Loop Circuit Connections Loop Capacity Loop Circuit Connections The fire alarm system can permit significant reductions in installation costs when compared with conventional and other multi-state systems. This is because of the ability to wire a large number of devices (outstations), like sensors, sounders, manual call points, interface units and repeat panels on one loop circuit.
Loop cable Loop Circuit Connections Loop cable See the part on Cables NOTE: Multi-core cables carrying more than one circuit should never be used. Cable separation Where the outgoing and return cables of a loop which covers more than the equivalent of one zone must not run together, for example, either close to the Control Panel or in a service duct.
Control Panel connections Loop Circuit Connections Earth Continuity To maintain earth continuity, the loop cable screen must be continued through each system device on the loop, whether the device is earthed or not.. Control Panel connections NOTE: The previous or next device connection can be a loop device or an end connection to the control panel.
