1.
NFPA 72-1999 Local, Proprietary, and Central Station systems requires 24 hours of standby power
followed by 5 minutes in alarm.
2.
NFPA 72-1999 Auxiliary and Remote Station Systems require 60 hours or standby power followed by
5 minutes in alarm.
3.
Batteries installed in a system powered by an automatic starting engine generator need to provide at
least 4 hours of standby power.
4.
Factory Mutual requires 90 hours of standby for deluge-preaction systems.
5.
Emergency voice/alarm communications systems require 2 hours of operation in the alarm condition.
Due to the sporadic nature of voice operation, however, NFPA 72-1999 permits 15 minutes of operation
at a maximum connected load to equal 2 hours of normal use.
6.
If the total exceeds 25 AH, the system requires a separate XLS-LBB battery enclosure for two
BAT-12550, 55 AH batteries in a separate XLS-LBB enclosure. If the total exceeds 55 AH, the system
requires an auxiliary battery charger with sufficient amp-hour capacity; this charger must be UL-listed for
Fire-Protective Signaling. If CHG-120 battery charger is used, it requires a second XLS-LBB enclosure.
7.
The following battery derating factors must be used for Canadian installations using XLS140 charger:
• For a 12 AH battery, use derating factor of 1.2
• For a 25 AH battery, use derating factor of 1.5
• For a 55 AH battery, use derating factor of 1.8
When batteries are charged by CHG-120 charger use a derating factor of 1.2 for 25 AH and 55 AH
batteries.
