  • Page 71: Recommended Cable Routing

    5 Recommended Cable Routing Power limited and non-power limited circuit wiring must remain separate in the fire alarm system enclosure. All power limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25” (6.35 mm) away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power limited and non-power limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the enclosure through different knockouts and/or conduits (see figure 46).

    6 Loading Calculations 6.1 Panel Loading The total NX-FACP base card load must not exceed the rating of the NX-FACP power supply. The NX-FACP power supply can deliver 5A total load maximum (battery charging is disabled during alarm). When the optional NX-EM-PSU expansion power supply is used to supplement the NX-CTL base card power supply (NX-ACS-2L two loop and four only) an additional 4A of load current for NAC #3 and NAC #4 is available.
