Rpsa fire PROTECTION ENGINEERS. SCHIFILITI ASSOCIATES, INC. Box 297. Reading, Massachusetts 01867 - 0497. USA. Fax / Data Telephone Sample fire Alarm System Calculations 1. A fire Alarm manufacturer specifies a maximum allowable loop resistance of 50 1. What is the maximum allowable distance from the control unit to the last device if a #16 AWG. stranded, un-coated copper wire is used? Assume a temperature of 750C. How does this change if the temperature is 200C? Rmax = 50 1 = 2 RW 1 R. W. R W = Ru D 1 R. W. Rmax = 50 1 = 2 Ru D 1. Ru = 1/1000 ft or 1 per handout table for D=L/2.
