1.2 One Output Layout with Diversion Boxes: FG-DTC and FG-DTCS
In order to fit the complex installation, TTK offers two kinds of boxes: FG-DTC and FG-DTCS. They have
their own characteristics but both of them facilitate the extension of the system in different situation.
Layouts in session 1.2 explain different situations.
Digital Diversion Box: FG-DTC
The digital diversion box FG-DTC makes it possible to break up a detection circuit into two parts,
so as to allow the system to cover more horizontal spaces (figure 1.2).

Design Tips
● Use jumper cable for wall or corridor passage between two sensing cables. Maximum jumper cable length for
each FG-SYS output is 150 meter.

● FG-ECS cables (without connector) has a termination at end tip of the cable, it is recommanded to use for
vertical extension (on different floors).

Extensive Density Protection
Typical ‘very important place’ extensive density protection, allowing perimeter and total floor coverage of the
room.
Typical application: mission critical facilities, data center,
hospital, expensive equipments/machines, UPS room,
etc.
Perimeter Protection
Typical and the most commun design for prevent external
liquid leak come inside the protected zone.
Sensing cable typically installed about 1 meter from the
walls.
Typical application: offices, archives room, kitchen, toilets, technical room, tank room, lift pit, etc.
Perimeter ACU Protection
Typical design for air-conditionners and leak possible
objects, prevent leaks extend without acknowledge.
Sensing cable typically installed about 75cm in front of
