10.0 6100 Technical Specification
General System Specification
Ambient Temperature Range
95% RH (no condensation, or icing)
Meets IP30 if mounted in a dry position that does not exceed the temperature
and humidity limits given. DO NOT position in areas subject to direct sunlight.
3 points surface mount or flush ( no bezel required when flush mounting )
24 Hours, assuming 100mA quiescent current then 700mA in-alarm current for
30 minutes. ( Note that currents are additions of panel, alarm, loop, auxiliary
24V and fire link ). The exact standby time must be calculated and then verified
by measurement
