Procedure:
1. Calculate total panel supervisory current (A).
2. Calculate total panel alarm current (B1) [convert mA to A, example: 350 mA = 0.35 A]. Copy (B1) into block (B2).
3. Calculate total NAC loads alarm current from notification appliance ratings (C).
4. Add (C) + (B2) to determine total alarm current (D).
5. Total of IDNet Device Current (A1) + Auxiliary Power Output Current (A2) + SLC Loads Alarm Current (C) is 8 A
maximum.
6. Refer to Simplex battery selection document 900-012 for recommended battery size for specific standby requirements
(i.e., 24 hours supervisory, 5 minutes of alarm). Internal cabinet space is provided for batteries up to 12.7 Ah.
7. Most TrueAlert appliances/devices are one unit load, Isolators are 4 unit loads. Refer to Field Wiring Diagram 842-158.
