4.4 Battery Capacity Calculations
Maximum Battery recharge time must not exceed 72 hours to satisfy EN50131-6.
In the event of mains failure
EN50131-1:2006+A1:2009 specifies
that a stand-by battery should be
able to power the system for a non-
alarmed period of 12 hours,
providin
uthority specified maximum bell
alarm period is 15 minutes.
EXAMPLE
CALCULATION
Non-alarmed condition
11 hrs,45 mins=11.75 Hrs
Alarmed condition
15mins=0.25Hrs
Control panel 0.200A 0.200A
Keypad 0.050A 0.050A
8 PIRs (15mA each) 0.120A 0.120A
External sounder 0.050A 0.350A
External strobe 0.000A 0.150A
Total current 0.420A 0.870A
Amp/hour capacity
0.420A x 11.75h =
4.94Ah
0.870A x 0.25h =
0.22Ah
Minimum battery capacity: 3.22Ah + 0.29Ah = 3.51Ah
