PIR Fire Cable advice?

nikmet · May 31, 2011

Hi, on a periodic inspection today, looks like a few alterations had been made to the existing installation. Some of the ground floor lighting circuit had been extended using red cable as used for fire alarm systems,,,,,any advice on this? thanks, Nick

Not a problem if the voltage ratings correct.

FP200? is that rated at low voltage,thought it only went upto 50v

I would just put a note down in the comments box on the PIR and perhaps a label on the CU as well.

Is there a fire alarm using the same kind of cable?

Take the bs number from the cable and check its rating, note it on the cert for future ref.

I've done cinema's in the stuff.
If I'm not mistaken (a bit rusty on this) FP200 Gold has the correct rating, its stamped on the cable anyway.
Early FP was 50v stuff.
