Knowing this, the following rule applies for battery operation:
• The Base Module’s maximum Normal Standby current
cannot exceed the battery(s) Ampere-Hour (AH)
capacity divided by the number of hours of required
battery operation.
Example: two 7 AH batteries installed in a system
requiring 24 hours of backup operation.
7 x 2 = 14 AH
14 AH ÷ 24 Hours required backup = 0.58 Amp
Normal Standby current cannot exceed 0.58 Amps
To properly calculate the Advantage plus system’s battery
capacity you
MUST evaluate the Normal Standby and Alarm
current required by the system. Calculate a system’s Ampere-
Hour requirements using the following factors:
• the total system standby current load
• hours of required standby operation (24 hours for UL
Central Station Fire, 4 hours for other UL configura-
tions)
• the required duration of alarm signaling (normally 4
minutes for fire, 15 minutes for central station burglary).
NOTE: Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
before installing any Fire system. Local and/or
state fire ordinances could impose limitations on
the maximum number of smoke detectors
installed in one system.
CABINET AND MODULE INSTALLATION
CAUTION!
DO NOT INSTALL ADVANTAGE plus IN
LOCATIONS WHERE TEMPERATURES DROP
BELOW 0°F OR RISE ABOVE 122°F.
Mount the enclosure next to a standard 120VAC power
source to simplify AC wiring. See Figure 3 and do the
following:
1. Install the six Base Module standoffs by pressing them in
from the back of the cabinet. Also install the standoffs for
any optional modules.
2. Using the cabinet as a guide, mark the top two mounting
hole locations on the mounting surface.
3. Mount the top screws and place the cabinet keyholes on
the screws. Tighten the top screws and secure the cabinet
with the bottom screws.
4. Mount the Base Module on the standoffs installed in step
#1.
5. Mount any additional modules inside the cabinet on the
pop-in standoffs installed in step #1.
