Certificate No 077k

FP200 GOLD > The original highly durable and dressable, easy to
terminate and install re resistant cable, using the unique
TM
Insudite damage resistant insulation system. Approved
for re detection and re alarm critical signal paths to
BS5839-1:2002+A2:2008 and voice alarm systems to
BS5839-8:2008 in standard application areas, and emergency
lighting systems to BS5266-1:2005.

The changes to cable test methods and requirements rst

introduced by BS5839-1:2002+A2:2008 Fire detection and re
alarm systems for buildings - Part 1: Code of practice for system
design, installation, commissioning and maintenance mean that
re resistant cables must now be approved against new test
requirements.

APPROVALS > In addition to approvals to BS7629-1 and BS6387 Category

CWZ, FP200 Gold has received BASEC and LPCB approval to
BS5839-1:2002 for standard applications. This includes
approval to BS EN 50200 Class PH30 and the new integrated

re, shock and water test BS8434-1 for 30 minutes. FP200 Gold
is also approved to BS EN 50200 Class PH60 as required by
BS5266-1:2005.

All Prysmian FP200Gold cables are manufactured under an
ISO 9001 Quality System certied by BASEC and LPCB.

DATA CAPABILITY >

FP200 Gold has excellent data/signal transmission characteristics
making it ideal for voice alarm, addressable and networked
systems.

INSTALLATION > In accordance with BS5839-1 and BS5266-1 requirements,

cables must be supported by a xing that can withstand the
same re conditions as the cable. To meet this requirement the

use of Prysmian AP LSOH coated metal P-clips or the new FP
TM
Firex rapid xing system is recommended.

FP200Gold should be installed in accordance with

BS7671/IEE Wiring Regulations and/or any other appropriate
national regulations or codes. It is suitable for indoor and
outdoor installation in suitably protected environments and
particularly appropriate for surface wiring, direct burial in
plaster, tray or other installations requiring a dressable product.
