3 ...tested and certified by our Fire Laboratory In order to study new cables, new constructions, verify and certify the required performances, Cavicel has now a new well equipped Fire Laboratory. All Firecel cables can be fully tested according to international standards related to behaviour under fire condition. All test reports are registered in our files and, if required, cables can be supplied with Test Reports and Declaration of Compliance.

4 Requirements for Circuit Integrity Standard Enhanced Cables BS : 2002 Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for Buildings Part 1: code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance Par. 26 Cables, wiring and other interconnections Features and Advantages Flexible Very flexible construction that makes the installation easier in all conditions. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Construction Combustion gases with very low toxicity, low smoke emission, and no corrosive gas, for the safeguard of human life and electronic equipment. Flame retardant Limiting the spread of the fire along the cable run, flame barriers can be avoided or reduced. Protected against electrostatic noise Cable is fully screened and conductors are twisted. Recommendation for two levels of fire resistance: Standard for general use Firecel SR 114H EN PH30 Temperature: 830 C Flame and shock for 30 min. BS : 2003 Temperature: 830 C Flame and shock for 15 min. + flame, shock and water for 15 min. Enhanced when cables might need to operate correctly during a fire for periods in excess of those normally required for single phase evacuation of building Firecel SR 114E EN PH120 Temperature: 830 C Flame and shock for 120 min. BS : 2003 Temperature: 930 C Flame and shock for 60 min. + flame, shock and water for 60 min. BS : 2002 recommends enhanced fire resistant cables for the following applications: in unsprinklered buildings (or parts of buildings) in which the fire strategy involves evacuation of occupants in four or more phases; in unsprinklered buildings of greater than 30 m in height; in unsprinklered premises and sites in which a fire in one area could affect cables of critical signal paths associated with areas remote from fire, in which it is envisaged people will remain in occupation during the course of the fire; in any other buildings in which the designer, specifier or regulatory authority, on the basis of a fire risk assessment that takes fire engineering considerations into account, considers that the use of enhanced fire resisting cables is necessary. For more information we recommend to consult BS par. 26. Moisture Resistant No special terminations are required to prevent moisture absorption. It can be installed in damp environments. Suitable for data transmission Twisting of conductors make the cable suitable for clear data transmission. Low cost installation No special tools and special training are neccessary. A cheap and effective cable stripper is available to simplify installation. Easy to handle. Quality Assurance In order to satisfy QA requirements, traceability is assured by batch number printed on outer jacket. All reels have the evidence of testing.

Storage temperature: 40 C to +80 C. Bending Radius Minimum 6 times the nominal diameter of the cable. Installation Cable is easy to handle and easy to install without special tools. Cable can be fixed direct to a surface using LSZH coated copper P clips, available together with cables. Plastic clips must not be used. Cable can also be installed in cable tray or in conduits, or direct buried in plaster. Suitable for outdoor installation too, in appropriate protected environments.
