8.4 Calculation of Power Consumption and Cable Loss
The fuses determine the maximum power load. The 24V cabling
should be dimensioned according to the power consumption and the
smallest voltage during load.
CAUTION
8.5 Power Supply and Battery Capacity
The battery capacity must be calculated according to the total power
consumption all units require in case no mains power is supplied.
Note that national/local requirements for battery backup may vary.
General Rules
Add all power loads in the Quiescent condition. The total current
consumption should then be multiplied with the required hours of
battery backup (typically 24 hours).
Then add the additional load in Alarm condition. As above, multiply
by the hours required for this condition (typically 0,5 hours)
The total required battery capacity which is now found needs a margin
of about 15 % for the life cycle of the battery.
In addition, the total current supplied by the fuses +24V Out1 and
+24V Out2 shall be safely below the 1.0A limit. The available total
current from the charger is 5,0A, and care must be taken to ensure
that the total charging current together with the overall load does not
exceed 5,0A. Also, the charging current available shall be capable of
charging the batteries fully within 24 hours.

Sourcing of power shall only be supplied via the fused
outputs (+24V Out 1- and Out 2) from the Fire Alarm Control
Panel. Connecting to battery or charger is not allowed as the
control of the charger voltage and current will become
malfunctional.
