load, in good time. In the event when the Contractor/Sub-contractor** failed to
provide the schedule, the Contractor/Sub-contractor** shall be responsible for the
extra cost of remedial work such as chasing and coring of concrete to make way for the
electrical supply.

Unless indicated otherwise on the Drawings or directed by the Architect/Supervising

Officer, all cables and wirings shall be enclosed in steel conduits/trunkings.

Video signal cables, control cables and power cables shall be enclosed in different
conduits/trunkings. Control cables of different voltages shall be enclosed in different
conduits/trunkings. For indication of the purpose of the trunking, labels shall be
provided at 10 m interval along the trunkings and cover of conduit adaptable boxes.
For trunking of length less than 10m, at least one label shall be provided. The label
shall be stencil marking of not less than 10mm of wording ‘SS’, ‘SC’, ‘SP’ to indicate
their purpose for burglar alarm and security system signal cable, burglar alarm and
security system control cable, and burglar alarm and security system power cable
respectively.

All trunkings and conduits shall be properly earthed and installed according to the
Electrical General Specification.

All cables and wirings shall run continuously from device location to the final point of
termination. No mid run cable splices shall be allowed.

The communication cable between the central control station computers and the local
control units and the communication cable between the matrix switchers and the
pan/tilt drivers of cameras shall be twisted PVC/PVCs cable with metallic shield or
other better communication cable.

Cables between the piece of equipment and the adjacent fixed power supply point
shall be enclosed in flexible conduits. The adaptor of the flexible conduits shall
comprise of two parts i.e. an inner core and an outer ferrule. The inner core screws

 into the bore of the conduit together with an outer ferrule which caps off the end of the
conduit, so that the adaptor can provide an extremely strong joint. The core shall lock
against the outer ferrule and isolate any sharp cut edges in the conduits.

All cables and wirings terminals and connectors shall be marked with ferrules at both
ends. The labelling shall agree with the record drawings.

2. ELECTRICITY GROUNDING

A single “system grounding” point shall be established for the burglar alarm and
security system. This system ground shall consist of a single grounding point to which
all grounds in the burglar alarm and security system shall be connected. Under no
circumstance, the neutral either in a power panel or in receptacle outlet can be used for
reference ground.

All burglar alarm and security equipment shall be grounded. The Contractor/Sub-
contractor** shall provide separate wiring for connecting the burglar alarm and
security equipment to the ground point.

The Contractor/Sub-contractor** shall be responsible for establishing the ground point

and ensuring that no ground loops are created.

The burglar alarm and security system grounding shall be tied together with the main
building earthing system via properly sized link. The earthing of the burglar alarm
and security system must be proved by measuring the resistance between the burglar
alarm and security system earth and the main building earth.
