Version: 1.0
Page 11 of 33
If installation is not possible in suspended trunking, cables can be buried in trenches,

dug in the ground.
Suspended cable tray shall normally be perforated type except for cables routed
through covered concrete trenches/tunnels or cable rooms that shall be laid in ladder
type cable trays.
Cable trunkings shall be prefabricated type made of hot dipped galvanized carbon
steel. Cable bridge surface shall be flat and smooth.

Vertical cable ladders shall be provided with a protective cover from floor level up to a
height of 1 m.
The instrument cable trays should not be loaded over 70%.
Trays for all cables shall be solidly grounded with good ground continuity.
Especially for vertical bedding, but also in all other cases, the cables shall be sustained
by mounting brackets in a reasonable number of locations.
When laid buried the cables shall be protected with about 20 centimetres of sand layer,
under and over the cable.
Cables laid in underground dug trenches shall be buried below the frost line regardless
the class or type of cable used, but 1200 mm minimum where the route is subject to
heavy traffic.
After the cables installation, at trench refilling it is recommended to place a marker
tape over the cables but below the soil to highlight the presence of these cables buried
for other works in that area (as outline in the figure below).
For cases that require additional protection the cables can be installed in pipeline
protection. For this purpose, a drag strip is inserted into the pipe. The cable is fixed to
this strip which will be replaced by cable when is pulled outside.
While pulling, the minimum bend radius shall always be respected and the maximum
tensile load shall never be exceeded.
For laying cables inside buildings, cable channels should be installed under the floor.
All penetrations through building walls via cable transit plate shall be sealed after all
cables have been installed. The barriers shall be of a proven and tested material. The
barriers shall fulfil the following requirements: prevention of fire, smoke and corrosive
Version: 1.0
Page 12 of 33
or toxic gas propagation and water penetration into other buildings or floors within the
same building.
The reduction of noise requires careful planning so that, proper separation is
maintained and that lower and higher levels never encircle each other or run parallel
for long distances.
Intrinsically Safe and non-Intrinsically Safe cables shall be routed in separate cable
trays. Where this not practicable, and both types of cable need to share the same cable
tray, divider plates shall be installed to segregate the two types.
Common routing of control and power cables shall be avoided. Control cables and
power cables shall be routed in separate cable trays with a minimum distance of 150
mm between them.
When electrical signals are assigned to multi pairs cables, the following signal
segregation rules shall be followed:
- intrinsically safe and non intrinsically safe signals shall be segregated as required by
EN 60079 14.
- the supply and return conductor of a signal shall be contained in the same cable pair.
- segregation on the basis of cabling requirements shall be required. Example:
thermocouple signals require extension cabling and thus can only be combined in one
cable with signals from thermocouples of the same type.
- segregation between services is mandatory (e.g.
Instrumentation and Electrical in one multicore cable).
no

cabling
for
- signals for Control, Safety and Telecommunications systems (PCS, SIS, F&G, PAGA,
Telecommunication) shall be run in separate cables dedicated to each system.
- analogue and binary signals shall not be run in the same cable.
As far as is practically possible and also economically, redundant bus systems shall be
run in separate cables and, preferably, in different routes to maximize integrity.
Segregation on types and levels as descripted above shall be maintained in junction
boxes.
At installation / mounting twisting mating connectors shall be kept to reduce the risk of
interference with other signals.
The screen of the cables shall be isolated and unconnected at instrument side, and
connected to earth at the other side (in marshalling/system cabinet). The cable armour
shall be grounded at both sides.
Cable route defined by design shall be accessible and available. For deviations from
projected cable route the agreement of the Company is required.
The contractor shall determine if environmental conditions are appropriate for
methods used in cables installation.
For reasons of safety, always unroll cable by the bottom side of the reel as shown
below.
Version: 1.0
Page 13 of 33
At both ends, it is recommended to leave one cable loop (15 20 centimetres diameter)
for reserve.
The first few meters of cable from the reels should be removed because they could
easily be damaged by pulling, bending, etc. shock.
One of the goals in any cable installation is to complete the installation with as little
stress as possible to the conductors themselves. All cables are provided with a
carefully calculated tensile loading value, which shall never be surpassed.
The junction box is connected to the marshalling cabinet via multi pair cable. Sufficient
terminals with test sockets shall be provided in each JB.
The junction boxes shall be of wall mounted type.
No redundant signals shall be connected to the same junction box.
Cables shall not be crushed or subject to strong impact / compression. Test methods at
crush, to be observed are presented in EN 50289 3.
Cables shll never be kinked or knotted.
No straight joints shall be permitted in cable runs except where the length of the cable
route can be demonstrated to exceed the maximum available drum size.
All process field devices (e.g. pressure switches, temperature transmitters etc.), which
are mounted inside or outside of a local instrument panel or local junction boxes, shall
be connected with individual cables to the Local Instrument Panel or junction boxes by
screw type terminal.
Wires shall not be jointed or tied between terminal points. Not more than one wire
shall be connected to any one screw terminal. In case of more than one wire are
necessary to be terminated multiple terminals shall be used.
All spare cores/pairs on multi core/pairs cables shall be terminated on spare terminals
on the terminal blocks at both ends of the cable.
Plastic wire markers shall be used indicating the terminal strip and terminal number at
both ends.
Terminals dedicated for different voltage levels shall be segregated from each other.
The distance between wiring trunks and terminals shall be sufficient for easy trouble
shooting (>40mm).
2.3.5.
Cable glands
Entry into instrument housings and junction boxes shall be via cable glands. They are
used as a sealing and termination device to ensure that the characteristics of the
enclosure which the cable enters can be maintained adequately.
Where cable glands are intended for use in a Hazardous Area or where specified, cable
glands shall be certified by a recognised ATEX Testing Authority.
PE D IN STD 001 01 E
Version: 1.0
Page 14 of 33
Cable glands on plant instruments shall preferably be located at the bottom, never at
the top, to prevent ingress of water. Where cable glands are installed in the side wall of
the instruments, the cables shall enter from below. Cables coming from above shall
first drop to below the elevation of the gland.
The entry thread of the cable glands shall be ISO metric. Cables shall be clamped just
below the cable glands to prevent excessive force on the cable gland.

Quality assurance
2.4.1.
General
The Vendor shall operate a quality system satisfying the provisions of ISO 9001 or
agreed equivalent standard, commensurate with the goods and services provided.
Before the laying, reel / cable drums should be inspected visually for possible damage
to the transport and storage (cuts, crushing, bending under the minimum allowable
radius etc.).
Version: 1.0
Page 16 of 33
To protect cables, in storage space shall be taken measures for tumble drums block.
When cable is stored outside, a cap must be placed at both ends to avoid water
infiltration.
Indoor cables must not be stored outside to prevent water infiltration and UV damages.
Storage temperature range shall be specified for each cable/ reel and must be
respected.
If several reels are stored at the same place, measures should be taken so that flanges
of a reel dont collide with cable of another reel.
Never install a cable if temperature is below 5C. In cold environment the cable sheaths
are stiffer and more sensitive to bending and pulling.

placed in normal use or from the date the Supplier has demonstrated each units
capacity to meet all the requirements of this Specification.
The defect liability period shall be extended by the number of days that any of the units
were inoperable due to defects that occurred during the defect liability period.
The warranty shall include all materials of construction, parts and workmanship.
The Supplier shall be responsible for all costs relating to the making good any warranty
repairs, including travel, time and accommodation of field service representatives and
