PDS Construction - Visible for Inspection and Marked
CS-04.02.01
CAT II
10
1. The PDS must be visible for inspection. The Category 2 (Hardened) carrier should be installed in plain view to meet both Visual and Technical inspection requirements.
2. The PDS should not be installed above a false ceiling, below a false floor, or inside a wall unless it is clear that all portions within the wall, above the ceiling or below the floor are inspectable by means identified in the PDS approval request.
NOTE: If the PDS cannot be installed in plain view, or is rendered un-inspectable, then the PDS must be an alarmed carrier.
3. The PDS must be marked to make it easily identifiable to the inspector. The markings should be placed at sufficient intervals to facilitate inspections, however, intervals shall not exceed 3 meters (approximately 10 feet).
4. The PDS markings must consist of tape, paint, cable tags, or any other suitable method that does not obscure or impair inspection.
5. The PDS must not be labeled as a PDS, or labeled with text that would indicate that it carries National Security Information (NSI).
6. The markings must not be red, since this color is often used to identify fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm wires, and NSI.
7. The PDS must not be painted unless using a distribution system that has a factory painted coating.
Check to ensure:
