The following cable types should be used to comply with EU EMC directive [89/336EEC]:
Addressable loops: MICC, SWA [using a suitable termination gland] or any foil and
drain wire type fire resistant cable [terminated with an SHV type gland (Stock coded)
or a CXT type gland (not Stock coded)].
Mains: Normal mains cable, MICC, SWA [using a suitable termination
gland] or any foil and drain wire type fire resistant cable [terminated
with an SHV or CXT type gland]. A ferrite bead must be fitted as shown.

[MINERVA 80/T890]: Two 4-core screened cables [as above].
Remote Bus: MICC, SWA [using a suitable termination gland] or any foil and drain
wire type fire resistant cable [terminated with an SHV or CXT type gland].
Network: MICC, SWA [using a suitable termination gland] or any foil and drain
wire type fire resistant cable [terminated with an SHV or CXT type gland].
CABLE PARAMETERS BETWEEN TLK530s [Max length - 1200m]
38,400 Max resistance 75 ohms per conductor
Max capacitance 0.3F between conductors
19,200 Max resistance 75 ohms per conductor
9,600 and below Max resistance 75 ohms per conductor
The maximum distance, using shielded twisted pair cable with characteristics within
the parameters above, terminated with an SHV or CXT type gland, is 3000 metres.
Examples are Belden 9460 or 9574.
Serial output: Wall mounted printer [conduit/MICC].

Remote LCDs [MICC, SWA [using a suitable termination gland]
or any foil and drain wire type [terminated with an SHV or CXT type gland].
Ferrite beads are to be used at each Remote LCD as detailed in
the commissioning section.

4.3.11 CABLE ROUTING

It is important to ensure the correct routing of cables in
order to minimise coupling effects. In particular, power
and MINERVA signal cables should NOT be grouped
together in the same conduit or trunking. Where it is
unavoidable to run power and signal cables together, it is
recommended that the separation between them is not less
than the minimum values shown in Table 1.

To provide extra EMI protection Ferrite beads are to be
placed on the cables as shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13.

To comply with current EMC directives, Ferrite beads are
to be placed on the cables as shown in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16.

Connection between a MINERVA controller and possible
local equipments are shown in Fig. 24. The controller
contains an MPIM configured for Personality OIB-L. In
this configuration, the MPIM is connected to the MP [via the
local bus] and drives the ZD [via the expansion bus].
A serial port is also available from the MPIM, which may be
used to drive a serial printer or a terminal/computer.
It is possible to piggy-back an additional MPIM onto the
MPIM on the front panel and this will, when connected to
the local bus, provide the interfaces for additional
equipment. This could be used, as in the example given, as
a parallel printer driver [Personality PIB-L].
