process. Refer to DIP Switch Settings on page 1. The power supply settings must be performed to establish the
optimal charge current of the standby batteries. These power supplies can be set to operate at inputs of 115
VAC or 230 VAC. For more information about the power supplies and their functions, see "Power Supplies" on
page 86.
The 5.25 Amp Power Supply
The 5.25 Amp Power Supply contains a jumper setting for changing from 115 VAC to 230 VAC. Check the
jumper setting prior to wiring and operating the 5.25 Amp Power Supply with the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
Confirm that the 5.25 Amp Power Supply is set for 230 VAC before operating at 230 VAC. Permanent damage
of the power supply will result if the 115 VAC jumper setting exists while operating the power supply at 230 VAC.

Remove jumper J1 before operating the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel at 230 VAC. Failure to
remove jumper J1 prior to operating at 230 VAC will cause permanent damage to the 5.25 Amp power supply.
.
High voltage present on jumper pins. Remove AC power before changing jumper setting.
Voltage Jumper Required

115 Yes
230 No
Refer to "Connecting Field Wiring" on page 33 for specific details about wiring the power supplies. Provide an
AC power connection to the terminal block from a 15 Amp branch circuit. The following figure illustrates AC
connections of the 5.25 Amp Power Supply:
1. Connect a wire from the ground terminal ( ) to the grounding block of the cabinet box.
2. Connect a wire from the grounding block of the cabinet box to a ground. Provide this connection in close proximity to
the cabinet box.

3. Connect a wire from the neutral terminal (N) to the neutral of the power source.
4. Connect a wire from the line terminal (L) to the line of the power source.
The 10.25 Amp Power Supply

Unlike the 5.25 Amp Power Supply, the 10.25 Amp Power Supply does not require a jumper to switch between
115 VAC and 230 VAC. The 10.25 Amp Power Supply provides an auto-detect feature that automatically
compensates for input voltages of 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
Provide an AC power connection to the terminal block from a 15 Amp branch circuit. To connect AC power to the
10.25 Amp Power Supply:
1. Connect a wire from the ground terminal ( ) to the grounding block of the cabinet box.
2. Connect a wire from the grounding block of the cabinet box to a ground. Provide this connection in close proximity to
the cabinet box.
3. Connect a wire from the neutral-terminal (N) to the neutral of the power source.
4. Connect a wire from the line-terminal (L) to the line of the power source.
Connecting Standby Batteries

The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel provides connections for two standby batteries. Refer to
"Calculations" on page 137 for determining the minimum required battery capacity for your fire alarm system. If
your required battery capacity exceeds the space available in the cabinet, an appropriately-sized auxiliary UL
listed battery cabinet suitable for fire alarm service will be required. If needed, install that cabinet (wired close-
nippled) adjacent to the panel to minimize battery lead length.
Battery terminals and leads are not power-limited. Shorts can cause a fire or an explosion. Use extreme caution
while connecting standby batteries.
.
Refer to "Connecting Field Wiring" on page 33 for specific details about connecting the standby batteries.
1. Place two 12 VDC, VRLA, rechargeable, standby batteries in the base of the cabinet.
2. Orient terminals of the standby batteries so that the positive ( + ) terminal of one standby battery is facing the
negative ( - ) terminal of the other.
3. Connect the black wire of the power supply to the negative ( - ) terminal of Battery 1.
4. Connect the red wire of the power supply to the positive ( + ) terminal of Battery 2.
5. Connect the jumper wire from the ( + ) of Battery 1 to the ( - ) of Battery 2.
6. Route battery leads at least 0.25" from all other cabling.

The series connection described provides the 24 V standby voltage required by the panel. Do not connect the
two batteries in parallel. A parallel connection will not provide the 24 V required for operating the panel in a
standby condition.
The battery connections can be made while AC power on or off. If AC power is off, the battery connection will not
be recognized (and the unit will remain unpowered) until AC is restored. Once AC power is on and the batteries
are connected, examine the LED Status Indicators on the power supply:
l Confirm that the AC NORMAL and DC OUT ON indicators are both illuminated, and the HEARTBEAT indicator is
blinking yellow.
l Confirm that BATTERY DISCON is off. If it is on, recheck the battery connections and test or replace the batteries.
l Wait 3 minutes and confirm that no trouble indicators are illuminated.
Using a volt meter, measure the voltage across each battery separately. Typically, the voltage of each battery will
measure 12.0 to 14.5 volts depending on the level of charge. Voltages below 12.0 are possible if the battery is
severely discharged. Compare the two battery voltages. A difference of more than 1 volt may indicate a problem
with the batteries.

Installing Optional Panel Modules

Panel modules are installed at the factory according to customer requirements. In some situations, it may be
necessary to install additional panel modules to satisfy site configuration requirements. This section describes
procedures for installing and configuring panel modules. Before installing optional panel modules, check and set
the DIP switch settings, if applicable.
DIP Switch Settings
Each panel module of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel must contain a unique setting before
being connected to the Main Back Board. The binary setting of the DIP switch sets the specific address for the
panel module. The numeric order of the address setting between modules does not impact operation, but each
panel module must be assigned a separate / unique address.
The black portion of the DIP switch identifies the switch actuator.
NOTE Address 0 is shown above for illustrative purposes only. Address 0 should never be used.
For addresses above 15, switches 5 and 6 will need to be used.

l For address 16-31, switch 5 should be in the ON position. Switch 5 ALONE adds 16 to the address number. For
example, for address 20, set the switch position to address 4 shown above and switch 5 in the ON position.
l For address 32-47, switch 6 should be in the ON position. Switch 6 ALONE adds 32 to the address number.
l For address 48-63, switches 5 AND 6 should be in the ON position. Switches 5 and 6 TOGETHER adds 48 to the
address number.

Placement
To install modules on the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel:
1. Disconnect AC power and standby batteries prior to performing the module installation.
2. Remove the retaining screw and plastic cover.
3. Remove the panel module from the protective packaging using adequate electrostatic protection.
4. Point the conductor side of the panel module toward the backplate.
5. Insert the notched end of the panel module in the metal guide notch of the backplate at an angle, as shown.
NOTE The photo above is an example of panel module placement and may not be representative of the specific

4. Reconnect the battery and restore AC power.
Network Connections
Provide network connections to NETWORK IN and NETWORK OUT terminals of the FireNET L@titude Fire
Alarm Control Panel's Main Back Board after installing the Network Module. The following figure illustrates the
typical network connections of a 3 panel, Class X network:

NOTE Because network connections are supervised, if a network module is installed and there are no other devices on
the network, the IN and OUT network terminals must be connected together to prevent an
OPEN CIRCUIT TROUBLE indication.

Fiber Optic Networking

When designing or installing a network of panels, any network segment or combination of segments can be
connected with fiber optic cable instead of copper wire. Two fiber optic converters are required per segment as
shown. Connections between the panel and the converter must be within 20 feet and wired in conduit (or
equivalently protected against mechanical injury). Converter DIP Switch settings must be set as shown . Refer to
the "Equipment List" on page 121 for the model numbers of the fiber converters.

Detailed Fiber Converter Wiring Diagram

Do not insert more than one conductor per terminal. Use wire nuts or other suitable splice connectors to
connect the 24V DC cables to both the AUX 24V OUT and RTN terminals.

Connecting Field Wiring

Power-limited conductors must be installed using Types FPL, FPLR, FPLP, or equivalent cables. When
connecting field wiring, separate high and low voltage wiring in the enclosure with a minimum gap of 0.25".
Do not route low voltage cabling through the same conduit as AC lines. AC power lines should be threaded
through a dedicated conduit.
Refer to the illustration on the following page when connecting any wiring.


Class A SLC Loops
1. Connect Class A loops to the terminal

strip of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
2. When the loop is unused, the loop

termination jumpers provided with the
panel should be replaced with 14-22 AWG
SLC cable.
The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm

Control Panel provides a trouble signal when
unused loops are not terminated. All loops
are supervised.
Follow NFPA guidelines for placement of
isolators with Class A wiring.

Class B SLC Loops
Class B loops may not be permitted in all

regions. Check local codes of practice before
using Class B SLC circuit configurations.
1. Connect Class B loops to both the IN and
OUT terminals of the terminal strip. Do not
insert more than one conductor per terminal.
Use wire nuts or other suitable splice
connectors to connect the Class B loop cable
to both the IN and OUT terminals.
2. When the loop is unused, the loop termination

jumpers provided with the panel should be
replaced with 14-22 AWG SLC cable.
SLC cabling must be sized according to length

and device load to ensure that the voltage-drop
of the cable does not result in an inadequate
operating voltage on the circuit.
Refer to the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm
Control Panel Installation Manual (MAN-
1431HA) for an example of how isolators may be
used on a Class B circuit.

Class X SLC Loops
1. Connect Class X
loops to the terminal
strip of the FireNET
L@titude Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
2. When the loop is

unused, the loop
termination jumpers
provided with the
panel should be
replaced with 14-22
AWG SLC cable.
The FireNET L@titude

Fire Alarm Control Panel
provides a trouble signal
when unused loops are
not terminated. All loops
are supervised. Follow
NFPA guidelines for
placement of isolators
with Class X wiring.
When using Class X
wiring, SCI Short Circuit
Isolators must be installed
before and after each
analog addressable
device on the SLC loop.
Alternatively, analog
devices with built-in SCI
may be used.
NOTE The wiring from

the control panel to the
first SCI and from the last
SCI back to the control
panel must be in conduit.

Notification Appliances
Notification appliance circuits can be configured in pairs for Class A operation. Class A operation can be
assigned to the first pair of notification appliance circuits (NAC1&2) or the second pair (NAC3&4) or both pairs.
When wiring a pair of NACs for Class A operation, only one of the two End-of-Line diodes is used. Remove the
one from the +/- terminals of the first NAC. Leave the other in-place on the terminals of the second NAC.
For Class B operation, the End-of-Line diode must be removed from the NAC terminals and connected across
the terminals of the last device on the NAC circuit.
Branching of Class A or Class B notification appliance circuits prevents proper circuit supervision and is not
permitted.
Connecting Notification Appliances
Connection of notification appliances in a Class A Connection of notification appliances in a Class B

configuration. configuration.
Do not insert more than one conductor per terminal. Use wire nuts or other suitable splice connectors to connect
the end-of-line diode and Class A loop return wire. Cable gauge must be sized according to length and device
load to ensure that voltage-drop of the cable does not result in less than the minimum operating voltage of the
notification appliances. Different limitations will apply for devices with a higher or lower minimum working
voltage. Refer to "Specifications" on page 100 for cabling information.
To install notification appliances on the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel:
1. Connect notification appliances and End-Of-Line diodes to the NAC output.
2. Connect End-Of-Line diodes to unused NAC outputs.
3. Maintain the limit for maximum wire length of the circuit.
Notification appliances connected to NAC outputs on a single panel are synchronized. Notification appliances
connected to SLC loops on a single panel are synchronized. However, notification appliances on separate
panels are not synchronized. Per NFPA 72,

The installation of one group of synchronized-audible notification appliances shall not be installed in
Audible Devices
hearing range of another group of synchronized-audible NACs.
The installation of one group of synchronized-visual notification appliances shall not be installed in line-of-
Visual Devices
sight of another group of synchronized-visual notification appliances.
Refer to "Equipment List" on page 121 for synchronization devices that are UL listed and authorized for use with
the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Refer to "Calculations" on page 137 to determine wire size
requirements for your application.
Connections for NAC Power Output Modes
There are 3 NAC power output modes: continuous constant power, door holder, and resettable. NAC power
outputs can be wired as 2-wire or 4-wire circuits as shown. When wired using 2-wire configuration, select "Class
B" in the configuration menu. When wired using 4-wire configuration, select "Class A" in the configuration menu.
When using a NAC in a power output mode,

each device requires a blocking diode (not
provided) to be connected in series. These
diodes can be any of the following:
l Diodes, Inc., Part No.: 6A1-T
l SMC Diode Solutions, Part No.:6A1TA
l Micro Commercial Co., Part No.: 6A1-TP
l Any equivalent standard silicon diode with

parameters of:
n Radial Lead Diameter: 1.0 mm
minimum
n Peak Reverse Voltage: 40 V

minimum
n Average Forward Rectified Current:

6.0 A minimum
Regardless of the wiring schema,

When the NAC is used in continuous constant power mode, it is a special application output with a voltage
range of 20.0 - 26.4V. It can be used to power Hochiki ASB and ASB-L sounder bases. When powering these
devices, the circuit acts as a Class B pathway. The wiring loss must not exceed 4V.

When configuring for door holder, the circuit is a regulated 24V output and meets the requirements for a Class D
circuit.
When the NAC is used in resettable mode, it is a special application output with a voltage range of 20.0 - 26.4V.
It can be used to power the following:
l System Sensor i3 series Models: 4W-B, 4WT-B, 4WTA-B, 4WTR-B, 4WTAR-B, 4WITAR-B
l System Sensor i4 Series Models: COSMO-4W, COSMOD4W
l System Sensor End-of-Line Relay: EOLR-1
When powering these devices, the circuit acts as a Class B pathway only when an EOLR-1 is the last device on
the circuit and the relay contacts are supervised. The wiring loss must not exceed 8V. Refer to the
System Sensor Installation Instructions for wiring information.
AUX 24V 1 and AUX 24V 2
The AUX 24V output terminals provide regulated, non-programmable 24V DC for powering ancillary devices
such as loop modules, I/O boards, and remote displays. The outputs are fused at 900 mA and include a
maximum load rating of 900 mA. Outputs of AUX 24V 1 and AUX 24V 2 are also supervised for circuit trouble
conditions.
Wiring gauge on AUX 24V 1 or AUX 24V 2 outputs must be sized as a function of cable length and device load to
ensure that voltage-drop of the cable does not result in less than the minimum operating voltage at the ancillary
devices.
Connect the ancillary devices to the

OUT terminals. The OUT terminals supply 24V
power and provide short circuit monitoring.
Connect RTN terminals to the last ancillary
device. The RTN terminals provide open circuit
monitoring.
NOTE If open circuit monitoring is not required,

the RTN terminals must be connected to the OUT
terminals to prevent reporting of
OPEN CIRCUIT TROUBLE.
This illustrates a Class B circuit that provides open circuit

monitoring.

Section 3: Overview
Notification Appliances
Notification Appliances operate with the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel in a special application or
regulated mode. The panel supports the simultaneous operation of regulated and special application outputs
between NACs.
The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel does not support the simultaneous operation of regulated and
special application outputs on the same NAC channel.
The panel supports special application outputs when operating:
l Gentex NAC devices
l System Sensor NAC devices
l Wheelock NAC devices
l Amseco NAC devices
Synchronization modules are not required and should not be used on special application outputs.
Synchronization
NAC synchronization can be performed across all NAC channels of an individual panel. NAC synchronization
cannot be performed across multiple panels.
The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel provides internal device synchronization between the outputs
of NACs when operating NAC devices from Gentex, Amseco, System Sensor, or Wheelock without the use of
an external synchronization module. External synchronization modules must not be used on the NAC outputs
when operating in the synchronization mode.
NOTE While most systems only use one device manufacturer, the L@titude panel can synchronize strobe devices
from any two manufacturers simultaneously. Devices from different manufacturers cannot be combined on the same
channel. Audible synchronization across manufacturers can only be accomplished between Gentex and System Sensor.
The maximum number of strobes that can be synchronized for each brand is
l Amseco 2.37A / 88mA = 27 appliances
l Gentex 2.5A / 78mA = 32 appliances
l System Sensor 1.32A / 66mA = 20 appliances
l Wheelock 2.5A / 60mA = 41 appliances
Configuring NAC Outputs

Settings are provided in the panel GUI and Loop Explorer 2 for controlling the NAC outputs of the FireNET
L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Selections are available in these utilities for providing outputs with

Section 3: Overview
synchronization or various forms of constant power. Settings are also provided to allow the Alarm Silence button
to operate on the front panel in various modes.
Review the settings described below to configure each NAC output for operation.
General Alarm and Emergency are selected as default conditions. Alternative output options for this field
Output Options include Auxiliary Output, Pre-Alarm Output, Supervisory Alarm, and Trouble. Do not select the General
Alarm option if the NAC channel is to be controlled by cause-and-effect programming.
Strobe Output is not selected for operation as a default condition. Selecting this field allows the user to
Strobe
define which synchronization protocol to be used.
When the Strobe option above is not selected, Off is selected as the default operating condition. Options
for this output are continuous constant power, door holder, and resettable.
NAC AUX 24V DC l Continuous constant power provides a voltage output comparable to AUX 24V.
l Door holder outputs lose power during fire alarm conditions and/or during AC power loss.
l Resettable causes power loss that lasts 4-5 seconds each time the panel is reset.
Each NAC is configurable in reaction to the Alarm Silence button on the front panel. Edit properties of the
NAC channel in Loop Explorer 2. Select the box for Silencing if NAC silencing is required on this channel.
Alarm Silence
If Internal Synchronization Protocols are in use, an option is also available to Silence the strobe. Failure to
check the Strobe Silence box will cause horns to be silenced with continued operation of the strobe.
For more details, refer to NAC Output Specifications.

Section 3: Overview
Optional Modules and Assemblies

system to maintain continuous signal monitoring and reporting. Operating constraints are based on the current-
driving capability of the panel while maintaining external loading caused by devices and cabling.
External loading must be selected within the limits of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel to provide
continuous operation. External loading is caused by individual or multiple combinations of Signaling Line Circuits,
Notification Appliance Circuits, and Initiating Devices. It is also caused by the size and length of cabling
connections. Refer to "Calculations" on page 137 to determine the appropriate size and length of cabling.

Compatible Devices for Auxiliary 24V
Device Model Description

L@titude Vision Unit S787 FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel
Multichannel Input / Output Card S560 16 Channel I/O Interface
Power connections of the remote display and annunciators must be terminated at the 24V terminals of the 24V
OUT or AUX 24V on the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel.

Appendix C: Calculations
Current loading of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel is limited to the capacity of the power
supplies. Installers must determine the loading placed on these power supplies by adding the sum of device
loads to the no load alarm current of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. The result obtained from
this calculation must be below the operating current of the power supply.
The 5.25 Amp Power Supply operates the fire control panel and external loads with 5.25 Amps and reserves
1.25 Amps for charging the standby batteries.
The 10.25 Amp Power Supply operates the fire control panel and external loads with 10.25 Amps and reserves
2.25 Amps for charging the standby batteries.
Current limits are provided in "Specifications" on page 100 for outputs of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm
Control Panel. Total device currents must be below limits provided for all outputs of the fire control panel.
The calculation of total current loading must include the sum of device loads on the circuit outputs of the FireNET
L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Circuits to be included in this calculation for total current loading are:
l SLC Loops
l NAC Outputs
l 24V OUT
l AUX 24V
l Peripheral Interface Modules
l Network Module
l Panel Standby and Alarm Currents
The current limits provided in "Specifications" on page 100 are maximums for individual outputs of the fire control
panel. These output-levels are not intended to be summed together to determine the total current available from
the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Refer to these levels only when determining the limit of device-
loading on each output circuit.

SLC Loop Cabling

The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel requires that SLC Loops include wire gauge and lengths
specified in tables of this section.
The maximum allowable voltage drop of 5.5 volts is necessary on the SLC loop to maintain the minimum device
operating voltage of 17 volts. The worst case voltage drop occurs when the load is located at the farthest point
from the terminals of the fire control panel. The worst case range of voltage at the source (Vsource) is 23 to 30.5
volts.
Example Voltage Drop Condition
The following example demonstrates the impact of cable size and length on output circuits. A twin-wire of 16
AWG cabling is connected to SLC loop 1. The length of the 16 AWG cable is 1000 ft (305 m) and the device-load
on the loop is 400 mA. The device-load of 400 mA is determined from manufacturer data sheets. The following
figure illustrates the example SLC voltage drop condition of 16 AWG cable:
A voltage-drop of 1.6064V DC is determined from the table of 16 AWG cable for a single wire length of 1000 ft
(305 m) and a load of 400 mA. The resistance of one wire of the 16 AWG cable is 4.016 Ω at 1000 ft.
Voltage-drop of the twin cable
(Vcable 1 + Vcable 2 ) = (1.6064V DC + 1.6064V DC) = 3.2128V DC
Voltage at the load
Vload = Vsource - (Vcable 1 + Vcable 2 ) = 24V DC - (1.6064V DC + 1.6064V DC) = 20.7872V DC
A voltage of 20.7872 VDC is available to operate the device at this circuit location.

Shading of the SLC tables identify cable length and load combinations that are not permitted for SLC loop
devices. Dark shading represents cable lengths that are not permitted when SLC circuits contain five or more
isolators. Light shading represents cable lengths that are not permitted without the connection of isolators in the
SLC circuit.
Twin cables are connected to SLC loop terminals of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Data
provided in SLC tables of this section represent resistance and voltage from a single cable-conductor.
Resistance and voltage levels obtained from these tables must include the secondary conductor of the twin cable
during the evaluation process. SLC tables are provided for the following recommended wire gauges:
14 AWG 2.525 Ohms / 1000 ft

16 AWG 4.016 Ohms / 1000 ft
18 AWG 6.385 Ohms / 1000 ft

NAC Cabling
The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel requires that NAC circuits include wire gauge and lengths
specified in tables of this section. Shading of the tables identify cable length and load combinations that are not
permitted for NAC devices.
Twin cables are connected to NAC terminals of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Data provided
in the tables of this section represent resistance and voltage from a single cable-conductor. Resistance and
voltage levels obtained from these tables must include the secondary conductor of the twin cable during the
evaluation process.
Cable length values in the tables represent worst case conditions with the total load at the farthest point from
terminals of the fire control panel. Voltage drops are represented with a depleted battery of 20.4V. Minimum
output voltage is 20V. maximum allowable voltage drop is 4V to ensure a minimum of 16V at the device.
Tables are provided for the following recommended wire gauges:
12 AWG 1.588 Ohms / 1000 ft

14 AWG 2.525 Ohms / 1000 ft
16 AWG 4.016 Ohms / 1000 ft

AUX 24V Cabling

The FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel requires that AUX 24V circuits include wire gauge and lengths
specified in tables of this section.
Twin cables are connected to AUX 24V terminals of the FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel. Data
provided in AUX 24V tables of this section represent resistance and voltage from a single cable-conductor.
Resistance and voltage levels obtained from these tables must include the secondary conductor of the twin cable
during the evaluation process.
Cable length values in the tables represent worst case conditions with the total load at the farthest point from
terminals of the fire control panel.
AUX 24V tables are provided for the following recommended wire gauges:
12 AWG 1.588 Ohms / 1000 ft

14 AWG 2.525 Ohms / 1000 ft
16 AWG 4.016 Ohms / 1000 ft
12 AWG Cable

Determining the Total Load Current

The following example demonstrates the process for determining the total load current of the FireNET L@titude
Fire Alarm Control Panel:
1. Identify the current draw of each device on the circuit connection.
2. Add the device currents together in each circuit connection.
3. Compare the sum of the device currents with the current limit of each circuit connection to verify that the summed
level is below the current limit value.
4. Add the device load currents together that were obtained for each of the circuit connections:
Circuit Connection Maximum Current Limit Example Load Current

SLC Loop 1 400 mA 150 mA
SLC Loop 2 400 mA 50 mA
AUX 24V 900 mA 0
NAC 1 2.5 A 750 mA continuous DC
NAC 2 2.5 A 925 mA continuous DC
Total Device Load 1.875 A
5. Add the Total Device Load to the no-load alarm current to obtain the Total Load Current.
6. Total Device Load + FireNET L@titude Fire Alarm Control Panel No-Load = Total Load Current
1.875 + 200 mA = 2.075 A

Total Load Current = 2.075 A
7. Verify that the current level is below 4 Amps: 2.075 A < 4 A
8. This example demonstrates that device loading does not exceed the 4 Amp capacity of the power supply.
NOTE 1.25 A of the 5.25 A power supply is reserved for battery charging.
Refer to "Specifications" on page 100 for the maximum current limits provided in the example calculation above.

Determining the Standby Battery Capacity

This section provides guidelines for determining the standby battery rating. For power supply applications that do
not include fire alarm equipment, alarm current is the dynamic current present during operation of the power
supply. Standby current is the static current present when the power supply is not operating an alarm.
Battery Rating Equation
The equation below describes the method for determining the amp hour rating of the standby batteries:
Battery Rating = ( Battery De-Rating Factor ) x [ ( Standby amp hours ) + ( Alarm amp hours )]
OR
Battery Rating = ( Battery De-Rating Factor ) x [ ( 24 hours x Standby-Current ) + ( 5 Minutes x Alarm Current)]
where the battery de-rating factor = 1.2 and 5 minutes = 5 / 60 minutes = 1/12 = .0833 hours
To determine the amp hour rating of standby batteries:
1. Record the standby current of the power supply.
2. Record the standby current of the fire control panel. This current includes the LCD Main Processor Board, the Main
Back Board, System A Panel Module, and System B Panel Module. It does not include current of the power supply
and circuit boards in Slots C through F.
3. Record the standby current of circuit boards populating Slots C through F.
4. Record the standby current of SLC, NAC, and auxiliary devices.
5. Total standby currents.
6. Record the alarm current of the power supply.
7. Record the alarm current of the fire control panel. This current includes the LCD Main Processor Board, the Main
Back Board, System A Panel Module, and System B Panel Module. It does not include current of the power supply
and circuit boards in slots C through F.
8. Record the alarm current of circuit boards populating slots C through F of the panel.
9. Record the alarm current of SLC, NAC, and auxiliary devices.
10. Total alarm currents.
11. Multiply the total standby current with the standby-time of 24, 48, or 72 hours to provide the result in amp hours.
12. Multiply the total alarm current with the alarm time 5 or 15 minutes to provide the result in amp hours.
13. Combine the sum of amp hours for total standby and alarm.
14. Determine the minimum required amp hour capacity of the standby battery by multiplying the combined Amp hours
with the 1.2 de-rating factor.
15. Select a battery with a capacity rating equal or greater than the minimum required amp hour capacity determined
from this calculation.
