PXL Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel
Installation
26
STEP 13Check Field Wiring
Prior to installing devices on bases and applying power to the PXL
System, follow the
Field Wiring Checkout Procedure
(Refer to
Table 5).
On completion of installation, the System should be thoroughly
tested. Check supervision functions and the functional operation of
each external circuit, as well as the basic System control panel
functions.
STEP 14Install Field Wiring
Wiring to the PSE-1 Enclosure
In compliance with UL-864, all power limited fire protective signaling
conductors must be separated a minimum of 1/4 inch 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 the above 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 760-54, 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.
NOTE:
If power-limited wiring is not used within a PXL
enclosure,
then the following guidelines do not apply. In that case, be
sure to follow standard wiring
practices.
WIRING ENTERING ENCLOSURE
Non-Power Limited Wiring
Wiring to the following PXL module terminations is considered non-
power limited and must enter the enclosure through the knockouts
specified in Table 6 (Refer to Figure 20). Wiring between the knock-
outs specified and the module termination must be in the shortest
route and must not overlap any other wiring.
