The table shows the input current taken by the various sounders. 
The current levels shown above are for the 440Hz Continuous tone @ nominal input voltage at P2 and P3 power setting. 
Nominal current at nominal voltage. 
Max rated current at worst case supply voltage. 

Table 1: Electrical Ratings. 

 
Ensure the system power supply is capable of providing the maximum current required for all sounders. Review associated cable size, 
length and quantity of sounders on each circuit.
