Cables
Cables
All wiring must comply with local wiring regulations. Note also the requirements for cabling and interconnection
of a fire detection and alarm system. For information on wiring inputs and outputs refer to the appropriate module
and wiring to their terminals.
CABLING INSTRUCTIONS
01 Cables must be brought into the enclosure using the 20 mm cable entry points provided on the top and rear of
the panel enclosure. Ensure that all openings in the enclosure are closed before connecting power to the panel
to prevent inadvertent access to hazardous voltages.
02 Tails must be of sufficient length to connect to the respective terminal at the commissioning stage.
03 Cables that are screened must be terminated at the panel enclosure and earthed at points provided on the top
side.
04 The mains supply must be suitably fused and rated as per specifications, mains supply must have a dedicated
spur from the site distribution board with an over-current protection device rated at a maximum of 16 A.
05 The cable entry points on the extreme right-hand side must be used for mains cable entry. DO NOT route
mains cable using any other cable entry points and ensure that the mains wiring is always separated from the
low voltage wiring. It is good practice to always isolate the mains power at the external isolator equipment to
make the panel safe when performing maintenance tasks involving the panel’s electronic equipment.
06 All low voltage cables must have a minimum 300 V AC rating.
CABLE GLANDS
Fire-industry-approved, M20 cable glands must be used, that are made out of metal or having flammability class
V1 rating or better.

CABLE TERMINATIONS
This section provides guidance on where to bring cables into the INSPIRE E10/E15 Control Panel enclosure for
ease of termination. Ensure the following requirements are met:
01 The mains supply must be brought into the INSPIRE E10/E15 Control panel such that the cable path to the
Mains Terminals block is kept as short as possible.
02 All loop and ancillary cable terminations must be brought into the panel enclosure using cable entry points
close to their final connection points to respective terminals to ensure tails are kept as short as possible. To
facilitate this most modules can be fitted to the required slot location on the module carrier.
03 Some cable entry points must be left unused to provide adequate mains supply input/signal cable
segregation.
QUALITY OF CABLE
It is vitally important that good quality cable is used and that correct installation techniques are followed. In
general, the following cable installation requirements must be met:
01 All cable sections must be circular to allow effective cable clamping using the cable glands.
02 The cable must be screened (sheathed) to provide protection against Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
and the screen must be connected to earth at the control panel (earthing points are provided on the inside
enclosure top side).
03 The cable screen must be continuous throughout the loop.
LOOP CABLE LENGTH
A loop circuit consists of devices such as detectors and modules. The length of a loop circuit cable used can be
significantly affected by the loading of the device and module on a loop circuit. The length can be up to 3.5 Km
and is determined by cable type and loop loading.

12
Cables
RECOMMENDED CABLES
The cable length of a loop circuit is precisely calculated using the Battery Standby Calculator
