Use Table 6 to determine the maximum current requirements of the
secondary power source during fire alarm conditions. The total obtained in
Table 6 is the amount of current that the batteries must be capable of
supplying. This figure will be used in Table 7 to determine the size of the
batteries needed to support five minutes of fire alarm operation.
It is presumed, in a fire alarm condition, that the batteries must feed the
main power supply and any additional supplies (APS-6R, AA-30,
AA-30E, AA-100E, AA-120, and AA-120E) with the maximum rated
power each supply can provide (Table 6).
Note: Due to the maximum rating of 9 amperes imposed when using
PS-12250 batteries, it may be necessary to calculate the exact
requirements of the secondary supply. In that case, add the
secondary non-fire alarm load obtained in Table 5 to the total fire
alarm current draw of all notification appliances in the system and
substitute that figure in Table 6 for the MPS and any APS-6R.
