5. CONNECTING MAINS & BATTERY POWER
5.1 CONNECTING THE MAINS POWER
Figure 3: Power Supply PCB layout and
Mains connection details.
The panel should be connected to 230V AC by a 5A rated spur to the fuse box with
1mm2 to 2.5mm2 3-core cable. Nothing else should be connected to this supply.
This cable should be fire resistant.
The Live (L), Earth (G) and Neutral (N) connections are marked on the Mains Filter
Module. The Mains is protected by a quick blow 20mm 3.15A HBC fuse. (Also
known as HRC)
The incoming mains cable should be fed through the supplied ferrite sleeve, and
kept separate from the zone cables to help minimise mains interference.
MAKE SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES ARE COVERED WITH THE RUBBER
GROMMETS
PROVIDED
It is advisable to apply power to the panel before connecting any devices, to check
for correct operation, and to familiarise yourself with the fire alarm panels
controls.
5.2 CONNECTING THE BATTERIES
Figure 4: Battery location and connection details.
Although there are many sizes of suitable battery, the sizes we usually
recommend are 12V 7Ah, 12V 12Ah, or 12V 17Ah. The enclosure has been
designed to hold this size battery.
To calculate the exact requirement, use the equation in section 11, but as a
rough guide:-
Panel = 4.6Ah
50 Detectors = 0.1 Ah
5 Bells = 0.1Ah
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
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 fused link wire supplied.
Recommended Battery Types:
Small / Lightly loaded systems – Powersonic 12V, 7 Ah; Heavily loaded systems, or systems requiring longer stand by – Powersonic
12V 17 Ah. Other makes and sizes of battery may be suitable.
