Model CAB1-X
INTRODUCTION The Model CAB1-X enclosure from Siemens Industry, Inc., is used to house system
modules.The CAB1-X backbox and doors are black. The CAB1-X consists of an outer
door, an OD-GP vented grill plate, a mounting plate (CAB-MP), and a backbox as
shown in Figure 1.

The backbox is mounted on a flat surface with four user-supplied bolts that are a
maximum of 3/8inch in diameter.
The backbox contains enough space to mount a set of BTX-1 (31 AH) batteries in the
bottom.
PRE-INSTALLATION (Optional) Remove the CAB-MP mounting plate from the backbox.

INSTALLATION Prior to installation consider the following:
• Mounting height for access to the opening of the outer door.
• Weight and size of the enclosure.
• Local codes.
Install the backbox: 1. Select a clean, dry, shock and vibration free surface.
2. Position the backbox clear of obstructions so that the front door opens freely
and the controls and indicators are easily accessible.
3. Mark the locations of the two upper mounting bolts of the backbox on the
wall. (Refer to Figure 2.)
4. Drill the two holes located in the previous step and screw in the top bolts,
leaving a small gap between the wall and each top bolt.
5. Place the backbox over the two top bolts and allow it to slide down over the
bolts. (Refer to Figure 3.)
6. Mark, drill, and install the two bottom bolts in the backbox.
7. Tighten all four bolts securely against the back wall of the backbox.

WIRING In compliance with NEC Article 760, all power limited fire protective signaling conduc-
tors must be separated a minimum of ¼ inch 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 noncon-
ductive sleeve or nonconductive barrier from all other conductors.
If energy limited cable or equivalent is not used within the CAB1-X enclosure, then
the following guidelines do not apply. In that case, be sure to follow standard wiring
practices.
Wiring Entering Enclosure Non-Power Limited Wiring
Wiring entering the enclosure from the bottom and right side of the backbox 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 top and the left side of the backbox is consid-
ered power limited. Wiring must be in the shortest route and must not overlap any
other wiring.
Use the existing lances in the backbox to dress the wires as needed to maintain
separation of power limited and non-power limited wiring.
Install Wiring The System is designed to operate from an external 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source.
The primary mains input must have a separate or dedicated circuit breaker. Wire in
accordance with local codes and NEC 760.
1. Remove the knockouts in the backbox for the entry of field wiring. (Refer to
Figure 4 for the location of knockouts.)
2. Pull all field wiring into the backbox. Do not dress the wiring until the
location of all the equipment is known.
3. Install the wiring from the external power source to the approximate location
of the power supply.
POST-INSTALLATION After the backbox is installed and the wiring completed, finish the installation by
installing the mounting plate, the outer door, the OD-GP grill plate, and the ground
straps.
1. Install the mounting plate if removed.
2. Install the door by placing it on its hinges. (Refer to Figure 5, page 5.)
3. Install the OD-GP vented grill plate on the door and secure with the 10-32
nuts supplied. (Refer to Figure 6, page 5.)
4. Install the ground strap on the door. (Refer to Figure 7, page 6.)
