Appendix D: Power Supply & Batteries
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 1.20 to derate battery.
Batteries: BA-124 (24AH), BA-140 (40AH), and BA-165(65AH).
Above 40AH, 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 on page 75 for specifications.
