SAC BUS POWER

1. Start the EST 3 System Builder program and select the 16 AWG check box.

2. Enter the actual alarm load for the first device and the distance from the control

panel to that device. The system will calculate the voltage drop and indicate

whether it is OK to continue.

3. Continue by adding the actual alarm load and the distance from the previous

device for each device on the SAC bus.

4. If you successfully enter all devices with no error messages, no further calculations

are required. The panel supply will be adequate and each device will receive

sufficient voltage.

5. If an error message occurs, you have the following options:

• Repeat the process using 14 AWG in step 1

• Run a second power supply line

• Divide the SAC bus and add a remote power supply
