Battery Capacity Requirement:
Battery (AH) = (Standby Current Total x Discharge Time) + (Alarm Current Total x Alarm Time)
(
[STANDBY (A) ______ ] X [(24 or 60 Hours) ___ ] ) + ( [ALARM (B) ______ ] X [Alarm in Hr. _____ ] ) = (C) ______AH
Total Alarm Current must be 5.5 amperes or less. Indicating Circuits must not to exceed 5 amperes.
Battery Selection:
Battery Size = Multiply (C) by 1.20 to derate battery.
Mircom recommends the following batteries for use with this panel:
Batteries: BA-110 (12 AH) will fit into the FX-350 backbox.
BA-110 (12 AH) and BA-117 (18 AH) will fit into the FX-351/353 backboxes.
BA-124 (26 AH) batteries will fit into the BC-160 Battery Cabinet.
Use of alternative batteries may result in failure of the panel to meet agency and regulatory requirements, and may
result in shortened battery life. Batteries should be tested regularly, and replaced at least every three years.
Notes: 1. Assumes 25% of Zone LEDS (i.e. 15) are ON during alarm.
2. See specific installation documentation for standby and alarm currents for other
annunciators listed in Panel Components and Accessories. Observe maximum auxiliary
power supply ratings for lamp test conditions for remote annunciators.
