4. Mount the cabinet, install any optional modules and the RJ31X
jack. Ensure correct RJ31X wiring. Existing RJ31X jacks are
often wired incorrectly.
All UL systems must use the fused RJ31X jack(s) included in
the ULB or ULF Installation Kit.
5. Connect the phone line(s) and perform the “Base Module Pre-
Installation Test”.
6. Complete the field wiring (AudioSensors, GlassBreaks, smoke
detectors, door switches, LCD keypads, etc.).
7. Download options from the programming computer into the
Advantage plus Base Module and all optional add-on
modules.
8. Adjust and calibrate (if applicable) system audio.
9. Test the system to ensure communications and proper
options.
AC POWER BUDGET
The Base Module’s AC power supply can continuously supply a total
of 1.9 Amps (thermally limited) at 12 VDC. By installing a battery,
the Base Module can supply up to 1.9 Amps of device current and
1.5 Amps of annunciation current for short periods of time.
The Base Module’s annunciator and auxiliary outputs are individually
protected by Positive Temperature Coefficient resistors (PTCs).
However, since UL requires internally fusing the AC power trans-
former, shorting an output with no battery present often blows the
transformer fuse before the PTC can react.
* The current drawn by the Base Module’s Audible/Visual
annunciators
cannot exceed the PTC limited 1,500mA (1.5
Amps).
* The Normal Standby or Alarm currents (excluding annuncia-
tors)
cannot exceed the PTC limited 1,900mA (1.9 Amps).
The UL Standby Battery Chart in the following section can also be
used to calculate the AC operation power budget. Adding an
additional 400 mA for charging dead batteries is recommended.
CALCULATING BATTERY STANDBY
In UL installations, the Normal Standby Current is limited by backup
capacity of the installed battery(s) rather than the available AC power.
To ensure the required backup power, you must always use this
lower current value in certificated UL installations. Table 1 shows
estimates of the maximum Normal Standby current available from
one or two 7AH batteries for UL requirements for 4 or 24 hour
battery operation

Before installation, compute the required standby current for all
accessories powered by the Base Module. The following factors
limit the equipment and devices powered by the Base Module:
The current drawn by the equipment and devices powered from
the Base Module
The UL requirement for at least 4 hours plus 15 minutes of
alarm battery life for UL Central Station Burglary, Proprietary
Burglary, Household Burglary, and Household Fire.
The UL requirement for at least 24 hours (plus 5 minutes of
alarm) battery life for UL Central Station Fire.
