FAQ
What do I need to send?
The panel model, a device list with counts, notification appliance candela and current ratings, and the number of NAC circuits. A floor plan or riser helps for voltage drop.
What durations do you use?
Standard NFPA 72 criteria: 24 hours of standby plus 5 minutes of alarm, or 15 minutes of alarm for emergency voice systems. Tell me if your reviewer requires a different safety factor.
My battery calculation was rejected. Can you fix it?
Yes. Send the reviewer’s comment and your original calculation, and I will correct it and resize the batteries or power supplies.
Will my reviewer accept it?
The calculations follow NFPA 72 and the manufacturer’s listed current draws. Share your adopted code edition and any local requirements and I will include them.
