Power Supply Calculations
This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in alarm and standby conditions. This is a
1.Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the system
2.Calculating the power supply load current for
3.Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss occurs
4.Selecting the proper batteries for your system
5.2Calculating the AC Branch Circuit
The control panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which must be labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit must connect to the line side of the main power feed of the protected premises. No other
