4.3.12 Specify Backup Battery
In the event of a mains power supply disruption, the VEP-A10-P detector runs on a backup battery located in
the external power supply (the power supply must be compliant with local fire protection codes and
standards). The size of the battery is determined by:
l
local codes and standards
l
the total power required by the system
l
back up time required
l
allowance for reduction in capacity with age
l
expected temperature variations
Note:
It is recommended that batteries be inspected and changed as per manufacturer’s specifications or
as per local codes and standards.
To facilitate the calculation of the backup battery size, a Battery Calculation Sheet is included below.
