Routing The Ca Cables - Firecom 3010 Series Installation & Operation Manuals

ROUTING THE CA CABLES

The path along which you intend to run the CA Cables from the Intercom to the Headset
Modules should also be planned BEFORE the installation. The items below are some of
the items to consider when planning where to route the CA Cables.
• Route the CA Cables away from hot surfaces (such as the vehicle exhaust system).
• Route the CA Cables away from any moving equipment on the vehicle.
• Route the CA Cables away from the antenna or the antenna cable.
DO NOT store excess cable. The length of each CA Cable should allow for
•
approximately 10 inches of excess cable in each run for service loops (VERY
IMPORTANT, especially in installations with a radio operating in the lower
frequencies).
• When routing the CA Cables through bulkheads or other sheet metal, use a
rubber grommet in the hole to prevent damage to the cables.
