Output Voltage Specification
Due to the requirements of standards UL985 and
UL1023, it is required to indicate an output voltage of 11
V
DC unregulated. Typically, with normal AC in and a fully
charged battery, the output voltage will be 13.8 V
DC. With
AC off and a discharged battery, the voltage will go to 10
volts. Devices that require power from the control panel
should be capable of normal operation over the voltage
range of 10 to 14 V
DC.
