Each component in the Accutech Systems has
its own wiring requirements.
They have been determined by:
 the amount of Current they will draw
 the Voltage they require
 the type of Signal they will carry
 the Distance the signal can/will travel
 the type of environment the cables
will be exposed to
 National Fire Prevention Association
(NFPA) codes
 National Electoral Code (NEC)
All cables used by Accutech are “Plenum”
rated unless otherwise specified. This allows
them to be run in areas that other cable would
not be allowed.
Be sure you consult Local, State, and Federal
codes as well as with your Accutech
Representative before making any wiring
substitutions.
Cable Door Kit
Accutech’s Cable Door Kit (see Table 2.1) is
the building block for the installation of any
type of zone. As options are added additional
wire or cables will be required.
SAP and GDP Cable Specifications
The addition of a SAP or GDP to your system
will require additional cables. SAPs and
GDPs require a run of 22-gauge, 6-conductor
cable from each zone Controller to the
respective Panel. Consult Table 2.2 on page
2-4 to determine the necessary gauge verses
the distance from the source to the SAP or
GDP.
Furthermore, SAPs and GDPs have a fire
alarm indicator LED that is designed to
receive a signal from the Fire Panel Interface
(FPI) unit. Using 22-gauge, 2-conductor
cables should be adequate up to 1000 feet for
this task.
