D.3. Standby Batteries Installation
Caution: Battery lead connections are not power limited.
D.3.a. Standby Battery Selection
The D9024 and D10024 panels supervise and charge the two 12
V
sealed lead-acid batteries
that are the standby power source. Several batteries are available from Radionics, and battery
selection will depend on system design. Use the Current Rating Chart to select the correct
batteries.

** The panel latches on to the first five devices in alarm and continues polling the balance of the devices. Five times 5 mA alarm
current equals 25 mA. These five devices normally draw a minimum . 280 mA each. 25 mA minus 1.40 mA (5 x .280) equals
23.6 mA added to the alarm total
.
Table 5: Current Rating Chart for Standby Battery Calculations
Use battery ampere hour (Ah) calculations to verify compliance with standby requirements. Central
Station or Local systems require 24 hours of standby plus five minutes of alarm operation at the end
of that period. Local Systems require two batteries.
The following formula converts mA to Amperes, and includes factors for the five minute alarm
period and the depletion of battery capacity with age.
Local Systems Ampere Hour Calculation Formula
Total B x 24 (hours) + Total C x .083 (hours) = Total Ah
