I have a 120v ac powered smoke detector which uses a 6v dc signal to control a relay located in a different area. There is a 12c/12awg cable running between the two areas that carries the power for the detector, lighting, and receptacle power.
Is it a code violation to run the 6v dc signal through this cable? Which code sections apply?
Article 300-3(c)(1) seems to say that it is acceptable.
In Article 725-8(a) the 6v signal would fall into class 1 since it is a safety control device. But I am unclear as to wheather it can be run with a lighting circuit.
