3.6.1.2 Current Draw Worksheet for MS-25C ULC
Use to determine amp-hour requirements during alarm/battery standby operation. (Copy the
page if additional space is required.) You can install up to 25 SLC devices and two ANN-80C
Remote Annunciator. The maximum battery size for ULC installations is 18 Amp/hr.
