STANDBY BATTERY CALCULATION
Battery capacity
should be between 2 x 2.4 Ah 12V DC and 2 x 7 Ah 12V DC.
The battery Ah required for a given installation is calculated from the following formula:
(
Quiescent current in
mA of the panel with
everything
connected
X
Standby time
required in
hours
divided by
1000
)
+
(
Alarm
current in
Amps
(sounder
load)
X
Alarm
time in
hours
)
+ 20%
Round the result to the next available battery size. Quiescent current of the panel with everything is found by adding the
standby current of all connected devices to the standby current of the panel (38 mA). Consult the manual for the individual
devices to confirm the standby current.
Repeater Interface Connection
The interface board used to establish communication between the ORION-EX and its associated repeater(s) should be
linked to the connector labelled
DATA
, which is situated on the underside of the panel’s main board. The interface should be
fixed to the base of the back box as shown before. The panel’s main board and interface are connected using the 5-way flat
cable provided. The cable is fitted with 2 polarized connectors of the Molex type.
For details about connection, please refer to repeater installation manual.
Modules Interface Connection
The ORION-EX and its associated modules should be linked to the connector labelled
MPX
, which is situated on the
underside of the panel’s PCB board. The module should be fixed to the base of the back box as shown before. The panel’s
main board and module are connected using direct 5-way flat cable provided. The cable is fitted with 2 polarized connectors
of the Molex type.
The following modules can be connected:
●
GFE-MPX-REL V2
for Relay activation extension
●
GFE-MPX-SNDR V2
for Sounder activations (Z1, Z2, Z3F, Z3X, etc)
●
ADLI V2
if a connection to a GFE Addressable panel is needed (DATA connector)
GFE-MPX-SNDR V2 and GFE-MPX-REL V2 outputs will activate upon the ORION-EX panel actions shown in the table
below.
