INTRODUCTION The Model CAB1-X enclosure from Siemens Industry, Inc., is used to house system

modules. The CAB1-X backbox and doors are black. The CAB1-X consists of an outer
door, an OD-GP vented grill plate, a mounting plate (CAB-MP), and a backbox as
shown in Figure 1.

INSTALLATION Prior to installation consider the following:

• Mounting height for access to the opening of the outer door.

• Weight and size of the enclosure.

• Local codes.

Install the backbox: 1. Select a clean, dry, shock and vibration free surface.

2. Position the backbox clear of obstructions so that the front door opens freely
and the controls and indicators are easily accessible.

3. Mark the locations of the two upper mounting bolts of the backbox on the
wall. (Refer to Figure 2.)

4. Drill the two holes located in the previous step and screw in the top bolts,
leaving a small gap between the wall and each top bolt.

5. Place the backbox over the two top bolts and allow it to slide down over the
bolts. (Refer to Figure 3.)

6. Mark, drill, and install the two bottom bolts in the backbox.

7. Tighten all four bolts securely against the back wall of the backbox.

WIRING In compliance with NEC Article 760, all power limited fire protective signaling conduc-

tors must be separated a minimum of ¼ inch from all of the following wiring located
within a control panel:

• electric light

•power

• Class 1 or non-power limited fire protective signaling conductors

To meet these requirements, the following guidelines must be observed when
installing modules and wiring to this control panel.

When installing power limited field wiring, the installer must comply with NEC article
760, which states:

The fire alarm power-limited circuits are installed using Types FPL, FPLR, FPLP or
permitted substitute cable, provided these power-limited cable conductors extending
beyond the jacket are separated by a minimum of 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) or by a noncon­ductive sleeve or nonconductive barrier from all other conductors.

If energy limited cable or equivalent is not used within the CAB1-X enclosure, then
the following guidelines do not apply. In that case, be sure to follow standard wiring
practices.

Wiring Entering Enclosure Non-Power Limited Wiring

Wiring entering the enclosure from the bottom and right side of the backbox is
considered non-power limited wiring. Wiring must be in the shortest route and must
not overlap any other wiring.
