SYSTEMWIRING
Beforeconnectingthefieldwiring,checkthewiringforopens,shorts,grounds,andstrayvoltages.
WARNING
Damagemayresultifahi gh‐voltageinsulationtesterisusedonwiringwhileconnectedtothecontrolpanel
andfielddevices.

TerminatethefieldwiringtothemainboardinaccordancewiththediagramsintheSYSTEMWIRINGsection
andinthesystemdesigndocuments.

Allwiringmustbeinaccordancewithlocalcodes,National ElectricalCode,andCanadianElectricalCode.
WiringNotes
BasicsystemwiringanddetectorlocationsmustbeinaccordancewithNFPA72andCAN/ULC‐S524orother
applicablecodesandinstructionsfromtheappropriatelocalauthorityhavingjurisdiction. 
Devicesthatmaybesatisfactorilyusedwith thecontrolpanelareshownintheAppendix‐A:CompatibleDevices.
Wirereferencedataare
listedinAppendix‐B:WireSelectionGuide.
PowerLimiting
InaccordancewithNECArticle760andUL864,allpowerlimited fireprotectivesignalingconductorsmustbe
locatedatleast1/4inchawayfromallofthefollowingwiringlocatedwithinacontrolpanel:
 Electriclight
 Power
 Class1ornon‐powerlimitedfireprotectivesignalingconductors

Tomeettheserequirements,thefollowingguidelinesmustbeobservedwheninstallingmodulesandwiringto
thiscontrolpanel.
Wheninstallingpowerlimitedfieldwiring,theinstallermustcomplywithNECarticle760,whichstates:
Thefirealarmpower‐limitedcircuitsareinstalledusingTypesFPL,FPLR,FPLPorpermitted
substitutecable,
providedthesepower‐limitedcableconductorsextendingbeyondthejacketareseparatedbyaminimumof
0.25in.(6.35mm)orbyanonconductivesleeveornonconductive barrierfromallotherconductors.
If energy limited cable or equivalent is not used within the FW106/FW106C enclosure, then the following
guidelines
donotapply.Inthatcase,besuretofollowstandardwiringpractices.
WiringEnteringtheEnclosure
 Non‐PowerLimitedWiring‐Wiringenteringtheenclosurefromthebottomleft sideandrightsideofthe
enclosureisconsiderednon‐powerlimitedwiring.Wiringmustbeintheshortestrouteandmustnotoverlap
anyotherwiring.

 PowerLimitedWiring‐Wiringenteringtheenclosurefromthe
upperleftsideoftheenclosureortheright
sideisconsideredpowerlimited.Wiringmustbeintheshortestrouteandmustnotoverlapanyotherwiring.
