Before You Begin Installing
2. The FACP can only support 5 devices w/LED’s on. This current draw has been added to the panels alarm current.
3. SK-Beam-T draws a maximum of 500 mA from Auxiliary power only when the test feature is used. This should be considered 
when determining auxiliary power capacity but not calculated into current requirements for day to day operation.
4. If using door holders, you do not need to consider door holder current for alarm/battery standby, because 
power is removed during that time. However, during normal operation, door holders draw current and must be included in the 
6.0A total current that can be drawn from the panel.
5. Use next size battery with capacity greater than required.
6. Total does not include isolator devices or accessory bases.
Current Draw Worksheet for SD SLC Devices
Use Table 3.3 to determine current requirements during alarm/battery standby operation when SD SLC devices are installed. You can 
install up to 127 SD devices per panel.
