Rated Output
In accordance with EN50131-6:2008, the
Security Grade of the system and how 230V mains missing fault is signalled to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Power supplies are rated in accordance with the requirements of EN50131-6, which are related to the maximum
battery size that can be accommodated in the housing and vary according to the grade of the system in which
they are installed, as per the following table:

3.2 Important Installation Notes

 Ensure wiring is done to the national wiring regulations in the country where the installation is
taking place. In the UK, this is BS 7671 Requirements for electrical installations; IET Wiring
Regulations (17th edition). If in doubt, consult a local qualified electrician.
 Ensure that a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the premises installation wiring
shall be provided external to the equipment with a contact separation of at least 3,0mm and
connected as closely as possible to the supply. Example: Fused Spur Unit
 When fixing external wires, ensure that means are provided in the installation to prevent the SELV
(Safety Electrical Low Voltage) or signal circuits from coming into contact with live parts of the
power supply circuit. Wires shall be fixed near their terminal blocks.
 The end of stranded conductor shall not be consolidated by soft soldering at places where the
conductor is subjected to contact pressure. Example: Must not solder ends of wires which are to be
secured in detector and control panel terminal connectors.
 On completion of wiring use tie-wraps to prevent any loose wires causing a safety hazard (material
of cables tie shall be rated at least HB or better).
 Cables ties and hoses shall be separate for power supply cable and SELV (Safety Electrical Low
Voltage) wirings.
 Size of protective bonding conductors: minimum section 1.5mm². Example: Electrical Earth wire
connections.
