Standby Power
The fire alarm control panel uses sealed lead-acid rechargeable batteries as a secondary power
source in the event of a main power failure. The required capacity of the standby batteries must be
calculated using the charts and tables within this manual for the period as required by national or
local codes and standards. Even though the calculation table within this manual includes a safety
margin, lead-acid batteries commonly used for standby can have variable capacity as a result of
age and ambient conditions. Periodic inspection for damage and the batteries' ability to support
the attached equipment is highly recommended.
