Cable Installation Safety Considerations

Interconnecting, communications, and Class 2 dc power cables should be separated from electrical light
or other Class 1 circuits by at least 2 inches. The exception is where Class 1 wiring or power circuits are
run in a raceway, or are metal-sheathed or metal-clad, or are permanently separated from the conductors
of the other circuitry by a continuous and firmly fixed nonconductor such as porcelain tubes or flexible
tubing in addition to the insulation on the wire. Communications cables and in-building wiring should be
listed and marked for the purpose according to NEC Article 800.

N

OTE

: If an external antenna is used, antenna cable must be routed through a dedicated enclosure entry

point, separated from power wiring.

Antenna

All Call Box models equipped with an integral radio transceiver require the use of an external antenna.
The use of an internal antenna may prevent the Call Box from operating. An omni-directional, unity gain
antenna is recommended for general use.
