10. Flexible Power Option
Subscriber power can be provided by several different types of power sources. This control configures the type of
power source and the features associated with the power source. From the Configuration tab, select the Flexible
Power Option panel.
For power source details, see Power Options on page 10. See also Programming Options (UL Notice to Users)
which starts on page 23.
Power From: 16.5 V AC Adapter and Battery
Refer to the diagram shown in the Power Options section on page 10 for supply and connection
requirements.
Important! When using this selection, 16.5 V AC is the primary power source and the battery is
the secondary power source.
AC Report Delay: AC Report Delay is active when Suppress AC Fault is set to NO. The report
delay is the time that must pass before the Model 7707 Subscriber will send an AC failure or AC
restoral message. This feature helps prevent mesh network congestion in an area where many
Subscribers have an AC power outage at the same time. Messages can be set to transmit in a staggered
fashion using the Random time setting.
Note: Primary (16.5 V AC) power failure fault reporting must be enabled for compliance with UL 864
standard in fire installations.
The combined AC Fail detection time delay of 100 minutes plus the random AC Report Delay between 0‒
60 minutes results in time that does not exceed 160 minutes. This is within the UL-864 requirement of
reporting AC power failure within 180 minutes (3 hours) of loss.
Primary (16.5 V AC) power must be lost for 100 minutes in order to be reported as a failure. Primary (16.5
V AC) power must be restored for at least 100 minutes to be reported as a restore. Once either is detected,
a message is created by the Subscriber to send to the central station. An AC Report Delay is selected based
on both this parameter and the setting of Suppress AC Fault Reporting.
