interrupted in any enclosure associated with the fire alarm.
5)
Mark each terminal according to the system's wiring diagrams.
6)
Make all connections with approved crimp-on terminal spade plugs,
pressure type terminal blocks, or plug connectors.
Cable Taps: Use numbered terminal strips in junction, pull, outlet boxes, as well
as cabinets or equipment enclosures where circuit connections are made.
Color Coding: Color code fire alarm conductors differently from the normal
building power wiring. It is recommended, but not required that the fire alarm
