Figure 1 - FIREscape System
3 Standards
The system implements device tests, fault monitoring and reporting conformant to Australian
standards AS2293.
3.1 Cables and Cable Screen
The cable type must be shielded cable. All calculations in this guide use a 1.5mm² conductor diameter
and.
The insulation resistance between the conductors and building earth must be >1 M

. If the insulation
resistance is smaller, uncontrolled ground currents will transfer to the system and cause interference.
Problems are caused, for example, when the shield cable is terminated to metal installation boxes, which are
bonded to the building earth.
All shield cables must be connected to the control panel housing. Similarly, the shield cable at the keypad end
must be connected to connector pin S (shield). The shield cable must have continuity via the connection point of
each mounting base on the lighting lines.
The cable between the transformer and the control panel must be of the MSK 2 x 1mm type. The cable must be
less than 1m long. The cable is delivered with the control panel.
