Cabling from PC232-S4-X
All cabling must be in conformance with the National Electric Code, NFPA 70
*
. Observe all
local codes for specific wiring and conduit requirements. Construct cabling using good
wiring practices. All cables should be long enough to allow for service loops at their
terminations within the terminal enclosure. This allows the installer to conveniently wire the
cable connectors and plug them into the mating connectors.
* For Canadian installations, refer to the Canadian Electric Code, C22.1.
Take into account the following requirements for cable routing:
•
Route power lines separately from data lines. These lines can be a standard
3-wire stranded #16 AWG UL listed/CSA approved line cord used with UL listed/CSA
approved strain relief.
•
All low-level input cables (system data, alarm cables, etc.) must be shielded types and
should be in grounded conduit or at least two feet from AC power, fluorescent lights, or
other high-energy sources.
Table 2 lists the connectors in the kit supplied with one PC232-S4-X current loop converter,
and Table 3 lists the connectors supplied with two PC232-S4-X converters. Use these
connectors to construct the cables.
