Calculations C Appendix C Calculations This section describes current-loading and the process for determining the standby-battery rating, the NAC wiring length and the releasing-circuit wiring length. Current loading calculations do not include the combined IDC currents of the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel.
Calculations C Current loading calculations do not include the combined IDC currents of the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel. These combined IDC currents are negligible in comparison to fire control panel, ancillary device and NAC currents of the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel and are therefore excluded from the current loading calculation. Current-Loading Current-loading of the Quaestor-SZU Releasing Fire Control Panel is limited to the 2.
Calculations C NAC Wiring Length Determine the maximum wire length that can safely operate Notification Appliances under worst case conditions. To determine the maximum wire length under worst case conditions: 1 Identify the minimum operating-voltage (Vopmin) of Notification Appliances on the NAC channel. 2 Calculate the maximum current of the circuit (Imax). 3 Identify the wire-resistance-per-foot of the circuit (Rwire). 4 Calculate the maximum wire length (Lmax) of the circuit.
Calculations 3 4 C Identify the maximum resistance of the wire gage used in the circuit (Rwiremax) when using 18 AWG copper. An 18 AWG solid copper wire is 6.385 Ohms at 1000FT using the Resistance Table below: Gage Resistance / 1000Ft @ 68F Rwire 18 AWG 6.385 Ohms 0.006385 Ohms / FT 16 AWG 4.016 Ohms 0.004016 Ohms / FT 14 AWG 2.525 Ohms 0.002525 Ohms / FT The calculation for the minimum output voltage of the NAC is: Voutmin = Vpanel X 85% = 24 VDC X 85% Voutmin = 20.
Calculations C The figure below illustrates an example circuit for determining maximum wire length where values are provided for minimum operating-voltage of the NAC channel output (Vopmin), maximum current of the circuit (Imax), wire-resistance-per-foot of the circuit (Rwire) and maximum current-draw of the strobe (Istrobe): Figure C-1 Example Circuit For Determining Maximum Wire Length Lmax = 548 FT Istrobe Istrobe + Vopmin VF1895-00 10K EOL resistor + + - Istrobe + .209 A + + + - .
Calculations C Releasing-Circuit Wiring Length The releasing-valve is dependant on sufficient releasing-voltage at the solenoid-terminals to provide actuation. Releasing-valve actuation cannot occur when losses in the releasing circuit prevent sufficient voltage from occurring at the solenoid-terminals. Installers must determine the maximum wire length that can safely provide operating voltage at the solenoid terminals to negate losses of the releasing circuit.
Calculations Parameter Description Equation Vdrop Allowable voltage loss of the circuit between the voltage source and the SRV. Vdrop = Voutmin - Vopmin - VEOLD Imax Maximum current of the circuit when the SRV is operating at minimum level. Imax = WSRVmax / Vopmin Rwire Resistance-per-foot of the wire gage specified for the circuit. Reference the wire gauge resistance table provided in this section. Lmax Maximum wire length of the circuit.
Calculations 2 C Calculate the minimum operating-voltage (VSRVmin) of the Solenoid Release Valve (SRV) when it is 65% of the nominal rating. where, Vopmin = VSRVnominal X %Vout = 24 VDC x 0.65 Vopmin = 15.6 VDC 3 Calculate the voltage-drop of the circuit (Vdrop) when the EXTING. output is at the minimum level (Voutmin) and when the operating-voltage of the SRV is at the minimum level (VSRVmin). where, Vdrop = Voutmin - Vopmin - VEOLD = 20.4 VDC - 15.6 VDC - .07 VDC Vdrop = 4.
Calculations 5 C Identify the resistance-per-foot of the wire gage used in the circuit (Rwiremax) when using 18 AWG copper. The table below describes the resistance-per-foot of an 18 AWG solid-copper-wire: Gage Resistance / 1000Ft @ 68F Rwire 18 AWG 6.385 Ohms 0.006385 Ohms / FT 16 AWG 4.016 Ohms 0.004016 Ohms / FT 14 AWG 2.525 Ohms 0.002525 Ohms / FT Rwire = 0.
