9.3.1 Input 
Parameter  SPB-80/4 and SPB-160  SPB-320 
Input Voltage  120VAC, 3.8A, 50-60 Hz  120VAC, 7.4A, 50-60 Hz 
Battery Backup  24VDC, Up to 33Ah  24VDC, Up to 33Ah 
9.3.2 Battery Current Calculations 
The current draw of the Series SPB Audio Booster is determined by the configuration being 
utilized. Section 4.8, Battery Care and Batteries Calculation, will assist you in developing the 
current requirements. 
9.3.3 Activation Inputs 
The panel audio output is activated by applying a 1V, 25V, or 70.7V to AUD IN. Power 
consumption is 1.2 Watts @ 70.7V and 0.25 Watts @ 25V. 
The AUX IN is triggered using 8 – 33VDC at 10mA in NAC mode or with contact closure in CC 
mode.
