7.8 Four-Wire Smoke Power (regulated)
Four-wire smoke power is provided for four-wire smoke detectors. This filtered supply is
supervised therefore a short will disconnect the power and the common trouble is active. The
power is reconnected after the 'RESET' key is pressed. See 16.0 Appendix D:
Specifications on page 105 for supply rating.
