RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROGRAMMING OPTION: Refer to GEM-P816 Programming Instructions (WI995) for program-
ming information. This option changes the operation of the power supply in alarm conditions to optimize performance. In
installations that do not monitor fire conditions (Residential and Commercial Burglary) U. L. allows the battery to be
depleted in alarm conditions when AC is present. To prevent the regulator and rectifier from exceeding 75% of their rated
temperature the regulator drops to 10V causing the battery to support the entire alarm current.In installations that do
monitor fire conditions (Residential Fire) U.L. does not allow the battery to be depleted in alarm conditions when AC is
present. Therefore when this bit is set the regulator is not dropped to 10V during alarm conditions. When this bit is set the
current specifications for Residential Fire should not be exceeded. If the specifications are exceeded when a 40VA or
50VA transformer is used the regulator may exceed 75% of its rated temperature up to 85% of its rated temperature at
which point the regulator will protect itself by current limiting. This would cause the battery to deplete, but no damage
would occur to the panel. If a 20VA transformer is used and the Residential Fire current specifications are exceeded then
the Transformer VA rating may be exceeded thereby damaging the transformer.
