Under a dynamic leadership, and acting as a solid body committed to the objective of enhancing and safeguarding the practice of the Electronics and Communications Engineering profession in the Philippines, IECEP took the necessary and appropriate steps to achieve this goal by ‘giving due recognition, proper motivation, as well as moral ana financial support to those ‘charged with the task of directly preparing this Code. It is therefore worth mentioning the following IECEP officers: Engineers Conrado A. Hernandez, President, Rene C. Atien First Vice President; Bernie Gumarang, 2nd Vice President; Amalia L. Evangelista, 3rd Vice President; Milagros S.G. Quintero, Secretary; Nimfa Q. Tancioeo, Treasurer; Ariel Hi, Padilla, Auditor, Directors Pacifico C. Alfon, Jr., Roy Noel Asi, Jose V. Bacud, Jose A, Castillo, Roberto L. Duque and Joselito C. Leynes. The final printing and publication of this Code was made possible through the efforts of the 1993-94 Board of Directors of TECEP headed by its President, Engineer Alex S. Villamar ably assisted by the incumbent ‘Code Committee Chairman, Engineer Rene C. Atienza. Grateful acknowledgment is also accorded to members of the reappointed Code ‘Committee who, by virtue of ther raining, experience and individual specialties, have been handpicked for the tedious work of compiling, formulating, refining, editing and publishing this book. Cited in this regard are 1982-1983 Code Committee members Engineers Santos Bernaldo, Jr, Oscar Cantor, Tsabelo A. Ferido, Jr., Adolfo R. Manlangit, Joel J. ‘Marciano, Joselito A. Saez and Cornelio R. Mendoza, Jr. Chairman and 1989-1990 Code ‘Committee members Engineers Rene C. Atienza, Chairman ; Cornelio R. Mendoza, Jr, ‘Co-Chairman; Sinbad Apepe, Member and Joel J. Marciano, Adviser. The role of Engr. Cornelio R. Mendoza merits special mention in cognizance of the fact that since 1969, with utmost dedication and self-sacrifice, he has been almost single-handedly carrying out in-depth observations, studies, selection and compilation of reference materials from BELL. (AT & T) and GENERAL TELEPHONE CO. (USA), National Electrical Code of U.S.A., Philippine Electrical Code, the formulation of locally-applicable standards and consultation! coordination with foreign experts through his membership in the U.S.A.-based Building Industry Consulting Service Intemational (BICSI). Such unrelenting efforts culminated in the preparation and publication ofthe predecessor of this code, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT Co.) Building Telephone Facilities Standards Manual (1976, 1979 and 1984 issues). ‘The close relationship between the Manual and this Code, and the very encouraging results of implementation of the former by PLDT Co,, also bring to light the invaluable contributions by PLDT Engincers Oscar Cantor, Roberto V. Hembrador, Marcelo C. Jamias and Felicisimo Talain on requirements for service entrance, working plans, and information on telephone services; Ruben Briones and Tluminado A. = “i i ; | |Sacramento on underground installations; Rogelio E. Ramos and Adolfo Manlangit on PABX equipmenvattendant’s cabinet installation; (Mrs.) Miriam Santos, Rodolfo F. Acebo and Fabian L. Bitanga, Jr. on illustrations and tabulations, and Jose P. Ladia, Jr,. Antonio L, Garalde and Joselito Saez, former Managers of the BICS Department of PLDT Co., for the publication and implementation of the 1979 and 1984 issues. Subsequent updating, ‘modifications, conversion to National Standards, and additional provisions derived from actual observations and experiences in private consultation and contracting works by the Co-Chairman and the individual contributions of the other equally-qualified members of the present Code Committee, resulted in this Code. We also recognize and express our deep gratitude for the invaluable assistance rendered by Mr. Harry J. Pfister, one of the founders and past President of BICSI-U.S.A., for suggesting the format, furnishing a variety of applicable technical materials, and for his willingness to help and very positive attitude towards this undertaking; Engineers Leonardo V. Paculan and Felicito Rey Signo, past Chairmen of the Board of Electronics and Communications Engineering for going over the manuscript and giving useful information and advice on procedures and preparation for publication of an earlier version of this book. Engineers Fortunato Q. Perlas, Oscar S. Villacorta and Joel J. Marciano, the present Board of E.C.E., and Engineers Rogelio E. Ramos and Conrado A. Hernandez, 1982-1983 and 1989-1990 Presidents of IECEP respectively, for having conccived and initiated the ‘move for the formulation of standards to be incorporated in this. and the earlier-published ‘Volume 1 of the Philippine Electronics (and Communications) Code; Miss Tuminada R. ‘Mendoza and the 1983 IECEP Secretariat composed of Messrs. Jose Barredo and Antonio Perlas, Miss Beth Wu and Miss Milagros G. Paras, for their painstaking efforss in typing ‘the materials; Mr. Nepthalie J, Arevalo for drafting of the illustration works; Mr. Joel J. Marciano for helping in the tedious proofreading, editing and printing coordination works; for the officers and employees of TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. with whose expense, manpower and facilities the finalization of this updated version of the code was accomplished, and all others who in one way or another have contributed to make the preparation and issuance of this Code possible,PREFACE ‘The steadily-increasing demand for different types of telephone and related services involving new and sophisticated communications equipment and apparatuses, the latest concepts in the design, engineering and methods of installing cable and wiring facilities, as well as the varied experiences in the maintenance of cable and wiring installations and switching equipment necessitate the issuance of this Code. ‘The primary objective is to provide rules and standards for the Electronics and ‘Communications industry in planning building telephone facilities geared towards the lowest possible costs, consistent with aesthetic and safe practices, and which will result in minimum ‘maintenance, future re-arrangement costs and inconveniences. Until today, the Electronics and Communications industry has had no uniform and reliable codified standards of practice on a national scope to follow of use as a guide in primarily, the design of telephone facilites requirements in buildings. The publication in 1976, 1979 and 1984 of the "Building Telephone Facilities Standards Manual" by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), which is applicable only within PLDT franchise areas achieved a fair degree of success in bringing about some uniformity within the industry. However, the rapid advances in technology have resulted in. some inconsistencies in the enforcement of standards, such that the formulation and adoption of ‘more relevant and modem standards became necessary, not only to keep up with the times, but also to resolve some doubts and conflicts. ‘These new standards, along. with stilLapplicable ones derived from the PLDT Co Standards Manual, are now reflected in this ‘Code. Proper administration and enforcement of this Code by experienced, properly-trained ‘and. professionally-qualified personnel will invariably bring about uniformity within the industry, consistent with the efforts to uphold the high standards of practice of the Electronics and Communications Engineering profession in the country. “Applicable current technical practices by prestigious operating telephone companies here (PLDT Co) and in the U.S.A. (BELL-AT&T and General Telephone Co.), selections from REA (US.A.)-preseribed practices, applicable provisions of past editions of the National Electrical Code of USA. and the Philippine Electrical Code (1980 and 1985 Euitions) have been adopted in this Code and when necessary, modified to suit local conditions to enrich the contents of this Code. In certain cases relative to installation and ‘maintenance problems where no precedents have been found in other countries, indigenous Solutions which have proven to be very workable, pfactical and reliable, if administered ‘whole-heartedly and properly, have also been incorporated. A case in point is the method of ‘identifying all necessary components of the house cable and wiring system and the recording ofthese data, together with their respective applications, designations and assignments in the Station Facility Assignment Sheet(s), as covered in Section 7 of this Code, These measures and procedures, if properly carried out, will greatly facilitate current and future installation ‘and maintenance work on a building's telephone and wiring system. Other examples are the various details which are now defined and required in this Code to be shown in the work sheet(s) for the design. of building cable facilites and on the building telephone plans, aimed not only at familiarizing but also properly educating engineers and craftsmen on the safe,‘economical and workmanlike manner of planning and installing ot providing for a building's telephone and related facilities. All these, plus provisions consistent with government policies and regulations affecting the industry, form the bases, essence and embodiment of this Code. ‘This Code contains basic minimum provisions considered necessary for safety, good ‘workmanship, and proper operation and maintenance of a building's telephone cable, wiring ‘and equipment facilities. For the qualified engineer, it will provide guidelines in the tedious cfforts of designing and preparation of plans and other supplementary requirements. For the crafismen, it will provide @ valuable tool for the acquisition of new and special skills to follow plans, to interpret entries in the Facility Assignment Sheets, and to adapt to modem practices of the trade, For the one who pays for the works, itis the intent of this Code to assist in the realization of savings in the operations and maintenance of his building's telephone facilities. However, this code is not intended as an instruction manual for untrained persons. The use of optical fiber facilities for building is not included in this Code, The prohibitive cost of the cable itself (and which can not be ordered in short lengths as applicable to building installations), interface equipment, accessories, and tooling, and their unavailability (in the local market) for immediate use (specially for maintenance/ replacement caused by fire and/or destructive calamities) discount its technological advantage and feasibility for use at this time, and probably for the next five years henceforth, in building communications in this country. However, for telephone outside plant installations such as those introduced and being undertaken by PLDT Co. for inter-office ‘trunks or junction cables and entrance cables (as installed at the Pacific Star Building in Makati) installation and construction practices will be covered in a separate book or Code on telephone Outside Plant practices. For limited building applications covering safety provisions on grounding, fire prevention, and clearances, etc, from electrical circuits and other communications circuits, see Art.9.7, pages 721 and 722 of PEC-85 (Philippine Electrical Code, Part 1, 1985 Edition, 1988 Issue). This Code is also meant to compliment the earlier-published "Philippine Electronics Code, Volume 1", which, in subsequent editions, will be integrated with this publication to form a combined "Philippine Electronics and Communications Code", ‘The initial public presentation as well as the implementation of this Code is expected to draw mixed reactions from new, regular, and old practitioners of the trade alike. It will therefore be deeply appreciated if favorable and/or unfavorable remarks, together with suggestions for further improvement (and with supporting documents if necessary) be officially transmitted in typewritien form to the incumbent Institute of Electronics and Communications Engineers of the Philippines (TECEP) Code Committee at its current address. All deficiencies or discrepancies, revisions or modifications, and new provisions will be evaluated, discussed, and subsequently reflected and/or incorporated in the next edition of this Code, Henceforth, new editions will be published and issued every five years starting with this 1993 Edition,(fe\MAJOR COMPONENTS OF BUILDING (CL) TELEPHONE SYSTEM / FACILITIES |, SERVICE ENTRANCE ‘2 MAN oROSS CONNECT PONT” MAN TERNAL GRBPET (MTC) OR MAN OSTREUTRNG FRAME OF) 3.

Plans, specifications, and bill of materials for the set-up shall be prepared, signed and sealed by a duly-registered Electronics and Communications Engineer. This is in accordance with Memorandum Circular No, 75-12, effective November 26, 1975, issued by the Bureau of Communications endorsing for compliance the detailed text of ECE Board Resolution No. 3 particularly, Section 3 on telephone installations. Furthermore, where maximum requirement exceeds three (3) lines but does not exceed five (5) lines, service entrance wiring facilities shall consist of individual paired dropwires and corresponding housing as specified in sub par. 3.4.1. However, where service demand requires maximum of more than five (5) lines, installation of entrance cable is necessary. In this ease, all buildings in the four categories listed under paragraph 1.2 shall be provided with service entrance require- ‘ments given under sub par. 3.4.2. The telephone company shall, at its own expense, furnish and install, in accordance with acceptable standards, the entrance cable facilities when available, up to the main cross-connecting point in the building or premises occupied by the applicant(s) or subscriber(s). Location and Method - The location and method of service entrance depends to some extent on the available or proposed route of cable feeder facilities The nearest telephone facility may be either aerial on a pole or underground ina manhole or service box. Route and Source - The telephone company shall determine the route of service entrance to the owner's property line and will designate the pole of manhole from which service will originate. Right-of-Way and Joint-Pole Agreement ~ If the service entrance requires routing inside a private property not owned by the applicanvsubscriber and/or ‘where attachments to any foreign-owned pole(s) is required, coordination shall first be made with the Telephone Company to find out if it has an existing applicable policy on this. If not and if necessary, coordination and complete assurance for a right-of-way permit andlor joint pole agreement from the owner(s) shall be secured before preparation of plans. This will preclude future alteration in plans for re-routing of lines should easements and/or joint pole proposals be disapproved by the particular owner, 3432 3.15 3.16 3.1.7 Bonding and Grounding ~ All telephone entrance cables entering subscriber buildings at the same location shall be bonded together and grounded to a common ground source. The length of the ground wire shall be as short as possible and continuous to provide @ low resistance path to the ground Furthermore, the continuity‘of the grounding path shall be maintained at all times. Service Entrance Terminations - Service entrance terminations, either in a ‘main terminal box or cabinet, or MDF shall not be placed below ground level or basement. Where the ground floor of a building has a lower elevation than the strect fronting or surrounding it, the terminal box or cabinet, or MDF shall be so placed that its bottom is at least 0.31 m above the street level Where this is not possible because of the housing size, the service entrance shall be terminated at the next higher floor. Other Entrance Conduit Specifications - See paragraphs 8.2.1 to 8.2.4 AERIAL ENTRANCE 32.1 3.2.2 3.23 3.24 ‘Telephone Company Installation - If the service entrance is aerial, the telephone company shall attach to the building or telephone/power pole or pedestal outside this building and install its entrance cable from the entry point to the main cross-connecting point through an entrance conduit, Location of Attachment - Aerial service entrance or attachment shall be on the side or comer of the building nearest the pole from which service shall be provided or as otherwise specified by the telephone company. ‘Clearances - Aerial service entrance or attachment shall be sufficiently high or 0 placed as to provide proper clearances from building openings, and over sidewalks, streets, or roadways in compliance with codes, regulations and/or ordinances. Refer to sub section 7.4 of the Philippine Electronics Code, ‘Volume 1. gis sevice bead or entry pot should be located nea (preferably res an above or Maximum Span and Stringing Tensions - Generally, the maximum span from the pole to building should be restricted to 30.5 meters. Sizes of strand and ‘maximum stringing tensions for such installation shall be as follows: ‘Size of ‘Approximate Stringing ‘Strand Tension (Kilos) 22M 136 60M mm 66M 2733.25 Dead-end Pole Guying’ - The dead-end pole in_pole-to-building spans should be guyed in accordance with standard guying procedures. A "false ead end" construction method is most preferable in this case since it allows ‘both head-guying and continuity of suspension strand from the last pole to the building attachment. 3.2.6 Exposed Cables” - All “exposed” cables entering buildings shall be grounded ‘as close as possible to the entrance point and should not exceed 15.25 lineal meters. Where a protected terminal shall be located mare than 15.25 lineal meters from the point of entry, an additional ground shall be placed as close to the entrance point on the cable as possible. Cable sheath or cable conductors shall be considered exposed when they are subject to possible contact with power wires operating at over 300 volts, the effects of lightning, a rise in ground potential, or low frequency induction in excess of 300 volts. Cables are considered unexposed when not subjected to ‘any of the conditions mentioned above, Figures 3-1 and 3-2 illustrate and define the general rules for grounding exposed entrance feeder cables in the building. ‘When an exposed plastic sheath feeder cable containing 404. pairs or less is spliced to a protected terminal inside a building, the spice shall be enclosed in a metallic splice case to provide an adequate current carrying capacity across the splice. On plastic sheath cables containing more than 404 pairs, either metallic or plastic splice closures may be applied. Where a plastic closure is used grounding shall be done on the ground lug of the protector or protector ground, 3.2.7 Unexposed Cables!’ - For unexposed cable, where the cable sheath is electrically continuous, the cable is considered adequately grounded if the cable is grounded to ‘an effectively grounded metallic terminal housing. Sheath continuity shall be maintained at all times. Figure 3-3 illustrates the rules for grounding unexposed feeder cable entering the building 3.28 Aerial Block Cable - For aerial block cable construction of service entrance, exposed” (see par. 3.2.6) cables, particularly where cable sheath is not flame-retardant (such as Alpeth), shall not be directly attached to walls or structures made of flammable material such as wood. Rigid metal conduit or ‘metal raceway shall be used in this case, Direct attachments may be made on + Seepars. 24 3, Sect. 627-610-208, Issue 2, June 1969, BELL System Practices, ATAT Co, Sid + Soo pars. 2,3 & 4, Section 631-460-200 of BELL Systems Practices Issue 1, Oct. 1, 1968, ATT STandard Y Socpars. 2& 3, Section 631-460-200 of Bll Syste Practices, Isue 1, October 1, 1968, ATAT Co, Standard 33masonry, concrete and building structures made of flame-retardant material In the selection of a suitable location on building walls for placing cable, the following should be considered.” » 2) 3) 4) ’ 0) D %) % 10) 1) 12) 13) Locate runs that will afford work to be done safely. Locate runs where appearance is least objectionable. Locate runs to minimize the amount of cable required but avoiding diagonal runs. Choose the path that will require a minimum number of bends. Locate cable where it will not be exposed to mechanical damage. ‘Do not attach eable to walls that appear to be temporary; masonry ‘walls rather than wood (where conduiting is required) are preferred. Do not locate vertical runs less than 0.61 m from projecting comers ‘and whenever practical in_ the inside angle formed by intersecting walls. On blak walls locate cables a minimum of 2.44. meters from ground. In alleyways where truck traffic occur, a higher attachment should be obtained. Avoid downspouts, pipes, fire escapes, ladder counter weights, ct (On masonry walls attachments to smooth surfaces rather than rough stone or concrete are preferable. In basements, avoid coal bins, ash pits, coal freight chutes and ‘grating. Avoid boilers, fire boxes, uncovered steam pipes and ‘gasoline engines. When it is necessary to place cable exposed to view within the finished portions of buildings where appearance is a factor, locate cable at ceiling or baseboard level. Locate vertical runs in comers to take advantage of moldings, beams, columns, etc. as aids in concealment. Do not place cables in locations where it will overhang swimming pools.

However, uncovered steam and hot water pipes, stationary metal gratings, etc. should also be considered because of excessive heat abrasions. 3.2.83 Tables 3-A and 3-B specify the minimum separations that are required ‘outside or inside buildings between telephone cable and foreign ‘conductors or metallic objects. 3.2.8.4 The minimum bending radius for block and house cable is computed ‘by multiplying the cable diameter by 6. Hence, if cable diameter is 25 ‘mm, bending radius shall be 150 mm." 3.2.85 The use of suspension strand is prefered to cable clamps when supporting longer runs of cable on outside walls. Fewer holes are required to be drilled and clearing obstruction such as drain pipes, wall projections, etc. is simplified with the use of suspension strand and wall brackets. Brackets should be spaced about 12 meters apart. Allowable sizes and tensioning of suspension sirand slong building walls should be as follows: Par. 1.15, Section 627-610-208 of BELL System Practices, Isue 2, June 1969, ATT Co, Standard ‘See par 202, Section 6274610-205 of BELL System Practices, Issue 2, June 1969, ATCT Co Standard ‘See par 5, Section 627-610-205 of BELL System Practices Issue 2, June 1969, ATAT Co, Sid. 352.2M STRAND SPAN :— (M) : SAG ; TENSION: SAG : TENSION 2 (M) (kg) ™) : (ke) 12: 0025; 84 0.05: 121 24: 0.05: 170 O10: 245 30.5 : 0.08 : 177 O15 : 255 37: 0.10 : 191 020; 277 4 J0ismeel7S e008. ; 273 Note : Due to considerable variation in strength of building stuctures the table above should be used only as a guide, To obtain spans long enough to attain the sags shown, it may be necessary to temporarily drop the strand from one or more intermediate supports during the tensioning operation, 3.2.8.6 Building-to-building spans should be limited to a maximum of 30.5 ‘meters in length, Care should be exercised in selecting a structure strong enough to withstand the strain of tensioned cable.

Riser housing systems are classified into two types: (I) riser shafts and (2) riser conduit, Riser shafts are basically 1 series of closets aligned vertically one above the other and interconnected by slots or short conduit sleeves through the floors in their extension to the top of the building. Riser conduit system is composed of a series of terminal boxes and/or cabinets, one on each floor or alternate floors, which are inter- connected by means of conduit. Riser cable system which may be entirely in conduit (conduit system) or through riser shafts is composed of the cable itself and terminals in which the riser cable pair complements are terminated. Generally one or both of the following methods of riser cable design shall be used: 1) Individual eable per floor 2) Multiple floors per cable For sizing of cable, and terminal complete with designations, cable counts and placements, refer to paragraph 4.4.1, In buildings where each floor or majority of floors are made up of several distinct divisions, or which have large distribution areas, two or more risers shall be provided, with each riser designed to serve a particular area around it ‘As an alternative, if found to be mote feasible and economical, a single riser cable in combination with a floor distribution cable (see par. 5.1.2, Section 5) for each floor or wherever applicable in a high density area in the building shall be resorted to. For the purpose of this Code, Riser System shall apply 10 all types of building (except one and two-storey residential buildings) where public telephone service facilities requirements exceed three (3) pairs or where service entrance facilities for any type of building require at least a cable or page for bibliography 41wiring housing system consisting of entrance conduits and a main terminal or cabinet. In locations where public telephone services are inaccessible or limited by costs andor security of line extensions, buildings requiring local or internal telephone communications services through a Private Automatic or Manual Exchange system shall also be regarded as Riser System-applicable structures. Apartments, townhouses, and garden homes, compounds and complexes consisting of different types of building shall also be considered as applicable locations although telephone services require the installation of outside plant cable distribution facilities instead of a purely building or house cable system, In this regard, the cable and/or wiring system for the compound ‘or complex shall be treated as an ordinary building or house cable system ‘configuration with the same basic requirements. 4.2 RISER CONDUIT 421 422 423 ‘A riser conduit system shall apply when up to six (6) 101 mm diameter riser conduits (including spares) will be required to house a total of not more than 2.400 pairs (ultimate demand) in any portion of one bunched riser route. Above this limit, riser shaft method shall be used, ‘The maximum limit of riser conduit system involves the use of a separate conduit for each cable or bunch of eables installed close to each other with each cable or cables in one conduit intended to serve a particular floor or group of successive floors. Conduits (including spare) of the topmost riser cable(s) serving the top floor(s) should not be made to terminate at the terminal housings of the lower riser cables. Hence, the next lower cable riser conduit run should also be kept clear of the lower riser cable terminal housings, etc. However, inthis scheme, 2 76 mm diameter (min.) tie conduit shall be provided petween the first and last terminal housings of the topmost and next lower riser cables, respectively, and similarly between the succeeding first and last terminal housings of the preceding and succeeding riser cables. Where there are only two cable riser runs in one riser route involving four conduits (including one spare conduit for each cable run) the two conduits of the higher riser cable may be made 10 terminate at all terminal housings (cabinets) - in common with the preceding lower riser cable conduit. However, the conduit terminations, two for each ‘cable run, shall be made at the top and bottom near opposite sides of the terminal cabinet. Ina riser conduit system, a spare conduit shall be provided between terminal cabinets or boxes to provide for future growth and for flexibility. Riser terminal housing shall be provided in each floor unless building layout and type of usage (hospitals, hotels, multi-storey residential apartmen's or condominiums, etc.) permit serving stations with station wiring from terminals on alternate or at least every two (2) floors or from a main cable terminal in the ground floor. 4243 424 425 Elevator shafts, hoistways, dumbwaiters and escalators shall not be used to house telephone facilities or conduits except to provide telephone service to the elevator cab, Where the attendant’ console, turret, or cabinet of a PBX system shall be located on an upper floor and the associated PBX equipment shall be located ‘on a lower floor with the main cross connecting terminal, a separate conduit for the PBX cable between the former and the latter shall be provided (See also par. 14.5). ‘The same scheme shall also apply where the former and the Tater shall be placed in separate rooms of the same floor. RISER SHAFT 43 432 433 434 435 43.6 437 438 All riser shaft installations shall be fire-stopped ot fire-proofed excent where cables with fire-resistant sheaths are used (See sub. par. 4.4.2.6). Where use of slots presents a very difficult fire-stopping problem, sleeves shall be used. Fire stops around cables in used sleeves may consist of a packing of asbestos or fiberglass with a thin topping of water plug cement or equivalent. Unused sleeves shall be sealed for fire-proofing purposes. ‘One sleeve shall be provided for each riser cable that can ultimately be ‘expected plus one extra sleeve for emergency use, Sleeves shall be a minimum of 101 mm inside diameter. Sleeves shall extend 51 mm above the floor level and shall be effectively sealed with fire-proof material including those with cable in them as ‘mentioned in par. 4.3.1 Slots shall be a minimum of 0.10m wide and 0.31m long, and surrounded by ‘curb of 0.025m to 0,0Sm high. This measurement will provide for three large-size riser cables; hence, the length shall be inereased by 0.10 m for each additional riser cable contemplated to be placed during the life of the building. Riser shafts or closets shall not be used jointly with gas, water oF steam pipes ‘or such other foreign services Where closets of riser shafis are not aligned above each other, a raceway system or conduits of adequate size shall be provided for the offset False ceilings shall not be constructed in riser closets, In addition to satisfying fire code requirements where floor slots are provided, this additional space is often required for cable bends. In office-type buildings which have more than one riser closet on each floor, @ ‘minimum SImm diameter tie conduit between closets shall be provided. 4344 4.3.9. Riser shafts may be open (no built-in closet) if located in a common utility room or part of building restricted to authorized persons only. 43.10 In open riser shafts, all telephone cable terminals shall be enclosed in terminal cabinets is or boxes, Cables and splices may be exposed and fastened to walls. through a 19mm thick wooden backboard or secured to a cable rack. (See sub. par. 4.4.2.8) RISER CABLE 44.1 DESIGN ~ Riser cable design shall include the following y 2) 3) 4 x Determination of load per floor; Determination of size of terminals(s) to serve each floor or series of floors; Sizing of riser cable to serve a given number of terminals without exceeding the prescribed maximum pai limitation (606 pairs) per riser cable run, ‘Numbering, designation, and count of terminals and cabl Requirement of PBX (manual or automatic) system and other related communication systems, ‘The determination of load per floor differs in treatment for the following classification of buildings: ) 2) 3) 44.1.1 Class A - office buildings, commercial types of condominiums and other types of building where floor occupancy and type, a8 well as number of occupants are unpredictable (specially where floor partitioning and room designations are not shown in architectural plans); Class B - Any type of building with definite occupancy or occupants, ‘complete with architectural plans showing floor partitioning and room designations. Class C - Any type of building with definite occupants in some floors cr floor areas and indefinite occupants in other floors or floor areas. For Class A Building, future changes and rearrangements in ‘occupants or occupancy are inevitable. Design of rset cable therefore depends upon a reliable demand forecast of services and corresponding, pair requirements, The forzeast is 444412 44.13 usually given as applicable to the same type, us series of buildings or areas in a compound or complex ‘consirued as the ultimate requirementof the area. At! ‘of Code standards development, the FDF prescribed by Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) should be used, Refer to page 5.3 (particularly, for office buildings) of the 1984 issue of the PLDT Building Telephone Facilities ‘Standards Manual. Foreign standards prescribed for their particular areas of operations outside the Philippines should not be used For Class B buildings FDF is not applicable although it may be ‘used by the Engineer/Designer to counter-check his work for statistics purposes. Complete architectural plans showing floor partitions and room or area usage or designations, acceptable oad assumptions for each room, unit, of area, and proper coordination with authorized/knowledgeable representative(s) of offices occupying a large floor area or multi-floors of a building, are basic requirements for determining (with a more ‘acceptable degree of accuracy than the FDF Method) the floor andior building communication services requirements. Using the floor plan(s) as work sheet(s) line requirements for each room or floor area are directly plotted therein and counted. This method of the line requirement building floor is called the or Basic information direct from future users can also be direc obtained or derived by the Engineer/Designer to conduct feasibility and economic studies on the use of a PBX system and integrating all other systems services such as : EDP or computer, INTERCOM, TELEX, FAX, etc, into the telephone cable and wiring system of the building. It shall be incumbent upon the Engineer/Designer to strongly suggest or recommend | officially in writing favorable results of his studies to any particular client. i ‘eto For Class C buildings, the DCM and FDF method are respeciively applied on a case-to-case basis, 45Note For high-density floor areas requiring a floor distribution cable or wiring cable system see Sections 5 and 6 respectively to determine applicability and facilities requirements for the former or the latter. i) Name in print, signature, seal, and Registration number of the E.C.E, Designer. ‘Mult-storey Building 4) Name of Building; Classification; Address of Location: Owner (on frst page only) b) Floor Requirement 1) Floor involved and name of occupant(s) 2) Area in square meters (optional for Class B building) 3) Rentable floor area ~ 80% of floor for Class A building; optional for Class B building 4) Pair Density Factor (For Class A building only) 5) Basic line requirement - product of (c) and (a) A building, itemized es required for various communication services divided by 0.85 (85%).

Terminal Number Designation and Count - Terminal numbering shall be in the successive numerical sequence starting with no. | for the MTC or MDF and progress up to or toward the farthest point of the system (topmost terminal point ‘of a building or last terminal point of a floor distribution system or outside plant cable network). In a building, this rule assumes that the MTC or MDF js located at the ground or sezzanino. floor. Hommes sans tieaaen papier point be located at an upper floor, say the second floor (as being enforced by PLDT Co.), Terminal no. 2 shall be below ‘or at the ground floor and no. 3, atthe third floor, etc. Where the building has one or more basement levels, the first level shall be numbered according to the terminal number above it followed by a dash or hyphen and the number 1; The second level - by the same number but followed by 2. The third, the same number followed by 3. For example, if Terminal No. 1 (MDF or MTC) is at the ground floor, basement level | terminal shall be numbered T-I-1, level 2: T-1-2 and level 3: T-1.3, Ifthe MDF or MTC is a the second floor so that T-2 is at the ground floor, basement levels 1 to 3 in the example ‘given above shall correspondingly be numbered: 7-2-1, T-2-2 and 7-23. ‘Terminal count shall be in the numerical group sequence and ‘based on the size of a terminal or group of terminals. The first group count shall start at the farthest point and progress towards the MTC or MDF. To illustrate, if a four storey building has a 26-pair terminal each at the second to fourth floors and four (4) 26-pair terminals at the ground floor or MTC, the Terminal numbering and counts shall be : T-4, 1-26; T-3, 26-51; T-2, 51-76; T-1, 1-101; respectively for the fourth, third, second and ground floors.

Size, Designation and Count of Cable - The sizing of cable in a building or in a telephone outside plant network should be done after determining the standard size(s) of terminal(s) for cach floor or load section/area respectively. Asa rule, the size of a cable section in a tapered or untapered cable design, shall not be less and preferably equal to (assuming that all allowances for service insurance and latent growth have been incorporated) the size(s) of terminal(s) it shall serve, The rule includes the proper sizing of the main feeder cable t0 be terminated at the MTC or MDF. In cases where a cable to be used is oversized (as it is the only one available) its actual size together with open, unterminated or excess pairs, shall be indicated as DEAD (D'D) pairs in the works sheet(s) and plan(s). For example, a 400-pair cable with only 300 pairs terminated shall be shown, to wit: 400, 0.50 mm, 1-300, 100 pairs D'D. Where tapering of riser cable is not allowed by this Code (for flexibility specially for Class A buildings), only one size in one run shall be installed between the first and the last terminals. Tapering is a method of reducing the size of a cable to the next smaller or smallest size by means of splicing the 41344.19 latter to the former. For a Class A building a 101-pair cable shall not be tapered all along the run; 202 pairs shall be tapered by only half its size once, preferably, at the middle of the run; 303 pairs may be tapered three times in increments of 100 pairs; etc, For a Class B building 51 pairs may be tapered by hal size; 101 pairs thrice - from 101 to 76, 76 to 51, and 51 to 26. Tapering shall be in increments of 25 pairs (minimum). In a tapered or untapered design a cable section of one size is identified and described (the section run) through the two terminal numbers at its extremities. Each cable run terminated at the MTC or MDF shall be designated as HC (House Cable) followed by a number starting with 1 for the first cable, 2 for the second, and 3 for the third: i.e, im the successive numerical sequence. In an outside plant network HC may be omitted or only the number shall be used as its designation. All other subsidiary cables or cable sections spliced directly or indirectly to the main feeder shall have the same designation as the latter. Cable count shall be in a continuous numerical group sequence throughout the cable system, irrespective of the difference in cable designation or numbering. For example, if a house cable system involves three separate runs of cable terminated at the MDF, the cable serving the farthest or highest terminal number shall be designated HC1. If it is a 600-pair cable its count shall be 1-600. It shall then be indicated in the wworksheet(s) and plan(s) as HCI, 1-600. HC2 shall then be assigned to the second cable which shall serve the next group of terminals (starting with a terminal number next to the last terminal number of the first group), and the cable count shall begin with 60L If the second cable is 600 pairs its complete designation and count shall be HC2, 601-1200. Hence if the third cable is 400 pairs it shall be identified as HC3, 1201-1600, Cable designation and counts for @ high rise! density building shall be as shown in Fig. 4-5. For an integrated cable system see sub par. 44.2.10. ‘The proliferation of private compounds encompassing groups of one to three-storey Townhouse, Garden Home, Condo- rminium or Apartments particularly in the Metro Manila area necessitated the formulation of methods or procedures for determining the telephone communication facility require- ments of the three area classifications to which they belong, Although telephone cable facilities to serve the area consist of purely outside plant installations the procedures or methods 414used in the design is the same as in the riser cable system, The similarity (except for engineering) between the two systems is established by regarding the compound as a single multi-storey building and each component building floor, and because the type of occupants are definite the former can be classified as a Class B building To compute the line or pair requirements of each building (which ate summed up to determine the total requirements of the area) load assumptions were made. The assumptions were based on actual applications and projections. However, at this stage of methods development application, full reliance on their accuracy is not recommended, although they may be applied. At this point, the load assumptions were made to serve as an example in the computation of line requirements of the private compound.

However, these shall be reviewed by the operating, telephone companies concemed. The incumbent Code Committee of IECEP, through the Department of Transportation and Communications shall then be officially informed of any significant and justifiable change in figures or area of application, 4.4.1.9.1 The basic pair or line requirement of building is computed simply by multiplying the number of units therein by the load required per unit according, to the type of unit and area classification, 44.192 Size and type of terminal - determination of these depend upon the type of installation; i. aerial or underground (buried or in conduit) For aesthetics and maintenance reasons, service drops from pole-mounted terminals of an aerial installation should preferably be from terminal to unit only. Maximum limit is one (1) pole- to-pole span. Maximum size of terminal shall be 25(26) pairs and a minimum of 6 pairs. A terminal may serve more than one building. ‘Where a pole-mounted terminal is not protected ceach unit shall be provided with station protec- tor. In underground installations, a terminal may be mounted in rain or weatherproof ground pedestal or in a weatherproof metal terminal cabinet mounted on either a concrete perimeter wall or fence or on a conerete slab built for the Purpose, Where direct buried type of station wiring shall be used it. shall be_ terminated directly at the terminal. However, for terminals mounted on cabinets, the wiring shall be in conduit from an underground minimum depth 41644.26 4427 4428 44.29 442.10 45 RISER WIRING Where open riser shafts are involved the cable sheath shall be fire-resistant. Cables with lead or polyvinyl chloride sheath (with inner metal sheath) shall be used, However, where riser cable is housed entirely within non-combustible conduit such as between metal cabinets, ALPETH or any approved type of ‘cable with combustible sheath may be used. Wires and cables for power and communication circuits may be installed in the same shaft or closet provided that adequate separation is maintained between light, power, signal and control circuits and communication circuits as specified in Table 3-B, Tn all cases of riser shaft construction, riser cable shall appro- priately be supported by strapping the cables to a 19 mmm thick Pressure-treated lumber backboard or by installing a vertical cable rack and lashing the cables to the rack with cable tis. The rack shall be constructed to accommodate all possible riser cable, with the cables lashed to the rack at each cross member. In riser shaft installation when multiple cable sheath design is ‘employed, the cables serving the top floors shall be placed on the extreme left hand side of the rack or om the backboard, with subsequent cables being lashed from left to right. This will climinate crossover in the cables or stubs when terminating (to the right). For an integrated cable system consisting of INTERCOM and/or computer or data lines, one system alone or a combination of both shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the ordinary house cable pair requirements. Otherwise, separate cable and conduit systems for one only or both systems shall be provided. Furthermore, the pair requirement forthe foreign systemis) shall be fully dedicated and confined to at least a complete 25-pair binder group in S-pair multiples (complete from blue to slate). If the requirements of one or both exceeds 25 pairs, the next binder in the color code series of the riser or distribution cable shall be used. Excess pairs in the binder shall be used for the ordinary house cable system. If a building floor requirement is fifteen (15) pairs or more, a Separate terminal or terminals shall be provided and fully dedicated to the foreign systems. 4.5.1 For hotels, motels, residential type of condominiums and apartments, jacketed 418type #22 AWG, 3 or 4-conductor station wiring and/or standard color-coded, PVC non metal sheathed Interior type wiring cable (in lieu of riser cable with terminals) may be used for riser wiring system. Installation of the former ‘may be started from the main cross-connecting terminal or from any riser ‘terminal in the upper floors. Each conduit homerun shall contain a maximum ‘of ten (10) pairs. Each pair and bunched group of pairs shall be respectively identified or tagged per sub par. 7.3.1-(2) and par. 73.2. Where the latter wiring is used, tagging of each pair is not necessary but the cable shall be identified according to sub par. 7.3.1-(1). Each wiring cable run shall not exceed fifty (50) pairs in one sheath. Furthermore, a 150 mm x 150 mm x 76 mm. (min) junction box shall be provided for each floor to be served by the wiring cable. The box shall be the place for directly splicing homerun station wiring pairs for the particular floor or next floor(s) above or below. For this type of riser wiring instalation the total building requirement shall not exceed one hundred (100) pairs or lines if the former wiring shall be directly terminated at the main panel box and one hundred fifty (150) pairs if the latter shall be used for direct termination. Unstubbed, unprotected, terminal blocks (or strips) or preferably "Quick-connect” type of terminal or approved equivalent shall be used for termination/cross-connection of the ‘wirings at the Main Terminal Cabinet. 1) For the same type of buildings mentioned above distribution terminals ‘may be placed in accessible hallways or service area locations in the ‘ground floor and separate station wirings and conduits extended directly upwards to units above. Where possible, terminal spacing shall be such that only the units immediately adjacent to and above a given terminal will be served from that terminal 4.5.2 The same type of station wiring and/or wiring cable as in par. 4.5.1, in lieu of riser cable/terminals, may be considered for use in customer-owned or leased and occupied building floors of a building with a maximum of four (4) floors. ‘One or combination of both types of wiring (one after the other starting with the latter or both) may originate from a main terminal cabinet in the ground floor,and shall be installed as follows 2) Where only jacketed station wiring shall be used throughout, no more than twenty-five (25) pairs shall be used to serve all four floors. Each ‘homerun conduit shall contain no more than ten (10) pairs. b) Where PVC Interior type wiring cable shall be installed from the main ‘terminal cabinet up to riser cabinet in one of the upper floors, and where the succeeding floors shall be served through jacketed type station wiring, each floor to be serviced by the former wiring shall be provided with a 150mm x 150mm x 76mm (min.) junction box for the same purpose as stated in par. 4.5.1. The latter type of wiring which will serve the succeeding upper floors shall not exceed ten (10) pairs 419° a ° in one conduit home run, No spare conduit is required for each run, However, to ensure that additional wiring cable could be accommo- dated in the future, minimum size of conduit for the wiring cable shall be 51 mm diameter. Maximum size of wiring cable for the total requirements of the building shall be fifty (50) pairs in one or two sheaths. Where only PVC non-metal sheathed wiring cable shall be used throughout the riser run, the provision of a junction box for each floor, minimum size of conduit of $1 mm diameter, and a maximum size of $50 pairs in one or two sheaths as mentioned in sub par. (b) above shall apply. Both types of station wiring may be pulled in one conduit provided that the jacketed type shall not exceed ten (10) pairs and that a spare ‘511mm diameter conduit shall be provided along the run. Unstubbed/unprotected type of terminal blocks (strips) or preferably, "Quick-Connect" type or approved equivalent shall be used for termination/cross-connection at the Main Terminal Cabinet. 4.6 SPECIAL EQUIPMENT CLOSET OR ROOM 46.1 Buildings or floors that require special facilites such as key telephone equipment, auxiliary power, PBX equipment, etc. need more wall space and depth that can be provided in a cabinet. In these cases, a closet or separate room shall be provided. Coordinate with equipment supplier to determine appropriate sizes. References: PLDTCO.

Floor distribution cable should be placed where the size and shape of the floor area, station density, and location of riser cable or main cross-connecting terminal make it more economical and easier to install than long extensions of station wire or another riser. Refer to sub. paragraph 6.1.12-3, Floor distribution cable shall be sized on the basis of providing for the estimated or foreseeable ultimate requirements (including service assurance pairs) of the building floor area to be served. ‘Where floor distribution cable plant shall be provided for a large building area which extends a relatively long distance from the main cable or cross- connection point, and where several or all distribution terminals on the floor shall be served from single distribution cable, cable size should be limited to 400 pairs. For new installations, size of floor distribution cable of up to 100 pairs shall not be diminished in its entire length, nor shall pairs be multipled at termination points, For an existing cable system, multipling may be considered where requirements for relief of cable facilities may be fully or ppantally covered by spare pairs in any available distribution cable. When any building requiring extensive key system services is encountered, coordinate with the telephone equipment supplier for eabling and termination requirements Direct connection or splice of floor distribution cable to riser cable shall be restricted to apartment and hotel type buildings only. In other types of building cross-connection with the associated riser cable shail be effected by ‘means of eross-connecting terminai(s). Referens : Sect. 916-300-070, Isue I, May 1962, GT & E Standard/Generl Sytem Practices s1$2 53 34 5.1.8 Integrated floor distribution system including INTERCOM and. data communication requirements shall be limited to 25 pairs each or 50 pairs for ‘only one (1) applicable system. Beyond this limit, a separate cable and ‘conduit system for one or both systems shall be provided. Full dedication of pairs for the foreign systems shall be the same as prescribed in sub. par. 4.42.10 (Riser System). CONDUIT 5.2.1 Refer to Section 8 for specifications on conduit for housing floor distribution cable ‘TERMINAL HOUSING (CABINET OR BOX) 53.1 Floor distribution terminal housing should preferably be centrally located with respect to areas they will serve. Table 9-C and 9-D give the different sizes of housing for different sizes of cable and terminals, 5.3.2. The terminal housing shall be built into or mounted on the building st and connecting conduit run shall be installed through the floor or ceiling to ‘the appropriate riser closet or terminal cabinet, 5.33. Terminal housing should preferably be placed in hallways and corridors for easy access, and where possible, associated conduits should be installed on bearing walls and columns (walls and columns may be built out if necessary) to avoid future rearrangements. Cabinets shall not be placed in washrooms or ‘behind doors which open toward the cabinets. 1 ND. IL 5.4.1 Limitations and tolerances in sizing and selection of terminals for floor distribution shall be the same as those for riser cable terminations specified in sub-par. 4.4.1.6, 4.4.24 and 4.4.2.5. 5.4.2 Where a floor distribution terminal shall be located in the same room with the M.DE,, the former shall be stubbed out and terminated in the appropriate size of a separate connector terminal on the MDF. All station wiring shall then be terminated in the floor distribution terminal. Where the terminal shall be placed on any type of wall (wood, concrete, ctc.), pressure-treated wooden backboard shall first be provided for direct attachment of the terminal, 52SECTION 6 STATION WIRING SYSTEMS CONDUIT OR HOUSING SYSTEMS. 614 General Design Considerations 1) Station wiring housings shall be designed to accommodate installation of all types of commonly used telephone station facilities and systesns including PBX stations, key telephone stations with their various features, etc. Determination of wiring requirements at each outlet location shail be prerequisite to proper sizing, particularly, of a telephone station conduit system, 2) In an office building where room partitions and station or service locations are subject to constant change or rearrangements, and where station density is expected to range from 100 to 200 per 1000 square ‘meters of rentable‘usable floor area, underfloor duct housing system (See Figs. 6-7A to C; G-8; G9, G-I0A & C) or telephone and power over-eiing wiring system may be considered for use, For much higher densities, cellular floor system (See Figs. 6-10B & 6-11) may likewise be considered for maximum flexibility and aesthetical value rather than initial cost. Minimum and Maximum Sizes Minimum size of conduit for use in an office type building or floors used for office shall be 19 mm diameter. For apartments, hotels, residential condominiums and hospitals minimum shall be 12.7 mm diameter. The maximum size of conduit for over-ceiling installation shall be 51_mm diameter; for underfloor conduit 25 mm diameter. For underfloor ducts homerun conduit should be 32 mm diameter. Length and Number of Bends ‘The maximum length of a single conduit run between junction boxes shall be 27.5 meters. The maximum allowable mamber of 90 degree bends per run is two. Homerun Conduit Adequate approved size conduit homeruns to terminal housing or closet shail bbe provided for ull floor and/or over-ceiling wiring systems. 61Flexible Conduit In no case shall flexible conduit be used for station wiring or wiring cable housing, except where it shall be used in lengths of not more than 1.83 meters for overceiling wiring systems. Conduit for Special Services Cable ‘Where wiring cable shall be used for special services such as key systems and other multiline systems, size of conduits to be used shall be based on outside diameter of cable, length of run, and number of bends. See Table 8-C. Pull and Junction Boxes Station wiring pull and junction boxes, particularly those placed inside ceiting space shall be accessible at all times. "Poke-through" "Poke-through" or a system in which wiring cables or station wires are placed “within the ceiling space and poked up through the fire-resistant floor structure to the office above shall not be applied. In many cases this system violates all fire codes by making a shaft available for fire, gases, and smoke to go from floor to floor. This also allows the drainage of water into occupied floor arca when fire fighting operations occar above. Furthermore, occupants on one floor do not want to be disturbed by telephone workmen trying to provide or mainfain service to occupants on the floor above. As an exception to the application of the "poke-through" system is where overhead and/or perimeter wiring installations are impossible or will result in ugly installations disagreeable to the owner and’or lessee ofthe building or part of the building, ‘or where underfloor conduit duct run could not be done properiy without ‘damaging the expensive floor finishing (e.g. marble) at the first floor of an existing building. "Poke-through" may therefore be considered under the conditions given above, provided that proper permission for future installation ‘and maintenance, in writing, is first granted by the building owner and/or the ‘management of the affected offices or floor, and that proper measures are taken to make the conduit installations smoke/water-leak-proof and fireproof without degrading the fire rating of the floor. Where perimeter wiring is possible in the floor above, a method of conduiting in the ceiling of the floor ‘below is as shown in Fig. 6-1 Conduit Capacities Conduit capacities for station wiring shall be as shown in Table 8-C.6.1.10 Underfloor Conduit 1) Underfloor conduit run (See Figs. 6-2 A to C) should be used under conditions of limited or low station density floor areas and where such requirements are not likely to change or requite rearrangements in service location such asin hotels, apartments, hospitals, and residential type of condominiums, or in offices where specific locations and. number of stations per location are well defined. Ordinary 100 mm x 100 mm square or octagonal pulljunction box ‘with square and round covers respectively may be used for station outlets. Square, 150mm x 150 mm pull box with square cover may ‘be used for tapping or jointing point for station wiring and wiring cable pairs 2) Floor areas of hospitals, apartments, or hotel buildings, areas for offices, lobbies, stores, etc., shall have underfloor conduit run for station wiring facilities planned on a more liberal and flexible basis. ‘To attain this, outlet groups may be interconnected to other runs. (See Fig. 6-20) 6.1.11 Underfloor Duets or Raceways Underfloor ducts o raceways (See Figs. 6-7 10 6-15) may be used wi installed beneath the surface of concrete or other flooring material, oF in office occupancies, when laid flush with concrete and covered with linoleum fr equivalent floor covering. Underfloor metal raceways shall not be used if Subject to corrosive vapors, in any hazardous location, in commercial garages, nor storage battery rooms. Methods of installation shall be prescribed by the ‘manufacturer ofthe type-approved product. 6.1.12 Over-ceiling Conduit 1) Asan alternative to underfloor conduits, rigid metallic conduit (RSC or IMC) may be installed overhead between the ceiling and the ‘underside of the floor above. See Fig. 6-1. Conduit runs along walls ‘and wooden room partitions and baseboards, and/or in combination with underfloor and/or ceiling runs are other feasible alternatives, Because of its flexibility, accessibility and almost unrestricted ‘unobstructed space for installation overhead runs should be preferred to underfloor routing. 2) Adequate approved size of conduit homeruns to riser terminal housing or closet shall be provided for all floor and/or over-ceiling wiring systems. For over-ceiling (above ceiling space) installations, a bunch or vidual pairs of jacketed type, 3 or 4-conductor station wiring, in 633) ‘metallic conduit (if located in ceiling plenum) from different station ‘outlet locations in the floor below may be installed so as to converyc in one common pull or junction box (200 mm x 100 mm-min.), These wirings may be placed in only one conduit homerun - from’ the pull box to the riser terminal housing if the number of wiring docs not ‘exceed 10 lines (or pairs) in one homerun conduit. For more than ten (10) total homerun pairs, standard color-coded, PVC-interior type, wiring cable o equivalent (not exceeding 50 pairs in one sheath), in ‘the appropriate size of conduit, shall be used for the homerun portion of the installation. In the latter case, jointing of station wiring to wiring cable pairs shall be made at the junction box (min. size: 200mm x 200 mm x 100 mm). A spare homerun conduit for wiring cable may not be provided if only one wiring cable is needed in the initial installation and that minimum sizes of conduit homeruns are 38 ‘mm diameter and $1. mm diameter respectively, for use with 25-pair and 51-pair wiring cable. Overhead or over-ceiling installation to serve a floor area requiring more than thirty (30) pairs (including multiples or extensions to be made at the riser terminal) and/or which need more than three (3) - 32, mm diameter homerun conduits (excluding spare) if used with Jacketed type, 3 or 4-conductor, #22 AWG station wiring shall be designed for floor distribution facilites that will make use of standard color-coded, interior type, non-shield wiring cable or equivalent (See Fig. 6-1). The latter installations shall be limited to a total of 150 homerun lines or pairs. Above the limit, floor distribution cable installation (Section 5) shall apply. 8) Conduit (See Table 8-C) shall be sized s0 as to allow ample room for pulling in another wiring cable in it in the future, for maintenance and/or relief by reinforcement purposes. If this ‘main conduit which shall be run above and along the loading ‘zone it is designed to serve, has space only for the initial number of cable runs or shall contain more than one cable run so that pulling another one in the future would be difficult, a spare 38 mm diameter (min.) shall be provided alongside it. b) When separate runs of conduit above each discrete loading zone and sub zones shall be made to converge in a centrally located junction or pull box before the respective contents (wiring ‘cables) of each are "homed" to the riser terminal housing, a single conduit homerun for the cables may be used, However, a spare homerun conduit shall be provided as follows : 1) 32mm diameter if initial homerun cables consist of two (2) - 25 pair wiring cables; 6-44) +d 6) 2) 38mm diameter if initial homerun cables consist of three (3) -25 pair wiring cables; 3) Simm diameter if initial cable run consist of two (2) 51 pair wiring cables; or one (1) 51 ~ pair and one (1) 25 - pair wiring cables. A series of junction or pull box(es) interconnected by the main conduit ‘and each respectively placed above the approximate center of a discrete loading sub zone or cable pulling points shall be spaced and sized, as follows : 8) Where it shall be used as a junction box (access to wire joints ‘between the wiring cable pairs and station wiring pairs) it shall be placed not more than five (5) conduit lengths (3 meters per length) from the next box(es). Size of the box to accommo- date wiring pair connections shall be: 200mm x 200mm x 100mm for housing up to five (5) lines only; 250mm x 250mm x 100mm for accommodating more than five (5) but not more than fifteen(15) lines; 300mm x 300 mm x 100mm for more than fifteen (15) lines ) Where it shall be used as a pull box between the riser terminal housing and a loading zone, spacing shall not exceed six (6) 3emeter conduit lengths. If it shall be placed in a loading zone projection - above a blank or no load area between loading Zones, it shall be placed at a point between loading zone junction boxes not less than three (3) but not more than six (6) ‘conduit lengths from each of the latter. If the upper limit shall bbe exceeded another pull box shall be installed. ‘Telephone junction or pull boxes installed above the ceiling shall be ‘made of 18 gauge (min.) steel and preferably provided with concentric knockouts at three points of the four sides for 13mm diameter, 32mm diameter, 38mm diameter and $1mm diameter conduits. The 13mm diameter’ knockout shall be fitted with PVC adapter, and locknut bushing, if used for entry of station wirings. If placed with other foreign conduit installations, the box shall be painted (preferably yellow if not duplicated) with a single 51 mm wide stripe on the ‘accessible side or cover. The cover shall be placed facing the access point to the box; ic, facing the floor if using "Tee" runners for drop Ceiling construction, facing the lighting cove if access is through it, or face up if way of approach is above the ceiling itslf. Over-ceiling Wiring System for telephone and power (See Fig, 6-5 and 6-6) may be modified and adapted for use only with telephone Wiring in this country. In combination with over-ceiling wiring concepts mentioned in sub-paragraphs 6.1.12-2 and 6.1.12-3, metal 65Faceways to provide routing and housing of individual wiring to stations in the floor below may be rectangular, hollow, aluminum or stainless steel, electrical metallic tubing, or rigid steel conduit, Appropriate wiring outlets and fittings shall be provided. — For aesthetic purposes, the tubing and conduit should be painted with the most desirable color, 6.1.13 Surface Raceways 1) Surface floor ducts and floor molding constitute a potential safety hazard and shall not be used except as a last resort where no other arrangements can be provided. However, in no instance shall floor duct or molding be installed across floor in passageways leading to exits or fire escapes and principal passageways of any room. 2) In existing buildings, where concealed raceways are not provided or where it is not feasible to provide station connection by any other ‘means such as from the eeling, below, ete, and where station wiring would otherwise be exposed, surface-mounted housings such as metal, plastic or wood moulding may be used 3) Raceways shall be installed along the shortest inconspicuous path t0 location of serving facilities with particular precaution to avoid ai ‘or walking areas with heavy traffic, 4) Surface-mounted raceways may be made of metal, wood, plastic, rubber, or other material, depending upon location of installation and requirements of local regulations and ordinances. 6.1.14 Other Methods 1) Infinite Access Floor (See Fig. 6-16 & 6-17) wiring shall be entirely conduited using electrical metalic tubing or rigid metal conduit for ample protection against rat bites. Bonding and grounding continuity Shall be maintained at all times, particularly where the space is also ‘used for electrical installations. ‘The pattem of conduiting may be made similar to the over-ceiling system concept. 2) Other methods of conduit and raceway system may be utilized for station wiring distribution methods subject to a written approval by the IECEP Code Committee responsible for formulating this Code. 62 STATION WIRING 6.2.1 Station wiring includes the wire facilities or wiring cables from the station apparatus to the point of connection with the building riser or floor 66623 624 625 626 627 distribution cable. To determine the number of conductors or pairs required per station, specially where key systems, PABX systems with special features for use in first class hotels, and hospitals, or any other special apparatus are involved, coordinate with the equipment supplier. This information is also ‘very important in the design for sizing of the house cable facilities. Station wiring shall not be placed in pipe, conduit or compartments containing clecttical wires of cables, nor in the same outlet box, junction box oF ‘compartment unless separated by a suitable partition. Use of jacketed type, 3 or 4-conductor, station wiring shall be limited to 25 lines for direct terminations, or 30 lines including extensions or multiples, 10 ‘be made at the riser terminal housing, for a section or entire floor area being served from one riser ot floor distribution terminal. Use PVC, Interior type, nomshielded, standard color-coded wiring cable or equivalent for the homerun portion of the wiring if limit shall be exceeded. Individual station wires of the jacketed type shall not be direetly terminated or connected to MDF connector blocks, Connections to riser and floor Gistribution cable pairs shall be made through the proper terminal. However, if wiring cable (interior type-shielded, or switchboard type) is used for riser ‘andlor station distribution wiring, direct connections with jacketed type ‘Station wirings using compression type wire connectors shall be made at riser ‘andlor distribution junction box. Furthermore, terminal terminations of the ‘wiring cable pairs shall be made at only one point - either atthe main terminal cabinet or riser terminal box, of cabinet. ‘Each station wire should as much as possible be continuous or should not be jointed in its entire length, Where multipling is called for, or where wire jointing is unavoidable, approved type of wire connectors shall be used. e-8. jelly-filled compression type-with the prescribed crimping tool Station wiring cable shall be limited to SI-pairs maximum (0.5 or 0.65 mm diameter) in one sheath where it shall be used with overhead andor ‘underfloor ducts or where it shall be installed in a separate conduit for use with special equipment such as key systems equipments, etc. Where larger than $1 pairs in one sheath is required for special equipment, suitable conduit or equivalent housing facility shall be provided. PVC, interior type, non-shielded, standard color-coded station wiring cable or fcquivalent shall ‘be used in header ducts or under floor raceways. Pair Camponents and/or complement extensions of the wiring cable using jacketed type station wiring and/or color-coded, paired, twisted telephone wiring (preferably switehboard cable wiring with paired color coding) shall be used Te the lateral ducts. Tapping and jointing wiring pairs shall be done in junction boxes at duct intersections, using jelly-filled wire connectors. Cut 67628 629 62.10 62.11 62.12 ‘An. 5.1, page 184, P ends of wiring cable in underfloor duct shall be properly capped with plastic tape of equivalent to prevent seepage of water. Telephone conduits and/or raceways to rooms or outlets for ordinary tele pphone sets shall be wired with appfoved telephone twisted or parallel pair ‘wires, oF twisted triple wires not smaller than 0.5 mm diameter nor bigger than 0.65 mm diameter with rubber or plastic insulation, See also par. 15.4 Telephone wires to each room or outlet shall be properly tagged or color- coded to facilitate new connection and future maintenance, Where color- coded wiring cable is used, tagging is not necessary. However, in both cases, a Station Facility Assignment Sheet shall be prepared. See Section 7 for Identification and Recording of Station Wiring Facilities. All station wiring pairs (jacketed or from wiring cable) shall be terminated at their designated riser or floor distribution terminals, However, ifthe number of pairs exceed the number of terminal lugs or slots (for modular type or Quick Conet-66 type terminals) sparelunasigned pars shall be tested as follows 1) Unterminated excess pairs shall be coiled for at least 150mm in diameter, wrapped with #22 or #23 Scotch tape and placed in a comer of the terminal cabinet where it will not obstruct or hamper any work to be done therein, or 2) Provide special covered compartment in terminal cabinet for the subject pairs which will be coiled and taped as stated above. Ample allowance shall be provided in the conductor leads inside terminal cabinets or closets to ensure a neat installation. Allowance shall be based on location of conduit entry point, size of terminal cabinet, and size ot type and location of homerun terminal, A liberal allowance may consider length of wiring from point of conduit entry to approximate location of its homerun terminal passing approximately 150 mm from and along the side(s) of the rectangular terminal cabinet. ‘Only mineral-insulated (MI)-metal-sheathed cable, ype MC (Metal-Clad) and cables/wirings having adequate fire-resistant and low-smoke producing characteristics (and which is specifically listed for the use) shall be used for wiring systems installed in ducts or plenums or other spaces used for environmental air. Other types of cable or wiring shall be installed in electrical metallic tubing, flexible metallic tubing, intermediate metal conduit, ‘metal surface wire-way or raceway with metal covers where accessible. or flexible metal conduit (not to exceed one meter).” ippine Electrical Code, Part 1, 1985 Edition, 1988 Issue. osSusreIoeD _RENOWaLE oR; Foes Pause cen [32 -21MM 9 RSC, IMT.

Furthermore, tach station outlet box should show on its cover the station and homerun numbers of the station wiring(s) it contains. In addition, each station wiring in the outlet box shall be properly tagged or identified. These, in standard symbols, shall be shown together with other pertinent information on "As Built" Floor plan(s) showing the station wiring system (sub. par. 2.3.5.-(4). Required data derived from the "As Built" plan(s) shall be recorded in a Station Facility Assignment Sheet (SFAS), which shall show in detail information on telephone facilities working, assigned, reserved {including spares) and defective, Building utilities personnel concemed should always have with them for ready reference a copy of the building telephone facilities plans, particularly the floor plan(s) and corresponding Station Facility Assignment Sheet for the floor or each floor of a building during station installation and/or maintenance work on telephone facilities of the building. STR ‘As a supplement to sub par.2.3.5,(4) regarding plans showing station wiring details and as a prerequisite to the preparation of SFAS, the plan shall also indicate the following. 1) Homerun circuit group number, in numerical sequence according to actual placement or termination of station homerun conduits in the corresponding terminal cabinet. AS a general rule in numbering homerun conduits, conduit No. | shall be so assigned that no succeeding homerun conduit shall cross above or below another. This rule particularly applies to installation of ‘underfloor conduits where the thickness of a floor slab limits the maximum. outside diameter of a conduit to 32 mm. For underfloor conduit or in ‘combination with overhead station wiring installations conduit No.1 shall be the one nearest the left bottom comer of the corresponding terminal cabinet (while facing it), The sequential numbering shall be made in a counter- clockwise direction; i.e, No.2 - the next and to the right of No.1, No.3 next and to the right of No. 2, ete. Other conduit termination at the cabinet; ¢.g.. riser, floor, and tie conduits shall be excluded from the numbering scheme, It follows that if conduits are terminated at the top side of the cabinet (such as in tH2 ‘overhead station wiring installations) only, conduit No. 1 shall be the one nearest the top right comer of the cabinet, No. 2 tothe left of No. 1, No. 3 to the left of No. 2, etc, Where there are two rows of conduits in a particular side of a cabinet, such as at the bottom, as shown in Figure 2-4D where there are 3 conduits af the front row and 3 at the back row, or a total of 6 station ‘wiring conduit terminations. Conduit No. I is at the lefimost extremity and No. 3 at the rightmost extremity, No. 4 at the back row, is the first and at the leftmost location and No. 6 at the extreme right position, However, if in the latter arrangement, the numbering direction of the second row will result in criss-crossing of two or more of the succeeding conduits while maintaining the numeral sequence in a counter clockwise direction, the general rule shall prevail. Hence, the direction shall be reversed such that No. 4 shall be at the right extremity and No. 6 at the left extremity. Where wiring cable (PVC, non-metallic sheated, color-coded cable or equivalent; eg. switchboard cable) is used in a conduit, the designation of homerun circuit number in the terminal cabinet shall be on the cable not the conduit, Therefore, if there are more than one cable in a conduit (which is very common) the next numbering sequence shall be on the second, etc. Station outlet number (together with the homerun number of a group-see Fig. 2-4), in numerical sequence and in a counter-clockwise direction, starting with No. 1 in. the order of their neamess to the associated terminal of the sroup (as referred to the "As Built” plan). Hence, No. 2 shall then be the next and nearest to No. 1, No. 3 the next and nearest to No. 2. This system of ‘numbering applies to underfloor/wall/column station wiring conduiting where interconnected outlets comprising a group has a common homerun conduit ‘going direct to the associated terminal cabinet or box. In an overhead distribution system, where station wirings are directed towards the nearest Jjunction box, numbering of station outlets shall depend upon the location of each relative to the associated junction box as referred to the floor plan. ‘The ‘numbering scheme shall be the same as numbering of homerun conduits in a terminal cabinet; ic. station No. 1 shall be the one nearest the left bottom comer of the box and shall proceed in numerical sequence to the succeeding stations in a counter-clockwise direction. Where there are more than one station wiring terminated in an outlet, each wiring shall be counted as one station and designated arbitrarily in alphabetical sequence, but retaining the original outlet and homerun numbering (See Fig, 7-3). As an example, where there are four pairs or wirings in one outlet, say, outlet No, 3- homerun No. 1, the first wiring designation shall be 3-1, the second, A3-1, third B3-I and fourth, C3-1. Where a color coded cable pair of a wiring cable (such as interior type ot switch board cable) is contained in an outlet, the color code of ‘the pair used or assigned to the outlet shall also be indicated on the plan. ‘An extension station is designated by placing an A after the station or outlet ‘number of the main station; e.g. 1A-1, letter B if there is a second extension and C fora third etc. See Figures 7-2 and 7-3 723) Insert outlet number used, junction box taps or splices if any, size (number of pairs and gauge) of distribution. wiring cable and homerun circuit number for ‘underfloor duct instalation and overhead or above-ceiling station distribution system using standard color-coded wiring cable for homeruns. 7.3 MARKINGS OF STATION WIRING AND OUTLET 7.3.1 Homerun Circuit Bunch or Group y 2) 3) Conductors in one sheath (wiring cable) - where wiring cable is used for homerun circuits it shall be identified or labeled at its homerun terminal location, Black, blue, or red indelible ink which are hard to erase shall be used for writing the circuit number directly on the cable sheath ~ one near the entry point in the terminal cabinet and another, near the edge of the outer sheath. Marking shall be in block letters and number(s); ie., HR (for homerun) and the number; e., HRI, HR2, ete, Homerun circuit bunch of paired wires not bound or contained in a single sheath shall be marked or labeled using black or blue indelible {nk for writing on a 19mm or 25mm white or light-colored adhesive- ‘back tape or masking tape, The circuit homerun number shall be ‘written in block numbering parallel to the edges of the tape at least three (3) times in succession. Width and spacing between numbering shall depend upon perimeter of the bunch, but as a rule the number shall wholly or partly be seen after the tape has been wrapped at least three times around the bunch. Length of numbering for single figures (0 to 9) shall be approximately 14 mm and for two figures (10 up), 2mm. The marker tape shall be placed not less than 100mm from the cabinet box termination of the homerun conduits as shown in Fig, 7-1. As an alternative to the method given above, standard color-coded pair ‘wirings may be used; i.e, no tapeinumbering. The pair shall be ‘wrapped at least three times around the bunch. Ends of the pair shall be joined by "Twist" or "Pig Tail" method, Length of the joint shall bbe approximately 19mm. The joint shall be folded and tucked properly. The color-coding shall conform to the standard color-coding ‘mumbering sequence starting with white-blue (W-BL) for homerun No. 1, white-orange (W-O) for homerun No. 2, white- green (W-G) for homerun No. 3, et. 73.2. Station Wiring Where standard color-coded wirings are used for station wiring the color combination itself shall serve as the marker for the pair, and shall not be jointed with another color combination anywhere between the station outlet 7314 and homerun terminal. One homerun bunch of several circuits should not contain more than one particular color-coded pair of the same color combination in one binder group. For non-standard color-coded pairs and Particularly, for standard jacketed, 3-conductor type of station wiring, the tape marking method of labeling or tagging the wiring shall be used at the homerun terminal location. Indelible ink shall be used on 10mm or 13mm wide tape. The numbering shall be written at least three times in succession, Size and spacing shall be such that the number can easily be recognized or readable, ‘The marker tape shall be wrapped around. the paired wiring at least three times and placed approximately 76mm (min.) from the edge of the ‘bunch marker as shown in Fig. 7-1. 73.3 Station Outlet ‘As mentioned earlier, each station outlet box should show on its cover the station and homerun number(s) of the station wiring(s) it contains. 1) A "Dymo" type marker, no less than. 10mm in size, shall be used for ‘marking the outlet in accordance with the numbering shown in the station distribution plan, The marker shall show the station or outlet number first followed by a dash or double space then the homerun number. Figures 7-2 and 7-3 show placement of the markers on single and duplex outlets, 2) Where floor outlets of underfloor ducts (NEPCO or Cellular type) are used, the marker(s) shall be placed in such a way that it shall not be liable to be stepped upon or damaged. The markers may be placed inside the cover. 3) Where a Pullman type or ordinary pullijunction floor outlet is used, the number marking shall be placed inside the removable cover to minimize possibility of damage or loss. ‘STATION FACILITY ASSIGNMENT SHEET (SFAS) No building telephone cable and wiring shall be considered complete without an "AS Built", updated, and properly accomplished SFAS. To achieve its purpose, an SFAS should incorporate all pertinent data applicable to the general and/or semi- independent telephone house cable/wiring system of a building or parts'floor(s) respectively of the building, or all buildings in a private or public compound being served by a single feeder and distribution system. No typical SFAS for complicated building telephone feeder and distribution system is recommended because many variations are possible. An example is that of a building, usually a commercial condominium type, with one or groups of floors being served by different types of PABX and/or systems, etc., but which derive its trunk and direct line requirements nly from the building telephone cable‘wiring facilities. However, for the purpose of illustrating the basic requirements of a good SFAS, two different formats which are 14so closely associated with each other as to be converted into one common format applicable to three different building communi tion services requirements are presented, as follows CASE I - Residential or commercial building being served by a 26 to 101-pair entrance cable terminated at a main terminal cabinet which also houses a hhouse cable cross connecting terminal of say, 26 to 100 pairs, single or a ‘group of 25-pairs stubless, terminal strips (for station wiring in the same floor where the main terminal cabinet is located, or where station wiring only is used for service distribution), Pertinent data in an SFAS format is as shown, in Fig. 7-4 CASE IL - Residential or commercial building of Case I in which all floors are also NOTES : being served by a PBX and/or key system equipment, 1) A cross connecting terminal for the PBX shall be placed in the main terminal cabinet or main distributing frame (MDF) to facilitate ‘ross-connection to the entrance cable terminal (for trunking pairs) ‘and the main house cable terminal and/or terminal strip(s). 2) Data in format for Case 1 was used as a guide in incorporating the following - to develop a new format as shown in Fig. 7-5: 8) Insertion of a column on PBX terminal (between columns 15 & 16 of Case I format); b) Data on the key system involve only the trunking (and PBX local pairs if any) pairs which are entered either in the House Cable Terminal or Terminal Strip Column. The key system intercom number shall be entered under the Type Service or Remarks column; ©) Blank space for the PBX and/or key system equipment supplier (placed under 21-A of Case I format). The blank space is accomplished by printing the name of the firm and signature of. its authorized representatives responsible for installing the PBX locals and/or key system apparatus; 4) Under LEGEND - Inclusion of common abbreviations for terms associated with the PBX and/or key system equipment. CASE Il - The same class of building as in Case I & Il except that the PBX/PABX ‘and/or key system equipment located at the ground or mezzanine floor serves only the ground, mezzanine, and second floors. Furthermore, the MTC containing the entrance cable terminal, house cable terminal, and/or terminal strip(s) is located also in the ground or mezzanine floor of the building. 15NOTES: 74d 742 1) The format for Case II may be used. However, in the accomplishment of the form, trunking and local station pairs shall apply only to the floors being served by the PBX and/or key system equipment. 2) The format for Case 1 applies to other floors not being served by the PBX/PABX andlor key system equipment. Use and Quantity of SFAS Forms Based on the examples given, relative to utilization or applicability of the two formats, the decision on whether or not to use one common format for all three cases or use each format for its case-counterpart as illustrated, depends ‘upon the total savings in the cost of stationery, printing, and filing. Quantity ‘or frequency of usage of each format may also be considered an important factor in the cost studies. However, one deciding factor in favor of using the format for Case Il is if there would be any possibility of using PBX and/or key system equipment in the future assuming that during the initial period, ‘Case II format is applicable. Preparation of the SFAS ‘The Station Facility Assignment Sheet(s) (SFAS) shall be prepared by the Electronics and Communications Engineer (ECE) who prepared, signed, and sealed the. complete building telephone facilities plans, The SFAS may also be done by others, preferably by utilities personnel ofthe building or usually, ‘the building electrician, under the direction and supervision of the ECE. As a reminder, the SFAS shall be accomplished on the basis of the actual "As-Buill™ plans of the building house cable and wiring facilities which include the conduit system. In most cases, building telephone facilities projects are handled by two different contractors; e., conduiting is done by an electrical contractor while the cable‘wiring job is done by a telecommu- nications contractor. It shall therefore be the responsibility of the ECE ‘concerned to ensure that no change (sizes and routing of conduits, et.) in the original plans has been made. Otherwise, the alterations should be reflected in the original plans and as may be required, new/revised plans shall be issued before house cable and wiring is started. The SFAS shall then be accomplished and issued only after the conduit run and the house cable/wiring job is completed, or if not completed, the portion that remains shall need no field alterations after thorough inspection and coordination with both ‘contractors by the ECE concemed, Installation of stations shall be entirely based on the SFAS, particularly, inthe location and assignment of pairs. 1) The SFAS format may be prepared on ordinary tracing paper and reproduced in white prints. As an alternative, print out in more durable paper or white cardboard slightly thicker than white print paper may also be considered, In general, the material forthe print 16143 Note ‘out shall be of light color, smooth, easy to write on (particularly, with soft pencil), and it's surface will not easily be abraded if subjected to frequent erasures by a rubber eraser, 2) Entries in the SFAS shall be done in soft pencil (such as Mongol #2 or drawing pencil B & HB) marks or writing. Erasures shall be done with soft rubber eraser, Inked or indelible pencil entries shall NOT be allowed. 3) The best alternative, if affordable, is the use of word processor’ printout. Distribution of SFAS Copies ‘The ECE concemed shall furnish the required number of SFAS copies as follows : No. of Se Copies Remarks > Telephi Final corrected 1 of building telephone facilites: copies only Building Owner/Administrator Final corrected copies a (Sce Note) foractive files and another for utilities - in charge of posting on cabinet Telephone cable’ wiring crafts = 1 ‘men in charge of identifying: Work sheet only and terminating station wiring pairs and labeling station outlets 2 File ECE work sheet : and active file TOTAL : 6 Set Copies If facilities involve an independent telephone distribution system covering one group or group of floors only of the building, the uilding owner shall also be given one seticopies while the administrator of the subject floor(s) shall be given two copies. The ECE concemed shall also furnish each group (Telephone Company 1144 145 and other PBX supplier) of station instrument installers, SEAS work sheets of a simpler form containing pertinent data on the particular sets that each group shall install only. Field Changes and "As Built” Plans During the initial station installation stage, mistakes in assignments, discre- pancies between SFAS entries and actual. wiring installations, and necessary alterations due to station transfers, additions, upgrading, and multipling shall be immediately rectified or corrected and reflected in the SFAS and corresponding Station Facilities Floor Plan(s). It shall therefore be the responsibility of the ECE concemed to make as many field visits to the job site as necessary, particularly, for projects involving complex cable/wiring. systems, 10 update all records and plans. This will not only facilitate turnover, for final acceptance of the construction/installation job by the building owner, or his authorized representative, but also ensure reliability and credibility of house cable plant records and plan(s), Each group of station installers shall therefore keep a detailed record of all minor andior major alterations made or being made preparatory to coordination with the ECE concerned or his representative. If possible, particularly where assignments shall be changed, field alterations to be made should first be coordinated with the ECE concerned before implementation by the station installer. Immediately after the installation stages, the ECE shall issue set copies of the final SFAS fully accomplished and premised on "As Built” installations, Handling of SFAS and Telephone Company Personnel Restrictions ‘The building owner's two (2) set copies of the final SEAS shall be treated as follows: 1) One set copy, if consisting of not more than four (4) sheets, shall be posted ‘the main terminal cabinet door or cover only. If there are more than four sheets or where an MDF instead of a main panel box is used, the SFAS shall be kept in a folder for continuing record files of the utilities personnel to be entrusted to the lead man or head of the group-in-charge of the building telephone facilities. 2) The other set copy shall be kept in a folder for the building adminis- ‘trator’ active files. 3) In both cases (1) and (2) above, the lead man or in-charge of the telephone facilities shall be responsible for recording changes made and new entries in the SFAS. Recording shall be made within 24 hours and if possible, immediately after each new entry or change is made as required. Station facility plans shall also be updated or 18shall reflect changes and new entries made, Should there be a tumover of telephone personnel of the building, the building administrator shall see to it thatthe new personnel or in-charge of the SFAS, review and inspect each entry in the SFASistation facility plans in coordination with the outgoing personnel in-charge. 4) It is also the responsibility of the person in-charge of the SFAS to conduct inspection or check cable and wiring facilities periodically (at least twice a year) and to see to it that the administrator's SFAS file jibes with entries in his file.

It is also applicable for installation underground, without concrete cover, along vehicular lanes andlor areas subject to future shallow diggings. Rigid metal conduit may be used under all atmospheric conditions and ‘occupancies, except that ferrous raceways and fittings protected from corrosion solely by enamel may be used only indoors and in ‘occupancies not subject to severe corrosive influences. These shall however, be of corrosion resistant material suitable for the condition. If practicable, the use of dissimilar metals throughout the system shall be avoided t0 eliminate possibility of galvanic action, Meat packing plants, tanneries, hhide cellars, glue houses, fertilizer rooms, salt storage, some chemical works, metal refineries, pulp and paper mills, sugar mills, textile bleacheries, plants producing synthetic staples, and similar locations are judged to be occupancies where severe corrosive conditions are likely to be present. Rigid metal conduit, unless of corrosive-resistant material suitable for the purpose shall not be used in or under cinder fill where it may be subject to permanent moisture unless protected on all sides by a layer of non- cinder concrete at least .05 meter thick or unless the conduit is placed at least 0.46 meter under the fill. A cinder fill outdoors, as in the yard of a gasoline filing station, should be considered as "subject to permanent moisture". In such a place conduit runs should be buried in the ground at least 0.46 meter below the fil. Plastic or PVC type conduits, where used in buildings shall be embedded in concrete except for ground wire housing, or short lengths in above ceiling or wall surface runs where combinations of bends and offsets will require special bending tools for metal conduits bigger 81812 813 than 51 mm inside diameter. Where PVC pipe shall be used ‘underground, as an alternative to G.1. pipe in underground installations along vehicular lanes andlor areas subject to future shallow diggings, it shall be encased in 1:3: mixture of concrete, as shown in Figure 8-1. It may also be used without conerete cover for underground installations inside private compounds or in other similar places where future foreign diggings or excavations are properly regulated by a single authority 5) Flexible metal conduit shall not be used for telephone station wiring except as specified in par.6.1.5, Where used with distibutioniset cable, a single run shall not exceed four (4) meters and limited to only cone (1) bend of not less than 90” ‘Spare Conduit ‘At least one spare conduit for service entrance, riser, and floor distribution cable system shall be provided for future expansion and/or maintenance purposes, Station wiring housing, PBX equipment to attendan's turret or console conduit run, and short runs between main cross connecting points and PBX equipment may have only one conduit run as needed initially. Conduit Bends Bends of rigid conduit shall be made so that the conduit will not be injured and that internal diameter of the conduit shall not be effectively reduced, The radius of the curve of the inner edge of any field bend shall not be less than those shown in Table 8-A. 1) Bends in conduits should be avoided as much as possible, and where excessively long pulls and bending radius could otherwise be t00 severe to satisfactorily conduct the pulling-in operation, provide a pull or splice box. 2) The sum of the bends in any one conduit section, both horizontally and vertically, shall not be greater than two right angles (180"). This includes the riser bend at the base of a pole or building. 3) Where the actual size of the conduit is more than the prescribed size for a particular size of cable, the radius of bend may be so made as to conform withthe bending radius of the prescribed size of conduit for the particular size of eable. 4) Standard factory conduit bends of which radius of curvature is less ‘than ten times its inside diameter may be used with prescribed sizes of cable as shown in Table 8-A. provided that its radius of curvature is at 82least ten times the outside diameter of any metallic sheathed (inside or outside) cable; e.g, ALPETH, STALPETH, LEPETH, FILLED, FOAM-FILLED, ctc,, to be placed in it. It is also applicable where it shall accommodate non-metallic or plastic-sheathed, plastic-insulated, non-shiclded cable (such as PVC or interior type, non-shielded cable) ‘of which cable diameter is one sixth (1/6) of radius of curvature ofthe ‘conduit, and that not more than one 90° bend plus one 30" offsct shall ‘be encountered along the continuous conduit run, The radius of curvature for conduit bends applicable to corresponding sizes of metallic-sheathed cable and conduit outside and inside diameters respectively are shown in Table 8-A. 8.1.4 Conduit Terminations and Locations 815 y 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) D Conduit terminations shall not be made in locations where telephone ‘workmen may be subject to exposure to electric power circuit or apparatus, moving machinery, etc. Conduit termination shall be made in a clean, dry and ventilated location to avoid damage to protectors, terminal blocks, etc, Conduit within the buildings shall not be placed in hazardous locations such as near boilers, steam lines, heating units, locations subject to severe vibrations, etc., which might be harmful to or affect service of enclosed telephone facilities, Conduits entering the room through the floor shall terminate not less than 51 mm above the floor inside walk-in closet or below an M.D.F. ‘Conduit(s) shall be so terminated in any side of the terminal cabinet, pull box, or splice box, as to make cable pulling and/or placing easy without making unnecessary bends and/or while attaining the re- commended radius of bends for placing and/or pulling-in the cable. Where metallic cabinet or box is used the metallic or PVC conduit connecting end shall be provided with a bushing and locknut (aside from an adapter for the latter type) and terminated through the appropriate size of knockout or hole. Conduits and fittings in hazardous or explosive atmosphere shall be as described in paragraphs 124 and 12.5 of Section 12- Hazardous Locations, Pulling-in Wire ANo. 12 AWG Gil. pulling-in wire for cable and No. 14 AWG for station ‘wiring, or equivalent, shall be provided in each conduit initially required at 8382 8.16 821 822 823 the time of construction or installation of the cable/wiring distribution system. No pulling-in wire shall be left inside conduit for use at an indefinite future ‘ime. Pulling-in wire for cable is not necessary if the length and condition of the run plus the weight and rigidity of the cable are such that the cable can be pushed manually and directly through the conduit. Other Considerations 1) Surface-installed conduits shall be sufficiently secured by means of clamps, straps, hangers, or equivalent, not only to sustain its combined ‘weight with the cable and/or wiring in place, but also to remain fast or firmly secured in place when placing or pulling-in the cable and/or wiring. 2) Threadless couplings and connectors used with conduit or tubing shall. be made up tight. Sealants shall be used whenever and wherever applicable. 3) Metallic conduit shall be permanently and effectively grounded. 4) Ends of conduit shall be reamed smooth or equipped with a suitable bushing and capped if unused. 5) Conduits shall be internally smooth, dry and free from foreign matter. 1 CONDUIT ‘Terminations Entrance conduit within the building shall be terminated at the cross- connection terminal location or where an equipment room or closet is provided, in the room itself where the main cross-connecting point is located ‘ora cable pt/vault where extra large terminations at the MDF are involved. Electrical Condulets and Entrance Caps Electrical condulets and entrance caps shall only be used with conduits for hhousing prescribed types of entrance or service wires specified under paragraph 15.4 of this code. In no case shall entrance caps and condulets be used with metal sheathed (inside or outside) cable such as ALPETH, STALPETH, LEPETH, etc. ‘Aerial Entrance Size of entrance conduit shall not be less than 51 mm inside diameter except for buildings requiring up to 5 service wires (32mm diameter required), a483 ‘mentioned in sub par.3.4.1 or where aerial entrance cable size does not exceed 26 pairs (38 mm diameter min.) and conduiting conditions (not more than one 90", bend or equivalent number of offsets) and length from cable entry to cross-connecting point permits the use of conduit less than $1_mm inside diameter. Table 8-A gives other sizes for general use. 8.24 Underground Entrance. 1) The size of underground entrance conduit within the building shall be the same as the service conduit outside the building, and in no case ‘smaller than 51 mm in diameter when the service entrance does not require a service box or manhole, or when the installation requires placement of conduit between the service box and curb line (toward ‘the telephone company manhole or pole). 2) Conduit may be placed at a minimum depth of 0.61 meter within private property or sidewalk area, provided that conduits to be Extended up to the curb line (foward telephone company manhole or pole) shall be so graded as to attain a depth of at least one meter at the curb line point. However, where conduits or conduit section shall be installed along public street or roads and private subdivision roads, a minimal depth of one (1) meter and of 0.70 meter respectively shall. apply 3) The planned route and termination of duct or conduit shall be designed to protect the building from flooding if water should enter the duct. 4) Inside wall termination of entrance conduits shall be provided with a recess of at least 100 mm depth or standard conduit bell end. This applies to cable run or section not placed in conduit inside the building and conduits terminated at telephone company manholes. LUBRICANT Cable lubricant of the type approved for the cable sheath (e.g. BENTONITE for polyethylene-sheathed cable), shall be used when pulling in cables in duct or conduit Fans exceeding 91.5 meters. in NO CASE shall grease or soapy solutions (applicable to lead-sheathed cable) be used as lubricant for polyethylene-sheathed cables. Lubricant may also be used in lengths shorter than 91.5 meters when it i quite hard to pull in cable on account of "tightness" or the number of bend(s) and/or offsets encountered along the run, and particularly when pulling-in plastic cable in plastic duct or conduit. 8sTABLE @=A: CONDUIT SIZES @ MINIMUM RADIUS OF BENDS (WRB) FOR RISER @ FLOOR DISTRIBUTION CABLES. eee oeteen lee ee anal ae ee eared crore cl eee ee 26 oa = =. 200 (2 CONDUT SIZES 8 BENDS ARE BASED ON cater ian Sours seers amen = Scone atae et amie = sc O68 co we mn a eee ee oem Ane a=: sevice enraance comourr sizes 3a oF CABLE rams | BE OF COND eo eee eee ee area 2 sown conou. size oF ae a SUR Sor EE Retat me on SEMSRLE Sopa woe nae TABLE @~C CONDUIT CAPACITY FOR STATION WIRING [Tre or wine RCRETED, TEST Dy S=CORDUETOR eabsem, WON” stcbeD mop wine, 2 cenoucror Paracel ommd e Tstco Srna) rea xomene re eowemann| = [=] NOTE: FOR 2+ CONDUCTOR, ORO WIRE SEE PAR. 15-62iike paws Te ‘UsINe folmm © conourT vers "1 SEmpavorire) oo 7s Pes Semravon(Gb) 200,78 pes. einer Sea5 base Sato ‘19 com eave wes cum CONDUIT ARRANGEMENT & MATERIALS REQUIRED PER 100 METERS OF PVC CONDUIT INSTALLATIONon 92 SECTION 9. ‘MAIN TERMINAL CABINET (MTC); RISER, TIE, AND FLOOR DISTRIBUTION CABINETS (TC) OR BOXES (TB); MAIN DISTRIBUTION FRAME (MDF) GENERAL, For the purpose of this Code housing for the stubbed-type (including its splice) terminal or combination of stubbed and unstubbed types of terminals shall be called @ terminal_cabinct. Housing of unstubbed type of terminal(s) in which cable terminations are made directly therein and where width and depth of housing is less than 300 mm and 100 mm respectively shall be called a terminal box. Methods of providing and determining sizes of terminal box or cabinet and/or Main Distribution Frame (MDF) depend upon the size, type and quantity of terminals or terminations, cablesicable splices, station wiring, desired flexibility - to include allowance(s) for future service requirement. ‘TERMINAL CABINET OR BOX SIZING ‘The terminal cabinet or box shall primarily be of such size as to accommodate present and future requirement of cable terminal(s) to be placed therein. Of utmost importance to know are the dimensions, particularly length and width, number, and positioning or arrangement of terminals) in the housing to be able to compute for the area or the space required for a single or group of terminals. The number of terminals needed include future requirements, while positioning or arrangement includes such factors as space allowances for cable(s), terminal stub(s), cable splice(s), and station termination methods (direct or indireet - through use of wire terminal block or strip). In determining the size of the Main Terminal Cabinet (MTC) or main cross-connecting point between all building cable facilities (principally, entrance and house cable terminals it is also important to know from the telephone company whether the entrance cable to be provided by them requires special protection or not, since a protected terminal of the same size (No. of paits) as its unprotected counter partis usually larger than the latter. 9.2.1. Sizes, Types, and Dimensions of Terminals ‘Sizes (pair capacities), types, and dimensions of common types of “accepted” locally-made and imported cable terminals and connecting blocks available thru local distributors or suppliers are as follows 9-1NOTES + » a 3) 4 2 Size Width Length Classification Pairs (mm) (mm) Protected SL 127711 Gimp) Protected 50 127 838 (loc) Protected 26 127394 Unprotected 31127394 Unprotected 2% 76 (394 Unprotected 16 5724 Unprotected Mo 64 181 ‘Unprotected 50 54284 3:M Type, Modular, MS#, Unstubbed ‘Unprotected 100 178 165 ‘Unprotected 200 «178318 Unprotected 300 178 470 ‘Unprotected 400178610 Wire Terminal Block or Strip, Unstubbed (For ination of Station Wit Unprotected 26 38406 Protected, Modular type of acceptable, imported terminals may also be used. Data required may be obtained from the local supplier. ‘Other Modular types (Such as the Northem Telecom type) and other ULL. (United Laboratories - U.S.A.) - listed terminals, or terminals of foreign manufacture being used by large and reputable operating telephone companies abroad, may also be used, particularly at the ‘main cross-connecting point. However, special tooling, if needed, shall always be made available, and that proper arrangement or ‘agreement between the telephone company and the building owner or service subscriber, has been made regarding personnel of either or bboth parties authorized to handle installation and maintenance work, provided further, that such arrangement will not result in hampering of ‘work or undesirable tampering of inter-connections at the main ‘eross-connect point 92922 3) Dimensions of Modular Type terminals are usually based on the size of the back mount frame, ‘Terminal Placement/Arrangement in Terminal Housing In new installations, where appropriate size of terminal housing (cabinet or ‘box) can be computed, the terminal shall be placed in its normal: (as prescribed by the manufacturer) or upright position. If necessary, for space limitations and/or economic reasons, to place one above the other in a straight-edged or centered vertical alignment, terminals shall be so placed that each cable stub or cable terminating in each of them shall not be so formed or ‘ent as to produce even a slight kink at or near the curved portion. A radius of curvature equivalent to 6 to 10 times the outside diameter of polyethylene-sheathed cable is enough allowance for cable bends. Use of modular, type or "Quick-Connect” (R-66 or S-66) type, unstubbed terminal(s) in the first (MTC) and last riser terminal housing inereases the terminal pair capacity of the housing normally used for stubbed type terminal(s). It is because the former types are small and compact, and since the riser cable is directly terminated in each of them (opposite ends of a riser cable run) no splice and cable bending allowances in the housing are needed. In intermediate riser terminal cabinets, unstubbed type of terminal block(s) such as the Modular Type shall be stubbed out, The cable terminal stub to be spliced to the riser cable shall have at least the same pair capacity as each terminal or group of terminals with a common stub cable. 1) Binding post, sealed, stubbed type eable terminal(s), with a minimum pair capacity of 18 pairs, or of a smaller size if used with any cable terminal with a pair capacity of at least 18 pairs in a single terminal housing shall be provided with fanning strips at one or both sides (@epending upon the capacity ofthe terminal). Other types of terminal \with slits for insertion of wiring terminations such as modular and “Quick-Connect” types need not be equipped with fanning strips as the slits themselves serve the same purpose. However, in both types ‘mentioned, appropriate size and number of bridle rings shall be placed around or near one side of the terminal (depending upon the pair capacity of the terminal). 2) Table 9-A shows the different sizes of Main Terminal cabinet for sixty (60) terminal arrangement variations for entrance and house cable terminations respectively, using binding post, sealed, stubbed type terminal(s). The former is protected, while the latter, which includes PBX facilities is unprotected. Table 9-B lists down seventy (70) variations using "Quick-Connect’, stubless, unprotected, house cable terminal(s) with protected, binding post, sealed, stubbed type entrance cable terminals. Figures 9-1, 9-2, 9-3, and 9-4 show typical arrangemet of tereminals in Table 9-A while Figures 9-5, 9-6, 9-7, 9393 9-8, and 9-9 show typical terminal placements in Table 9-B, Note that terminal dimensions particularly, width and length are variable and may be different in other acceptable brands, Should terminal ‘measurements differ from the ones shown in the drawings herein retain only the space allowances between terminals and the terminal to ‘cabinet edges measurements. Note also that the maximum terminal housing size (1.98 m x 2.29 m) prescribed for "Quick-Connect" type terminals can accommodate terminations for 300 entrance cable pairs, (600 houselriser cable pairs and 400 PBX tie cable pairs, a total of 1,300 pairs (see item 70 in Table 9-B). The same size of cabinet when used with binding post, sealed, stubbed type terminals will accommodate 300 entrance cable and an equal number of house cable terminations or a total of 600 pairs only (see item 53 of Table 9-A). 3) Table 9C with Figures 9-10 and 9-11, not only specify the riser or floor distribution terminal housing dimensions but also give and illustrate the detailed placement of single terminal and conduit terminations inthe terminal cabinet 4) Table 9-D_ prescribes sixty six (66) different multi-terminal arrangements, number, and sizes, as well as terminal cabinet dimensions and conduit terminations in each cabinet. Figures 9-12 and 9-13 illustrate and supplement Table 9-D specifications.

Figure 9-14 shows a Floor-Wall Type of MDF which will best serve the requirement in terms of economy and capacity. The MDF shall be metallic and rust-proof, either through application of rist-proofing paint or use of non rust and durable metal. Verticals and brackets shal be rigid and so designed as to properly secure connectors or terminal blocks to be mounted on each of them, Table 9-E and Figure 9-15 respectively, show the different MDF sizes/eapacities and MDF code illustration for each MDF size/arrangement variation Figures 9-16A and 9-16B prescribe and illustrate the separate room requirements of a floor-wall type MDF shown in Fig.9-14 and various sizes/eapacities listed under Table 9-E,94 95 ‘TERMINAL HOUSING AND MDF LOCATIONS » 2 d ‘The Main Terminal Cabinet (MTC) or Main Distribution Frame (MDF) of “exposed” entrance cable shall be placed not more than 15.25 lineal meters from the point of entry of the cable into the building. An exception to this rale is where requirements of sub. par.9.4(2) & (3) below could not be met. In this particular case a grounding point (pull or splice box) for the metallic sheath of the entrance cable shal be placed not more than 15.25 lineal meters from the cable's point of entry into the building. See par. 3.2.6 and Fig. 3-2. ‘The MTC or MDF shall be located in the most desirable location with regard. ‘to accessibility, nearest entry point of entrance cable, and will facilitate and shorten the routing of house cable. It shall be placed in inconspicious locations where possible and where its use will cause minimum disturbance to building tenants.

Splice box shall be used at locations in 2 conduit run where it branches into ‘wo or more routes and at which the cabje will be spliced, or where a splice is, ‘obviously required or can be anticipated. 10.2.2 Pull box shall be used at appropiate locations accessible to workmen where no OE canal tm ae cr acest ped 10 allow for pulling the cable out of the box and feeding it back into the next conduit section.” 10.2.3 When a pull box is proposed to be located where cable run: changes direction, the box-must be sized to allow for a cable bending radius which i ten times the eable diameter. If this cannot be done, or if for any reason impractical to pull cable outside the Box and feed it back into the next conduit section, the cable should be cut and a splice made ina spice box. WORKING SPACE 10.3.1 Provide a minimum of 0.76m working space in front of either a pull box or splice box. MAKE AND SIZES 10.4.1 Pull and splice box shall be made of No. 18 gauge (min.) steel and shall be sized according to Tables 10-A and 10-B. ‘Sect, 916-100-072, lve 1, May 1962, GT & E Standard 10-1105 10.4.2 Pull and splice boxes used with polythylene-sheated cable shall be made of ‘metal or other durable and non-combustiable material. Where metal other ‘than stainless steel is used, it shall be treated with rustproof paint. CONDUIT TERMINATIONS 10.5.1 At straight runs conduit terminations may be centered on the surfaces of the Note pull or splice box perpendicular to the conduit run. Minimum spacing between conduits shall be, as follows : Conduit size (mm dia.) |32t051 | 76 | 101 | ‘Spacing (mm) 123 | 38 | St | ‘Spacing may either be horizontal or vertical. If vertical increase the depth (of box) instead of width in Tables 10-A & 10-B, 10.5.2 At comers or 90° tums, conduit terminations shall be placed as near as Note: possible to the pull or splice box edge along the direction of the turn. The ‘minimum spacing of the conduit nearest the edge of the box and in between conduits shall be, as follows a.

This shall require that Concrete of 1:2:3 mixture should have a water cement ratio of 22.8 liters of mixing water for each bag of cement used. 2) Cement - shall conform to all requirements of ASTU specifications for portland cement. No cement shall be used which contains lumps that will not pulverize readily in the hand, since such lumps indicate that ‘the cement has absorbed moisture and has consequently deteriorated. In this regard, cement should be kept dry at all times prior to use in order to prevent deterioration. It should be stored in a building or on a platform raised off the ground and covered 3) Fine aggregate - shall consist of natural sand, or sand prepared from stone or gravel. + Seolas page for bibliography4) 5) 9 Coarse agsresae- shall consist of crushed stone, gravel or equivalent with similar characteristics, or combinations thereof, having hard, ‘strong, durable pieces, free from adherent coatings or other deleterious ‘substances. Maximum diameter of gravel shall not exceed 19 mm. = The water contained in the aggregates should be considered as ‘part of the mixing water. Therefore, the quantity of water added shall ‘be adjusted so that the total available water in the concrete will not exceed the quantities specifiell The quantity of mixing water specified in water cement ratio is based on the use of wet sand, a) Wet sand - contains about 67 liters per cubic meter, feels wet and leaves a little moisture on the hands after being handheld, b) Very wet sand - contains about 100 liters of water per cubie ‘meter and leaves more moisture on the hand than wet sand, If the sand is very wet, the total quantity of mixing water used should be reduced by 1.9 to 2.85 liters below the quantity specified for each bag of cement. ©) Damp sand - feels slightly moist to the touch but leaves very little moisture on the hand after being handled. If the sand is only damp., the total quantity of mixing water used should be increased by 0.95 to 1.9 liters above the quantity specified per bag of cement. 4) Dry sand - contains little or no moisture, flows freely and dry as though it were dried in the sun, Sand in this condition should preferably be wet by spraying prior to use in order to approximate the moisture content of wet sand, Proportioning of concrete - Approximately 8 bags (40 kilos per bag) ‘of cement shall be used for each cubic meter of concrete placed. ‘The ‘maximum water content per bag of cement shall be 22.8 liters. Slump shall be within the range of $1 mm to 100 mm. Slump specimens ‘which break or slough off laterally or does not conform to specified slump shall be re-made because they would give incorrect results. ‘The combined aggregate should be of such composition of sizes that ‘when separated by No. 4 standard sieve, the weight retained on the sieve should not be less than 1/3 of the total nor should the amount of ‘gravel material be such as to produce lack of smoothness in placing or hhoneycombing the structure, When forms in manhole are removed, ‘the concrete surfaces and comers should be smooth and sound ‘throughout. 12113.2 1133 134 1135 7) Reinforcing Steel - shall be of the deformed type. Before placing, it shall be cleaned thoroughly of loose rust and coating that will reduce fr destroy the bond. It shall be straight and free from distortion and 'ee placed and held in position as indicated on the plans. Bars with kinks or bends not indicated on the plans shall not be placed. Heating reinforcing bar for purposes of bending or straightening should not be allowed. Handhole and service box cover - may either be of reinforced concrete or 6.4 mm to 12,7 mm thick steel plate. The latter shall be used in non-vehicular or sidewalk areas, If the former is used for service box the cover should be ‘made up of three sections of which the combined widths shall be equal to the length of the service box. For handhole the cover should be made up of two sections of which combined widths shall be equal to the handhole length. Each cover section shall be provided with no less than two (2) collapsible lifting handles or bars made of 12 mm diameter (min.) galvanized steel. ‘Manhole Frame and Cover - Standard cast iron frame and cover shall be used for manhole. Use of reinforced concrete cover should as much as possible be avoided. [Brick collar - shall be used for supporting manhole frame. It should be of sufficient height to bring the cover flush with the grade ofthe ground surface, 2) For manhole collar the 51 mm x 102. mm x 202 mm common red brick shall be used. ») Broken bricks shall not be used as a means of adjusting the frame to grade. ©) The upper course of bricks shall be topped with a layer of mortar in ‘which to bed the manhole frame. ulling-in irons - shall be placed in the wall opposite each duct entrance at a point from 0.15 m to 0.30 m below the ducts with which they are associated. It shall be in line with the center line of the duct or bank of ducts for manholes. For service box and handhole the same range of measurement applies but placement shall be at a point above the associated ducts. For a 0.13 m to 0.15 m thick concrete wall the vertical legs of the iron should bear against the outside face of the wall. For thicker walls (such as manholes for vehicular anes with 0.20 m thick walls), the legs should be embedded in the 113concrete wall, The pulling-in iron shall be galvanized steel, 22.2 mm diameter and 230 mm long (inside altitude of the triangular-shaped iron). For service entrance handhole or service box, where length and size of conduit ‘terminated in it and size or weight of cable to pass or be placed in it are such ‘that pulling-in or pushing through of cable from either end of conduit section ‘could be done manually without use of special tools such as pulley or chain hoist, provision of pulling-in iron is not necessary. 11.3.6 Cable racks - are not required for handholes. For service box and manhole ‘cable racks) shall be provided as follows : 8) Service box - One 8:hole or 14-hole cable rack at each side spaced ‘equidistant to two end walls for straight runs. At comers - one rack at cach side and one at the end wall (where cable changes direction). ‘These placement of cable racks in both cases assumes that the cable shall be looped around the box at straight runs or comers which is usually done for service entrance cable installation. Where cable will ‘not be looped around the box, only one side shall be provided with rack for straight runs and for comers omit placements of the item ‘opposite the side normally used for cable racking. b) Manhole - Two cable rack verticals (two 14-hole cable racks per vertical) at each side spaced 0.79 m from the two end walls. This provides a 0.76 m separation between cable racks for cable splicing! closure, At comer manholes add another rack vertical atthe center of the end wall where cable shall tum. Extra rack(s) may not be necessary where there are subsidiary duct. ©) — Width and depth of standard racks should be 51_mm and 19 mm respectively. Length of 8-hole and 14-hole rack should be 380 mm and 610 mm respectively. 4) Appropriate size of rack shall be used for the cable or cable splice size ‘to be mounted on it. ©) Cable rack(s) and rack hook(s) shall be appropriately galvanized or rust-proofed. 11.3.7 Sump - Handhole, service box or manhole shall be provided with a sump or drain through the floor. For the handhole and service box it shall be placed at the center of the floor and for the manhole it shall be located in the floor directly below the manhole cover. ‘The sump should be at least 0.20 m in diameter or 0.20 m square. The floor shall be graded (6.4 mm/300 mm) towards the sump. See REA (US.A.)

Furthermore, special treatment is particularly given on installation details to ensure that installations will be permanently free from electrical hazards. While telephone switching equipment and other ancillaries can conveniently be installed in non- hazardous areas, the telephone apparatus and associated wiring are often-times required to be located in hazardous locations. This section gives the different classifications of hazardous locations (See Table 12-A), mentions some specific occupancies, and describes or prescribes the type of equipment or apparatus, fixtures, and fittings suitable to a specific classification. Extra care must be exercised in the selection of the latter - to see to it that any item that will be used has previously been type-approved by recognized or reputable ‘authorities. such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (U'S.A.) and the Philippine ‘Bureau of Products Standards (for locally manufactured products) ASSIFICATI Hazardous locations are classified depending on the properties of the flammable ‘vapors, liquids or gases, or combustible dusts or fibers which may be present and the likelihood that a flammable or combustible concentration or quantity is present. Each room, section or area shall be considered individually in determining its classification. See Table 12-A. Since the three classes of hazardous locations have varying degrees of hazards, each class is further divided into two - Division 1 and Division 2, of which the requirements ofthe former are more rigid than te latter. CLASS I LOCATIONS ‘Class I locations are those in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present inthe air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitible mixtures. Class 1 locations shall include those specified in (1) and (2) below. For further details see pages 460 to 462, Ar. 7.1 of PEC#5. 121» 2) Note aaa 4) Locations in which ignitible concentrations of flammable gases or ‘vapors exist under normal operating conditions; b) Wherein ignitible concentrations of such gases or vapors may exist frequently because of repair or maintenance operations or because of leakage, oF ©) Wherein breakdown or faulty operation of equipment or provesses ‘hich might release igntible concentrations of flammable gases or ‘vapors and might also cause simultaneous failure of electrical ‘equipment. poe 8) Locations in which flammable volatile liquids or flammable gases are hhandled, processed or used, but in which the liquids, vapors or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or ‘breakdown of such containers or systems, or in case of abnormal ‘operation of equipment. b) Wherein ignitible concentration of gases or vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment, or - ©) Location which is adjacent to a Class I, Division 1 location, and to which ignitible concentrations of gases or vapors might occassionally bbe communicated unless such communication is prevented by adequate positive-pressure ventilation ffom a source of clean air, and effective safeguards against ventilation failure are provided. Electrical conduits and their associated enclosures separated from process fluids by a single seal or barrier shall be classed asa Division 2 location if the outside of the conduit and enclosures is a non-hazardous location, CLASS II LOCATIONS ‘Class II locations are those that are hazardous because of the presence of combus- tible dust. Class IL locations shall include those specified in (3) and (4) below. 3) ae 122123 4 ) Locations in which combustible dust is in the air under normal ‘operating conditions in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitible mixtures. b) Wherein mechanical failure or abnormal operation of machinery or equipment might cause such explosive or igntible mixtures to be produced, and might also provide a source of ignition through simultaneous failure of electrical equipment, operation of protection devices, or from other causes, oF ©) Wherein combustible dusts of an electrically conductive nature may be ‘present in hazardous quantities. Class IL, Division 2 Location in which combustible dust is not normally in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or igntible mixtures, and dust accurms- lations are normally insufficient to interfere with the normal operation of electrical equipment or other apparatus, but combustible dust may be in suspension in the air as a result of infrequent malfunctioning of handling or processing equipment and where combustible dust accumulations on or in the vicinity ofthe elecrical equipment may be sufficient to interfere withthe safe issipation of heat from electrical equipment or may be ignitible by abnormal ‘operation or failure of electrical equipment. CLASS III LOCATIONS Class 111 locations are those that are hazardous because of the presence of easily ‘ignitble fibers or flyings, but in which such fibers or flyings are not likely to be in suspension in the air in quantities sufficient to produce ignitible mixtures, Class IIT Jocations shall include those specified in (5) and (6) below. 5) Class ll.
