1.5 Battery Standby Times versus AUX Load
In accordance with EN50131-1 Standard, for a Power Supply
Type A rated for Grade 2 systems, the battery standby time
required in case of failure of the prime power source shall be a
minimum of 12 hours.
The table below indicates the maximum load values applicable to
the AUX+/-, Keybus (Red, Black) and PGM 1-4 outputs that the
panel (PC1616/PC1832/PC1864) will be able to support when
using a certain battery size for a certain period of time as applica-
ble for each installation.
The AUX +/-, Keybus (Red, Blk) and PGM 1-4 outputs are all
sharing the same load (max. 500mA), (max. 700mA for UL/ULC),
(max. 550mA for IMQ). Please refer to the other Power Series
accessories current ratings when calculating the maximum load
applicable for each installation.
Standard Battery Charging Current: 400mA (280mA for IMQ).To
be used with 4Ah or 7Ah batteries.
High Battery Charging Current: 700mA. To be used with 14Ah or
24Ah batteries.
NOTE:
Program Section [701] option 7 to ON to enable high bat-
tery charging current, if 14Ah or 24Ah battery is used.
Refer to the following table for UL/ULC Applications:
NOTE:
When two batteries are required in order to meet the min-
imum standby times, the DSC Enclosure Model Power UC1 shall be
used (for European Installations only).
NOTE: A sealed, rechargeable, lead acid battery or gel type bat-
tery is required to meet UL requirements for power standby times.
NOTE: UL Residential/Commercial Burglary installations require
4Hrs Power Standby time.
NOTE: UL/ULC Residential Fire & Home Health Care installations
require 24 Hr power standby. ULC Commercial Burglary and Fire
monitoring installations require 24 Hr power standby.
