2 A full range of complementary accessories andtools provides a complete wiringsystem supplied and supported by the Genuine Pyrotenax component MI Enhanced Grade wiring cable SystemPyro MI Benefits Pyro MI survives the fire test requirements for enhanced grade cables as defined in BS 5839: part 1: 2002. Peace of mind from the third party (LPCB) approval for categories C, W and Z in BS 6387: 1994. Also attains categories C, W and Z of BS 6387: 1994 with one single cable MI ConstructionWith a basic inorganic construction of a copper sheath and conductors, together with a mineral insulant, the cable provides aunique combination of dependability, versatility and permanence. This construction, with the melting points of 1083 C and 2800 C forthe copper and the insulant respectively, provides the unsurpassedFire survival properties which enable the cable to continue to carrycurrent at temperatures in excess of 1000 MI Construction Characteristics Fireproof High Operating Temperatures Inherent Flameproof Barrier Zero Energy Non- Ageing Great Mechanical Strength Small Overall Diameter Pliable wiring cable and Conduit Combined Competitive Installed Cost High Degree of Electrical Screening Radiation Resistant Integral Earth Continuity High Corrosion Resistance WaterproofPyro MI Enhanced Grade Mineral Insulated wiring Cables4 CopperConductorCompressedMineralInsulant CopperSheathHalogen FreeLSF OuterCoveringStandard colours areOrange, Red, Whiteand Black.

Pyro Twist available in red, differentiated with two grey sheath stripes for easy identification (other colours available upon request). Pyro Twist uses standard accessories for the equivalent Pyro MI Light Duty cable size. Pyro Twist can be installed and terminated by following the normal procedures for Pyro MI cable . The twisted copper conductor configuration enhances the EMC noise rejection characteristics, reducing the possibility of system malfunction. The exceptionally low impedance of the solid copper sheath provides a superior EMC screening than other cable systems. Minimal smoke obscuration in the event of Twist cable SystemPyro Twist CablesPyro Twist is a range of communication and signal cablesfor life preservation and integratedbuilding management systems.
