CABLE TERMINATIONS
This section provides guidance on where to bring cables into the INSPIRE E10/E15 Control Panel enclosure for
ease of termination. Ensure the following requirements are met:
01 The mains supply must be brought into the INSPIRE E10/E15 Control panel such that the cable path to the
Mains Terminals block is kept as short as possible.
02 All loop and ancillary cable terminations must be brought into the panel enclosure using cable entry points
close to their final connection points to respective terminals to ensure tails are kept as short as possible. To
facilitate this most modules can be fitted to the required slot location on the module carrier.
03 Some cable entry points must be left unused to provide adequate mains supply input/signal cable
segregation.
QUALITY OF CABLE
It is vitally important that good quality cable is used and that correct installation techniques are followed. In
general, the following cable installation requirements must be met:
01 All cable sections must be circular to allow effective cable clamping using the cable glands.
02 The cable must be screened (sheathed) to provide protection against Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
and the screen must be connected to earth at the control panel (earthing points are provided on the inside
enclosure top side).
03 The cable screen must be continuous throughout the loop.
LOOP CABLE LENGTH
A loop circuit consists of devices such as detectors and modules. The length of a loop circuit cable used can be
significantly affected by the loading of the device and module on a loop circuit. The length can be up to 3.5 Km
and is determined by cable type and loop loading.
