I'm trying to determine the type of cable to spec for an electrician who is doing the installation for us. The installation is for a floating roof tank, fire detection system. The cable/cord will have one end attached to a platform at the top of the tank which is fixed. The other end will attach to the roof of the tank which floats on the liquid inside of the tank. This isn't the "Heat Detection" cable but rather a cable that connects the "Heat Detection" cable to the fire alarm IDC.
The area is considered hazardous. This cord I'm talking about will have to have labels every 25' with "Intrinsically Safe Circuit" printed on the label because I don't think I can get a cable rated as a "Cord", which is light blue in color (ref NFPA 70, 504.80(C).
I hope I've explained this correctly, but what I'm looking for is the "Type" of cable to use for this "Cord".
Everyone's help is appreciated.
