A.1 Main Power Supply
The MS-2410BC provides filtered power for operating the fire alarm control panel, operating external devices and
operating the standby battery. The power for operating external devices is limited. Use Table A-2 (standby or non-
alarm) and Table A-3 (alarm) to determine if external loading is within the capabilities of the power supply.
Be certain to power 4-wire smoke detectors from TB2, Terminals 3 and 4. In Table A-2 , external devices are con-
nected to TB2 only.

3. The total standby current must include both the resettable (TB2 Terminals 3 & 4) and nonresettable (TB2
Terminals 1 & 2) power. Caution must be taken to ensure that current drawn from these outputs during
alarm does not exceed maximum ratings specified (see Table A-2 ).
