Installation Guidelines for UL Systems Failure to install and program the DCT-1/1E according to the requirements in this section voids the listing mark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Test in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7-1.6.2 (1999) following any modifcations, repair, upgrades or adjustments made to the system.
Table 1: DCT-1/1E Power Specifications Some FACPs may momentarily drop DC power that the DCT-1/1E is connected to at the start of an AC power failure. If the FACP used with the DCT-1/1E exhibits this behavior, any immediate AC Fail report can be used as impetus for reprogramming the DCT-1/1Es date/time.
