Installing the Alarm Cable
There are two cable routes as follows:
n
The IFU Alpha alarm cable runs from the IFU mounting location to
the surge suppression assembly.
n
The IFU Beta alarm cable runs from the IFU mounting location to the
surge suppression assembly.
To install the alarm cable:
1 Route the IFU alarm cable to the alarm surge suppressors according to the
site drawing in the site engineering folder.
NOTE: Allow an extra three-foot service loop at IFU and
twelve inches at each surge suppressor. Use large radius
bends to avoid crimping and kinking the cables during the
cable routing.
NOTE: Connect the cable shield to the suppressor ground
lug. Trim the shield back to the cable breakout and keep the
shield as short as possible.
2 Trim each cable to the appropriate length.
3 Strip each cable wire to 3/8 inch and tin.
4 Attach IFU alarm cables to the suppressors. Figure 3-6, Figure 3-7, and
Table 3-4 show a sample layout.
