Total system power and wire length guidelines
The panel can supply up to 1 amp (1,000 mA) in full load alarm condition for system
devices connected to panel terminals 4 (+12V), 7 and 8 (speaker terminals), 9 (OUT1),
11 (+12V), 24 (2W SMK ZONE 8), and SnapCard terminals.
For 24-hour backup, the total standby current draw for all devices connected to
panel terminals 4 (+12V), 9 (OUT1), 11 (+12V), 24 (if configured for 2-wire smoke loop),
and SnapCard terminals is limited to 90 mA (during normal standby condition) using a
4.5 or 5.0 Ah battery, or 190 mA (during normal standby condition) using a 7.0 Ah
battery.
The total system wire length allowed can vary depending on devices powered by the
panel, the wire length between devices and the panel, and the combined wire length
of all devices.
Table 4 on page 8 describes the maximum wire length allowed between compatible
devices and the panel, and the minimum and maximum current draw of each device.
