APPENDIX C: CALCULATIONS Current loading of the Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel is limited to the capacity of the power supplies. Installers must determine the loading placed on these power supplies by adding the sum of device loads to the no load alarm current of the Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel.
Appendix C: Calculations SLC Loop Cabling The Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel requires that SLC Loops include wire gauge and lengths specified in tables of this section. The maximum allowable voltage drop of 6.4 V is necessary on the SLC loop to maintain the minimum device operating voltage of 17 V.
Dark shading represents cable lengths that are not permitted without the connection of isolators in the SLC circuit. Twin cables are connected to SLC loop terminals of the Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel. Data provided in SLC tables of this section represent resistance and voltage from a single cable-conductor. Resistance and voltage levels obtained from these tables must include the secondary conductor of the twin cable during the evaluation process.
