Current Requirements (Standby and Alarm)

4.3.1

Current Drawn From Host Panel

Table 4-1 shows the GFPS-9 current draw requirements from the main control panel when the panel's
notification appliance circuit is in alarm. The current draw from the main panel when it is supervising the
GFPS-9 is the same current draw that would be present when the main panel supervises an ordinary notification
appliance circuit.

from main panel's notification appliance
circuits.
4.3.2

Current Drawn from Battery

Batteries used with the GFPS-9 must not exceed 35AH. (33AH max. for FM (Factory Mutual) Installations).
Batteries larger than 7 AH will not fit into the GFPS-9 cabinet and must be housed in the BC-1 Battery Cabinet.
