Mains & Battery
Connecting the mains.
The Mains supply to the FACP is fixed wiring, using
Fire resisting
3-core cable
(Between 1 mm² and 2.5mm²) or a suitable 3-conductor system, fed from an
isolating double pole switch fused spur, fused at 3A.
IT SHOULD NOT BE
CONNECTED THROUGH AN RCD.
This should be secure from unauthorised
operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’. The supply must
be exclusive to the Fire Panel.
MAKE SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES ARE
COVERED WITH THE GROMMETS PROVIDED
Connecting the batteries
The Premier Elite requires 2 x 12 V sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries
The two batteries are wired in
series
.
The
+ve
of one battery is connected to the
red
battery lead.
The
–ve
of the other battery is connected to the
black
battery lead.
The –ve of the first battery is connected to the +ve of the second battery using the
link wire supplied.
Although there are many sizes of suitable battery, the sizes we usually recommend
are 12V 2Ah for standard backup, or 12V 7Ah for extended backup (72 hour or
more) , and the enclosure has been designed to hold these two battery sizes.

Charger Short Circuit Protection
The Premier Elite has an intelligent charger, that senses if too much current is being
drawn (for instance in the case of totally discharged batteries, or the charger leads
being shorted together). In such an event, the Premier Elite 4-8 zone panel will turn
off the power to its charger circuit.
The panel also turns off the charger when the batteries are disconnected.
