California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) Requirements

24-hour backup: The California State Fire Marshal has published new regulations that
require all residential fire alarm control panels installed after June 30, 1993 to be
provided with a backup battery. This backup battery must have sufficient capacity to
operate the panel and its attached peripheral devices for 24 hours in the intended standby
condition, followed by at least four minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling condition.
Be sure to size the battery to meet this requirement.
