*Assume three Initiating Circuits are in alarm.
'Use 0.084 for five minutes of alarm or 0.5 for thirty minutes of alarm as a multiplier figure.
Using the Secutron 1400 2-wire smoke detector.
Total Current Requirement:ALARM (B) _____ Amps. (Value obtained from column B)
Battery Capacity Requirement:
([STANDBY (A) ______ ] X [(24 or 60 Hours) ___ ]) + ([ALARM (B) ______ ] X [ ' Alarm in Hr.] _____) = (C)
______AH
Total Alarm Current: Must be 6 amperes or less for MR-2300 Series. Indicating Circuits must not exceed 5
amperes.
Battery Selection: Multiply (C) by 1.20 to derate battery.
