Loop cables

There is a maximum limit
of 2Km loop cable usage
allowed per loop circuit.
This maximum limit is the
sum of the cable used on
main loop circuit, spurs
off main loop circuit, plus
cable runs to all input
/ output lines off loop
powered interface units
installed on the same loop.
There is a further
maximum limit of 100m
cable run allowed per
input/output line off loop
powered interface unit.
The device loop cable carries both data
and power, therefore its selection is
important. Note the following:
In countries where the European

EMC directive is in force, only EMC
Compliant cables are to be used.
The loop cable usage must not

exceed 2Km. This includes the cable
used on main loop and spur circuits.
Single pair cable must be used. It is

NOT permissible to run mixed loops
or outgoing and return pairs in a
multi core cable, due to inadequate
separation and possible electrical
interference problems.
Each core of the loop cable must be

1.5mm cross section area.
2
the cable screen must be capable of

being earthed at each system device
(outstation).
Red is the preferred cover sheath for

fi re applications.
The specifi ed loop circuit cables are

also suitable for wiring master alarm,
auxiliary relay, input/output lines and
mains supply.
