  • Page 94: Calculations

    This section describes current-loading and the process for determining the standby-battery rating and the NAC wiring length. Current loading calculations do not include the combined detector currents of the HCVX Fire Control Panel. These combined currents are negligible in comparison to currents of the fire control panel, ancillary devices and NACs and are therefore excluded from the current loading calculation.

  • Page 95: Current-Load

    Current-Load The current-load of the HCVX Fire Control Panel is limited to 4.5 Amps of the power supply and 7 AH or 12 AH of the standby-batteries. Each NAC output of the HCVX Fire Control Panel is load dependent and limited to a maximum load-current of 2.5A.

  • Page 96: Nac Wiring Length

    The calculation of total-current-loading during an alarm condition includes the sum of device-loads on each power output circuit of the HCVX Fire Control Panel. Power circuits of the fire control panel are provided on the terminals of NAC 1, NAC 2 and AUX 24V.

    Operating Instructions Inspecting Batteries Inspect the standby-batteries annually to determine the connection integrity to The HCVX Fire Control Panel. The fire control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of mains failure. The standby-batteries have a life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. Test the standby-batteries annually in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations to determine their suitability for...
