Installation and user manual for the
BiWire / Conventional Repeater
Connecting the Mains Supply
The mains supply should be exclusive to the fire alarm as detailed
in BS5839 . A plug and socket is not satisfactory .
We recommend that a switched double pole fused spur unit is
used for the sole use of the fire alarm system and should be
clearly marked with:
FIRE ALARM DO NOT SWITCH OFF
Before connecting the fused spur to the PSE, slide the ferrite core
(supplied with the panel) over the cable as shown in Figure 21 .
Connect the fused spur to the input marked MAINS on the PSE,
observing correct wiring regulations .
