0.5
for thirty minutes of alarm as a multiplier figure.

Using the
MIR-525/U
2-wire smoke detector. See Appendix A, for other available smoke detectors .
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The main AC branch circuit connection for the Fire Alarm Control Unit must provide a dedicated
continuous power without provision of any disconnect devices. Use #12 AWG wire with 600-volt
insulation and proper over-current circuit protection that complies with the local codes.

Note:
Batteries BA-104 (4.0AH) and BA-1065(6.5AH) fit into the backboxes; all larger
batteries such as BA-110(10AH) and the BA-117(17AH) require an external
battery box.
