Appendix A - Calculations
Battery calculation worksheet
Use this worksheet to determine the minimum amperage capacity
required for the panel's standby power source. You can obtain
operating current requirements for amplifier units from their re-
spective installation sheets. For 5532M series amplifiers, the audio
signal draw for each audio amplifier is approximately 2 mA at
470 Hz.
NOTE:
Base panel includes the main controller board with no
system audio output loading and only EOL resistors.
Standby current: Master and Satellite - 230 mA
Alarm current: Master and Satellite - 215 mA
NOTE:
Alarm current with no amplifier loading is less because EOL
resistor path is opened during alarm condition and closed
during supervision.

[1] See Appendix C for the maximum number of amplifiers supported by the panel.
[2] RPU power supplied by panel cannot exceed 0.55A (paging current). If more than 0.55A is required, you must reduce number of RPU
devices supplied by the panel.
