isolate must be “close-nippled”
conduit, within 3 feet (91.44 cm).
