The Model CC-5 card cage provides the physical mounting location and all wiring

connection points for all fire and voice system options cards for the Cerberus PRO

Modular system fire alarm control panel (FACP).

All cards plugged into the Model CC-5 card cage communicate with other modules

of the Cerberus PRO Modular system panel ─ via a common, 60-pin data bus.

This 60-pin bus runs through the card cage; making all communication data buses

and signals available to all cards. Connectors are provided on the left and right side

of Model CC-5 to connect a 60-pin cable for communications with the Cerberus

PRO Modular system operator interface, power supplies and amplifiers modules.

There are no active components on Model CC-5.

Field wiring to all devices and circuits terminates at the Model CC-5 card cage.

All cards, which are designed for use with Model CC-5, route their field wiring

terminations to the ‘top’ of Model CC-5. These connections are all power-limited.

Internal wiring connections distribute 24VDC to cards or high-level audio signals

(depending on application used) connected to the ‘bottom’ of Model CC-5.

Though, these internal-wiring connections are all non-power limited.

All wiring connections to Model CC-5 are made to removable terminal blocks.

Terminal blocks are rated for use with wire-sized 12AWG to 24AWG. Each terminal

block comes with a protective cover that also serves as a handle to allow easy

terminal-block removal when wires are connected.

Each connector is numbered to make wiring terminations to the correct position

on the terminal block simple and reduce the potential for wiring errors.
