Main Chassis Selection
Select MCC-1024-6(SA) if (B) is less than 12 Amps.
Battery Selection
Multiply (C) by 1.20 to derate battery.
Batteries: BA-110 (10AH) and BA-117(17AH) will fit in the BB-1024
BA-124(24AH) and BA-140(40AH) will fit in the BB-1072
* Assuming three initiating circuits in alarm.
♣
Use 0.084 for five minutes of alarm or 0.5 for thirty minutes of alarm as a multiplier figure.
♦
Using the MIR-525/U 2-wire smoke detector. See LT-1007 for other available smoke detectors.
IMPORTANT NOTICEIMPORTANT NOTICE
The main AC branch circuit connection for Fire Alarm Control Unit must provide a dedicated continuous
power without provision of any disconnect devices. Use #12 AWG wire with 600-volt insulation and proper
over-current circuit protection that complies with the local codes. Refer to 13.0 Appendix C:
Specifications on page 75 for specifications.
