Table 2 Module Current Ratings
2.7 Standby Battery calculation chart
1. All components that draw current from the panel while it is in the âstandbyâ mode (AC OFF)
must be considered for the standby battery calculation. All components that draw current
while in the âAlarmâ mode must be considered for the alarm battery calculation.
2. The control panel will always draw the currents as shown in the chart.
3. Typically the alarm current is calculated assuming only one initiating zone is in alarm. If it is
required that more than one zone be considered, add 60 mA per zone in the Alarm column.
Consult the smoke detector manufactureâs installation sheet to determine the standby
current of these devices. Write that number in the âcurrent per deviceâ column then multiply
that number by the number of devices on the zone. Repeat for each zone.
4. Consult the Notification Appliance installation sheet to determine the current draw for each
device connected to the NAC. For each NAC, calculate the total current in alarm and put
that number (mA) in the âAlarmâ column.
5. For each added module in the system, multiply the number of modules times the module
âstandbyâ and âalarmâ currents and write those totals in the âstandbyâ and âalarmâ columns.
6. Add up all the current drawn from the AUX+ output in the standby and alarm mode and put
those totals in the âstandbyâ and âalarmâ columns.
7. Add up all the currents in the âstandbyâ column and the âAlarmâ column.
8. Convert the âstandbyâ and âalarmâ currents from mA to Amps. (divide mA by 1000)

Notes: *Current noted assumes ONE initiating zone is in alarm. The âMax. Alarm Currentâ assumes all
zones are in alarm.
**Values shown are for all relays set for activation on âAlarmâ. Each relay set for activation on
âtroubleâ is normally energized and on âAC failâ will draw 0 mA.
Note: Each NAC can supply 1.5 Amps max.
