CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL (CSFM)
24 HOUR BATTERY BACK-UP REQUIREMENTS
The California State Fire Marshal has published new regulations which require that all residential fire alarm
control panels installed after June 30, 1993 must be provided with a back-up battery which has sufficient
capacity to operate the panel and its attached peripheral devices for 24 hours in the intended standby
condition, followed by at least 4 minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling condition.
This control panel can meet these requirements without using a supplementary power supply, provided that
the panel's auxiliary power and bell output currents are limited as indicated below.
