5 Sole Path Installation
5.1 Power Up Requirements
The TG-7FS LTE unit must comply with the NFPA 72 requirements which state that
the unit will have a secondary power source besides the main power source, that will
allow it to go remain uninterrupted for 24 hours at the end of which period it should
be able to handle 5 minutes of signal transmission on the secondary power source.
While for primary power source, the provided transformer is expected to be used,
the TG-7FS LTE units do not come with a battery included. However, the following
consumption rates are to be used to calculate the size of the battery required.
• 12VDC: 40mA (idle with link supervision enabled), 160mA (transmitting)
Note: For a UL approved installation, the transformer and connections must be
protected. A UL Listed pull box must be used in conjunction with a UL Listed outlet
box and receptacle. Same guidelines that apply to the FACP power supply
installation should apply here.
5.2 Signal Strength Requirements
It is recommended that the signal strength during the time of installation follows our
guidelines to reduce the amount of perceived network issues. Having a lower signal
strength than recommended may result in a higher number of incidents as it is the
nature of the cellular network to fluctuate in quality and bandwidth.
