Securing the SA-ETH Ethernet card ribbon cable in
analog/addressable fire alarm cabinets
Caution:
Equipment damage hazard. This product is sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). To avoid damage, follow accepted ESD
handling procedures.
When using the BC-1 battery cabinet to house standby batteries for
analog/addressable fire alarm cabinets with an SA-ETH Ethernet card
installed, you must secure its ribbon cable to ensure that the cable
does not disconnect.
Figure 2 provides an example of how to secure the cable. If you
choose a different method, make sure the cable cannot move.
To secure the SA-ETH Ethernet card ribbon cable:
1. Open an alcohol wipe and clean the top of the ferrite on the
SA-ETH ribbon cable where a 1-inch square cable mount will be
placed. See Figure 3.
2. Clean an area on the cabinet rear wall for a second cable mount.
The area must be located so a cable tie can loop from the ferrite
cable mount to the wall cable mount.
3. Remove the adhesive paper from the backs of the cable mounts
and attach the mounts to the cleaned areas.
4. Thread a cable tie through the slot in the cable mount on the
ferrite, and then through the cable mount on the wall.
5. Loop the cable tie back and tighten it. Cut off any excess. Do not
overtighten the cable tie, to avoid pulling the cable mounts away
from their surfaces.
