1. The FACP can only support 5 devices w/LED’s on. This current draw has been added to the panels alarm current.
2. IDP-Beam-T draws a maximum of 500mA 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.
3. The IDP-PhotoR is sold separately from the DNR. Current draw for the DNR + IDP-PhotoR is calculated by increasing the “Number
of Devices” column for each IDP-PhotoR used with a DNR.
4. The DNR housing does not include a Relay circuit board. If a relay is needed, be sure to add one to the IDP-Relay & IDP-PhotoR
“Number of Devices” column for each DNR used for correct current calculations.
5. 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.
6. Use next size battery with capacity greater than required.
7. Total does not include isolator devices or accessory bases.
3.7.3 Current Draw Worksheet for SK SLC Devices
Use Table 3.3 to determine current requirements during alarm/battery standby operation when SK SLC devices are installed. The IFP-
300 FACP supports up to a total of 300 SLC devices, consisting of any combination of Sensors and Modules.
