Pulsar AWOP-960PP Distribution Junction Box 9x6mm²
Model: AWOP-960PP v.1.0
Edition: 5 from 05.02.2024
National Technical Assessment: CNBOP-PIB-KOT-2019/0109-3704
1. Description
The Pulsar AWOP-960PP junction box is designed for connecting fire protection devices within cable installation systems that require fire resistance according to the DIN 4102-12 standard. It ensures uninterruptible power supply or signal transmission in case of fire.
This junction box is engineered to maintain the mechanical integrity of cable routes, guaranteeing the uninterrupted power supply and transmission of telecommunication signals within fire zones. It is suitable for powering fire protection equipment such as ventilators, smoke vents, fire alarm control panels, and emergency warning systems. The junction box can accommodate connections for up to 9 wires.

3. Installation
The junction box for fire alarm systems must be mounted directly to a concrete base of class min. B20 or natural stone. Other building materials with adequate strength and a fire resistance class of at least R90 are also approved.
Mounting should be done on the ceiling or wall using two steel pins with adequate fire resistance. Cables should be secured using handles at intervals of 600 mm. The mounting distance between the cables (handles) and the edge of the junction box should not exceed 100 mm.
Boundary Conditions:
- a) Bushings and expansion bolts should be recessed at least 30 mm into the concrete.
- b) Tension on the pin should not exceed 500 N.
- c) Alternatively, pins with well-documented fire protection design may be used.
- d) Ensure that the functional class of cable assemblies containing these junction boxes for fire alarm systems is not adversely affected by falling building elements.
Installation cables should be routed through the appropriate bushings and then secured with cable holders located inside the enclosure.
WEEE Compliance
Waste electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with normal household waste. According to the European Union WEEE Directive, waste electrical and electronic equipment should be disposed of separately from normal household waste.
