Standby batteries
Caution: To avoid damage to equipment, do not connect standby batteries unless the control panel is already
powered up using AC power. See “Initial power up” on page 34.
To provide continued panel operation in the event mains power is interrupted, the 24 VDC rechargeable battery
circuit on the PS10-4B Power Supply has the capacity to charge up to two 65 Ah sealed lead acid standby
batteries.
Up to two 17 Ah sealed lead acid standby batteries can be housed on the battery tray in the CAB6B backbox (see
Figure 21 on page 79 for the compartment location). Install batteries larger than 17 Ah in a separate listed
enclosure.
Use the diagram in Figure 27 when connecting the battery wiring to the power supply. Before connecting the
batteries, confirm the panel is already powered up using AC power.

Connecting auxiliary/booster power supplies
UL requires that you monitor secondary power sources housed in auxiliary and booster power supply enclosures
for loss of AC power to ensure that:
• Upon loss of AC power, the control panel must provide an audible and visible trouble signal.
• Remote station, central station, and proprietary-type protected premises units must transmit a trouble signal
off-premises.
To meet UL requirements you need to connect a GSA-CC1 (or GSA-CC1S) and a GSA-CT1 to the booster
supply. The GSA-CC1 is used to activate the booster supply and to signal common troubles. The GSA-CT1 is
used to signal booster supply AC power failures.
