2.2.3 Connecting batteries
The FP400 panels require 2 x12 V batteries of 2.6 Ah for the FP402 and FP404, and 2 x
12 V 7 Ah for FP408, FP412 and FP416 respectively. These are connected in series in
order to obtain 24 VDC. A bridge connector for batteries is supplied in the box together
with the fire panel. Connect the positive contact (+) of one of the batteries to the negative
contact (-) of the other.
1. Place the batteries in the space reserved for them at the bottom of the fire panel box.
2. Connect the cables taking into account the colour correspondence (red positive, black
negative). Connect the battery bridge cable between the two batteries and the two
cables that come out of the fire panel to each of the batteries.
