AM2 question, need help

[Josh Tinto]

Right, so I'm in the middle of my AM2 and I need to wire FP200 from the DB to a carbon monoxide alarm via multi compartment dado trunking, I've looked in the spec and it doesn't say anything about whether the FP needs to be separated from the T&E powering lights & sockets, can anyone give me an answer as to if I can put the FP in the compartment with the other power cables or does it need a separate compartment? I'd have thought that with FP carrying 230V and being screened then it would be fine but I don't want to fail over something as stupid as that.

Help appreciated.

Fire alarm circuits are usually segregated or separated from power and lighting and E

Isn’t it clipped to tray?

Its clipped to tray after the trunking, but I don't want to fail on the basis that it's in the same compartment as the lighting & power

Mine was p-clipped to tray but did run from the DB to the tray in the dado trunking. I put it in with the rest of the power cabling in the middle compartment.

It's not a fire alarm circuit. It's the power supply to a carbon monoxide detector.

So did you put your FP in with the power & lighting? I asked my boss and he said it would be fine to do that but hes obviously not an AM2 assessor

Run it with your other circuits just use a different compartment for your data cable and don’t forget the separator when passes through the top compartment.

Holes will already be in place for glands etc.

This might help ?

The following BS will provide guidance
BS EN 50174-1
Information technology. Cabling installation. Installation specification and quality assurance

BS7671 section 528 is the relevant one I think.

On the AM2 FP is only used to supply a co2 detector to demonstrate termination only.

In with the rest of the circuits it is not a fire alarm circuit it is a domestic 230v carbon monoxide alarm
