12.0 Appendix B: Power Supply & Battery
Calculations
Use the form below to determine the required Secondary Power Supply (batteries) for each QX-MINI/
QX-MINI-BP and its accessories.
*For multiple current (range) rated products, the highest current ratings are to be used.

Battery Calculations continued on next page...
Note: Secondary Power Supply (Battery) circuit is supervised, if software is configured
for batteries.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The main AC branch circuit connection for Fire Alarm Control Unit must provide a dedicated continuous power without provision of any
disconnect devices. Use #12 AWG wire with 600-volt insulation and proper over-current circuit protection that complies with the local
codes. Refer to section 11.0 Appendix A: Specifications And Features on page 124 for specifications.
