What are the default battery calculations for the FireLink fire alarm control panel?
Use the Gemini C-Series (GEMC) Standby Calculation Worksheet located in our Technical Library website:
http://tech.napcosecurity.com/index.php/techlibrary/docdetails/brand_id/1/doc_id/2582
Select tab 3 GEMC Fire Only.
The "Out of the Box" factory default values are:
- One (1) GEMC-F8ZCPIM Conventional 8 Fire Zone Expander Plug in Module
- One (1) GEMC-FK1 Fire Keypad
- 71ma draw for Standby and Alarm in the Mother Board AUX PWR, with a QTY of 1 for the integrated StarLink radio.
The Total Required Standby Battery Capacity for the "Out of the Box" draw is 8.3AH.
Note: Two sets of series 8AH or 7AH batteries are required for every FireLink installation. Other powered devices must be added to the Calculation Worksheet, i.e. smoke detectors, horn/strobes, bells, remote annunciators, etc.
