1 The Handbook2012 EDITIONOnly the names have been changed to protect the cables that have been keeping Australians safe and secure for 30 years have a new is now the name to specify for the cables you ve always relied on where safety and security are critical to maintain circuit integrity for mains power, lighting, alarms, pumps and other essential services when under , backed by the Global resources of Nexans, Olex is, more than ever, your one-stop-shop for the most complete range of performance Pyrolex Envirolex cables are insulated and sheathed with stable materials which may contain certain toxic sub stances including lead. Insulation and sheathing materials should not be chewed or you require more detailed data regarding materials, please contact our Group Safety Manager on 03 9281 4444 or refer to our web site, cables must be installed in accordance with the requirements of Section 3 Selection and Installation of Wiring Systems in the latest issue of AS/NZS 3000 or the appropriate ruling standard in the country of installation.

2 cables must also be connected by a licensed electrician, as ruled in the state or country of installation. In particular your attention is drawn to Section of the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) Fundamental and installers can be assured the products provided by Olex meet the requirements of the relevant cable standard, but must ensure appropriate selection of cables for the electrical installation Areas Installation of wiring and fittings for hazardous areas, flammable or explosive gas, liquid, dust or solids must comply with Section Hazardous Areas, of AS/NZS 3000, and other relevant Australian Standards for specific hazards and NotePVC 90 C Thermal Rating The current carrying capacities for thermoplastic cables , including flexible cords used as fixed wiring, insulated with V-90 and V-90HT PVC compounds have been based on a conductor operating temperature of 75 C (refer AS/NZS Table 1 Note 2).
