2-2 Wire and Cables Installation Manual
Fire Panel Cable Specifications
The addition of a Lock requires an interface to
the Fire Panel. If future expansion of the system
is a possibility, it is recommended that you use a
Fire Panel Interface (FPI) unit.
If expansion is not possible and there are only
one or two zones, a Fire Panel Relay (with 3 sets
of dry contacts) can be used instead.
If a FPI unit is used, you will need to run a
separate 2-conductor cable from one of the zone
Controllers to the FPI unit to provide power.
You may choose to run a length of 4-conductor
and include the wire for that unit's dry contacts
in the cable as well.
Furthermore, a length of 22-gauge,
2-conductor will need to go from the FPI to each
SAP’s or GDP’s Fire Alarm indicator LED.
NOTE: Some installations may allow for the FPI
to be mounted very near a SAP. You could then
include the Fire Contacts in the same run of
cable as the SAP or GDP. This can minimize
long, multiple runs of cable considering that
there are connections between each of these
three units.
Composite Cable
Technical Specifications
NOTE: For easier installation, Accutech
Composite Cable (Part # 200355) was
replaced with Composite Cable
(Part # 200371) on June 1st, 2004. For
information on the previous composite cable,
see page A-5.
Accutech offers a “composite” cable (
Figure 2.1;
Part # 200371
) for wire runs from the Controller
to a Junction Box when the Controller is
mounted away from the zone.
At the zone, use the cable kits supplied with the
system to run from the Junction Box to the
individual components at the zone.
When wiring composite cable, use the same
color code throughout the Accutech System
(
Figure 2.1).
