System design
Fire alarm system design is beyond the scope of this document. A basic understanding of general
fire alarm system components and their use is assumed.
Contact the Fire Officer concerned with the property at an early stage in case he has any
special requirements. We strongly recommend that a suitably qualified and competent person
is consulted in connection with the design of the fire alarm system and that the system is
commissioned and serviced in accordance with the laid down specification and national
standards. If in doubt please consult your supplier.
We recommend you read BS 5839: Pt 1: 2002 "Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for Buildings
(Code of Practice for System Design, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance)" available at
your local reference library or from the BSI. Other national standards of installation should be
referenced where applicable.
Cable types and limitations
All system wiring should be installed to meet current national standards - in the United Kingdom
these are BS 5839 pt 1 : 2002 and BS7671 (Wiring Regulations).
1.5mm two-core fire resistant screened cable should be used throughout the repeater network
2
installation. This not only shields the data moving up and down the cables from outside interference
but is essential to ensure compliance with EMC regulations. Cables such as FP 200, Firetuff™,
Firecel™ and MICC may be acceptable provided they are properly terminated at the fire panel and
meet national standards / the system specification as applicable. Consult Clause 26 of BS 5839 pt 1 :
2002 for more detailed information on cables, wiring and other interconnections.
Equipment guarantee
This equipment is not guaranteed unless the complete installation is installed and commissioned
in accordance with the laid down national standards (in the UK BS 5839: Pt 1: 2002) by an
approved and competent person or organisation.
Anti-static handling guidelines
Always observe appropriate electro-static handling precautions prior to handling the
panel's PCBs or any other static-sensitive components.
