The IPDACT box must be placed to one side of the control panel. The conduit
carrying the wires between the IPDACT and the panel must be horizontally
placed.
So that it is unnecessary to supervise the wiring between the IPDACT box and
the Control Panel, the following must be fulfilled:
The circuit connections extended to additional fire alarm control unit
equipment when these
w
iring connections are intended to be made
within 20 feet (6.1 m) of each other and are enclosed within conduit or
equivalently protected against mechanical injury
.
Wiring not connected to the panel, and therefore does not have to be where
the IPDACT and the panel are installed, is supervised. This refers to PSTN
lines and Ethernet.
The electrical installation must comply with the NFPA-72 norm, appropriately
adjusted for each installation.
