Appendix A: Specifications
System Power
When AC power is present, the system operates entirely from AC power (primary). During an AC power failure,
the entire system load is transferred to the standby batteries (secondary).
Standby and Alarm Current
Standby and Alarm Currents of the Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel with two loops are provided below. Two
loop operation includes System A Panel Module, System B Panel Module, and the Dual Loop Panel Module.
Two loop operation represents the minimum board configuration of the Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel. The
data excludes all external loads. Primary loads assume a fully charged battery.
