We have an overhead alarm cable which runs between the two buildings at our
site. The cable runs from just below the roof of the two-storey building to the
base of the chimney breast on the single storey building. It is protected in
conduit attached to a metal catinery cable.

My query is that the conduit hasn't been run right up the brickwall of the
two-storey building and does this constitute a violation of BS4737?

There is a gap of about 10cm where the cable isn't protected, whereas on the
single storey building the cable enters the building via a circular JB and is
fully protected.

You help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

Is this carrying mains? Most alarms are low voltage so no regs.

Power wiring regs maybe but there are several that relate to alarm
wiring.
