42.0 Appendix F: Power Supply & Batteries for Audio
Use the form below to determine the required main chassis and secondary power supply
(batteries).
Total Current Requirement: ALARM (B)______ Amps.
Battery Capacity Requirement:
([STANDBY (A) ______ ] X [(24 or 60 Hours) ___ ]) + ([ALARM (B) ______ ] X [
♣
Alarm in Hr.] _____) = (C)
______AH
Battery Selection: Multiply answer above (C) by 1.25 to derate battery.
Batteries: BAT-12V26A (26AH), BAT-12V42A (42AH), and BAT-12V55A(55AH).
Above 42AH, batteries require a separate box (model BC-160).
♣
Use 0.084 for five minutes of alarm or 0.5 for thirty minutes of alarm as a multiplier figure.
IMPORTANT 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 Appendix A page 133 for specifications.
