Hi guys i am confused regarding the battery calculation of fire alarm detection system.
Fire alarm panel battery calculations.
C min i1 x t1 i2 x 1 25 definitions and example of the above i1 standby current from the fire alarm panel 0 05 amps t1 standby time assume category l1 24 hours i2 full alarm current from panel 0 3 amps.
Please note that is calculator is for fire alarm systems and can be used with fire panels en54 power supply units and all other ancillary fire alarm equipment with 2 x 12v standby batteries wired in series.
Few ul listed panel manufacturers provide a sample calculation in which in alarm condition they recommend to consider only 5 or 20 of the detector to count.
Fs tools can only be used on the es.
Fs tools expands on the previous ps tools platform and is required for programming the es 50x and es 200x panels.
The standards state that in the event of a mains supply failure the backup batteries should be able to run the system for a minimum of 24hrs followed by 30minuites in full alarm condition all sounders running.

Current draw must not exceed 1a aux output 2 non battery backed up.
Standby battery calculation the following formula can be used to calculate the appropriate standby battery size.
If the second approach is used the quantities of initiating devices and notification appliances is important only for determining the number of modules and circuits that will be provided to accommodate them.
This calculator assumes an alarm period of 30 minutes as stated in bs5839 1.
To calculate the battery size using the minimum code approach the quiescent and alarm loads must be tabulated and summed for all equipment devices and appliances connected to the power supply.
Addressable panels battery calculators.
Fs tools has been updated to include newly released products and makes it easier than ever before to program new features.
Current draw must not exceed 1a and does not affect battery capacity total system load.
Take the total standby current and multiply by 24 hours for standby take the total alarm current and multiply by 083 for 5 minutes or 249 for 15 minutes of alarm add the total of standby current x 24 to alarm current x 083 or 249 multiply the total of above by a safety factor of 1 2.
