Concord 8
Table 2 describes the total system wire lengths allowed when installing systems using unshielded
or shielded cable.
Table 3 describes the minimum current draw of each device when the panel is operating only
from the backup battery. For 24-hour backup, the total current draw of all SnapCards connected
to the panel and devices connected to +12V BUS (panel terminal 4) is limited to 90 mA (during
normal standby condition) using a 4.0 AH battery, or 190 mA (during normal standby condition)
using a 7.0 AH battery.
