A.4.5.8.1 A splice intended to be soldered should be joined mechanically before being soldered. Each splice and joint should be covered with insulation equivalent to that of the conductors or with not less than two layers of electrical tape. A splice located in an area of dampness should be treated with an listed sealant or equivalently treated. Electrical connections to device manufacturer’s supplied leads should be either: (1) Soldered and heat shrink wrapped or; (2) Crimped with a listed insulating crimp connector. Care should be taken to ensure that each connection between a device’s leads and a wire or cable provides the required strain relief. Electrical connections to terminals on a device should be made by first crimping or soldering spade , tinned wire or “O” type connection terminals of a size appropriate to the device’s terminals to the conductors from the wires or cables. These connection terminals should be insulated either by manner of their construction and use or by adding heat shrink over the connection for each individual connector. Poorly performed connections that do not include all of the strands of the conductor, that are bent and/or misshapen, and/or that do not properly fit the terminals on the device are not acceptable. Care should be taken to ensure that each connection between a device and the wire’s or cable’s conductors provide adequate strain relief so that a firm tug will not break or damage the connection. 4.5.8.2* Unless specifically allowed by the manufacturers wiring specifications, low voltage electronic premises security system wiring shall be spaced at least 5.08cm (2 in.) from conductors of any light and power circuits, unless one of the circuits is in metal raceway.

A.4.5.8.5 Some examples of properly mounting devices and protecting the cables are as follows: (1) If a field device which is not mounted on a back box to which raceway may be attached, and it is not possible to provide such a box, then wiring should be protected from abrasion at the raceway end or enclosure The device and metal raceway should not be more than 7.62 cm (3 inches) apart. (2) The orientation of the installed metal raceway relative to the installed device should be so as to facilitate the removal, reconnection of a replacement, and reinstallation without the need to damage any finished surfaces or extend time fishing for wires or cables. Generally, such metal raceway should be installed so that its extension would be roughly perpendicular to the finished surface in or which the device is installed. (3) Wire or cable ends at the point of connection to a device should have the outside protective sheathing removed so that the ends of the internal insulated conductors will extend at least 5.08 cm ( 2 inches.) The wires or cables should be cut so that, including its stripped end, the wires or cables will extend at least 15.24 cm ( 6 inches) beyond the finished surface at the point of device installation. Where there is difficulty inserting the cut cable back into the opening, additional stripping of outside sheathing is acceptable. Removal of the outside sheathing should be performed without damaging the insulation of the internal conductors of the wires or cables. In some cases the manufacture may provide unique instructions for their product or stripping of sheathing may not be an acceptable practice with products such as coaxial cable or Category Network cable. (4) Conductors should be stripped to the length prescribed by the manufacture of the device to which they should be connected. The stripped portion of the conductor should have the same number of conductors as the un-stripped portion. 4.5.8.6 Circuit Identification. 4.5.8.6.1 Circuit identifications shall be within the control panel and enclosures used for wiring connections. 4.5.8.6.2 Circuit identifications shall be at all field terminations. 4.5.8.6.3 Circuit identifications shall not be visible to the public. 4.5.8.7 Strain Relief.
