AC POWER BUDGET

The Base Module’s AC power supply can continuously supply a total of 1.9 Amps (thermally limited) at 12 VDC. By installing a battery, the Base Module can supply up to 1.9 Amps of device current and

1.5 Amps of annunciation current for short periods of time.

The Base Module’s annunciator and auxiliary outputs are individually protected by Positive Temperature Coefficient resistors (PTCs). However, since UL requires internally fusing the AC power transformer, shorting an output with no battery present often blows the transformer fuse before the PTC can react.

* The current drawn by the Base Module’s Audible/Visual

annunciators Amps).

* The Normal Standby or Alarm currents (excluding annuncia-

tors)

cannot exceed the PTC limited 1,900mA (1.9 Amps).

The UL Standby Battery Chart in the following section can also be used to calculate the AC operation power budget. Adding an additional 400 mA for charging dead batteries is recommended.

cannot exceed the PTC limited 1,500mA (1.5

CALCULATING BATTERY STANDBY

In UL installations, the Normal Standby Current is limited by backup capacity of the installed battery(s) rather than the available AC power. To ensure the required backup power, you must always use this lower current value in certificated UL installations. Table 1 shows estimates of the maximum Normal Standby current available from one or two 7AH batteries for UL requirements for 4 or 24 hour battery operation

Table 1. Battery versus Standby Current

setuniM51+sruoH4A2.1A9.1 setuniM5+sruoH42A2.0A4.0

Before installation, compute the required standby current for all accessories powered by the Base Module. The following factors limit the equipment and devices powered by the Base Module:

• The current drawn by the equipment and devices powered from the Base Module

• The UL requirement for at least 4 hours plus 15 minutes of alarm battery life for UL Central Station Burglary, Proprietary Burglary, Household Burglary, and Household Fire.

• The UL requirement for at least 24 hours (plus 5 minutes of alarm) battery life for UL Central Station Fire.

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 current required by the system. Calculate a system’s AmpereHour 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 configurations)

• the required duration of alarm signaling (normally 4 minutes for fire, 15 minutes for central station burglary).

NOTE: Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)

MUST evaluate the Normal Standby and Alarm

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

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.
