Installation and Operation Manual
SYSTEM WIRING
Before connecting the field wiring, check the wiring for opens, shorts, grounds, and stray voltages.
Damage may result if a high‐voltage insulation tester is used on wiring while connected to the control panel
and field devices.
Terminate the field wiring to the main board in accordance with the diagrams in the SYSTEM WIRING section
and in the system design documents.
All wiring must be in accordance with local codes, National Electrical Code, and Canadian Electrical Code.
Wiring Notes
Basic system wiring and detector locations must be in accordance with NFPA 72 and CAN/ULC‐S524 or other
applicable codes and instructions from the appropriate local authority having jurisdiction.
Devices that may be satisfactorily used with the control panel are shown in the Appendix‐A: Compatible Devices.
Wire reference data are listed in Appendix‐B: Wire Selection Guide.
Power Limiting
In accordance with NEC Article 760 and UL 864, all power limited fire protective signaling conductors must be
located at least 1/4 inch away from all of the following wiring located within a control panel:
Electric light
Power
Class 1 or non‐power limited fire protective signaling conductors
To meet these requirements, the following guidelines must be observed when installing modules and wiring to
this control panel.
When installing power limited field wiring, the installer must comply with NEC article 760, which states:
The fire alarm power‐limited circuits are installed using Types FPL, FPLR, FPLP or permitted substitute cable,
provided these power‐limited cable conductors extending beyond the jacket are separated by a minimum of
0.25 in. (6.35 mm) or by a nonconductive sleeve or nonconductive barrier from all other conductors.
If energy limited cable or equivalent is not used within the FW106/FW106C enclosure, then the following
guidelines do not apply. In that case, be sure to follow standard wiring practices.
Wiring Entering the Enclosure
Non‐Power Limited Wiring ‐ Wiring entering the enclosure from the bottom left side and right side of the
enclosure is considered non‐power limited wiring. Wiring must be in the shortest route and must not overlap
any other wiring.
Power Limited Wiring ‐ Wiring entering the enclosure from the upper left side of the enclosure or the right
side is considered power limited. Wiring must be in the shortest route and must not overlap any other wiring.
