Page 14: Advantage Li Control Panel Operation
Advantage Control Panel Operation 4.1 Advantage Field Wiring and Control Panel Functions Power Input Circuits Power to the control panel is provided by two separate battery packs designated as primary and secondary power. Both power sources are supervised for presence and voltage.
Page 15: Actuation Circuits Operation
Actuation Circuits Operation Two actuation circuits are each capable of actuating up to six Stat-X aerosol generators or similar devices on two separate zones. Power to fire the actuators is delivered from a bank of super capacitors. Upon Fire detection, the control panel provides a signal to fire from the fully charged supercapacitor bank.

Page 17: Internal Clock
Internal Clock A real-time clock is present and should be set when the system is commissioned. The clock is backed up by a supercapacitor, which may lose voltage if the control panel remains unpowered for extended periods beyond a few days. The internal clock may be set via PC connection to the circular front panel programming port.
