Use the detector manufacturers’ technical information to calculate the load on the loop for both the quiescent condition and fire alarm
condition for all loop devices. By default, a maximum of 5 detector / call point LED indicators will be turned on in a fire alarm condition. (This
number can be changed via the PC Programming Tool).
18
The calculated loop loading must be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 to calculate the actual current draw from the batteries. This is to take
into account voltage conversion and conversion efficiency in generating the supply for the loop.
19
Not available on Mx-4200V.
20
Refer to separate data sheets for the additional modules can be powered from the panel AUX Output to determine the AUX loading
currents. For example, the modules can include 8-Way Output, 8-way Input, Modem, Sounder Splitter, Shop Interface, etc. The sum of all
these additional currents should be entered in these fields.
21
The alarm load should be doubled to allow for changes in battery efficiency for loads in excess of the recommended C/20 discharge rate.
The total load calculated should be multiplied by a de-rating factor of 1.25 to allow for changes in battery efficiency over time. The above
calculation is in accordance with the recommendations in BS5839-1: 2002.
