1.3.1 System Features

The Lux Intelligent system provides real-time monitoring and automatic testing of emergency lighting. It is designed to satisfy the requirements of BS5266 part 1 and prEN50172 standards for emergency lighting systems.

Each Lux Intelligent control panel supports maintained, non-maintained and slave luminaires in either self-contained central battery or static inverter systems.

The control panel electronics are housed in a high quality steel enclosure with sealed front label protecting the control keys, LED Indicators and liquid crystal display. The graphic display is backlit to improve visibility in poor ambient light conditions.

The system is modular in construction. For small systems, a single line driver is used to connect up to 249 Pulse Line Unit (PLU) addressable luminaires or I/O modules over a 2-core cable. Each line driver takes the form of a small, plug-in circuit card and each panel can control up to 4 line drivers. Further expansion is easily achieved by networking up to 200 Lux Intelligent panels.

The installation may be divided up into a maximum of 200 Zones (1000 Zones when networked) to correspond with the building fire zones, with each luminaire capable of being identified by its zone description and individual location description. In addition, the installation may be divided up into 50 Test Groups, per panel, for automatic or manual testing, thereby permitting the testing of alternate luminaires within a zone.

A User-friendly, menu driven software is used to assist in commissioning systems and for general operation of the panel. Once luminaires are connected to the panel, a simple ‘Learn’ procedure is run to quickly identify the quantity and types connected on each line.

Automatic testing can be carried out at any time of day or night. Flexible programming allows the time, date and duration of test for multiple groups of lights to be quickly specified, with up to 400 unique time / date / periods per year. The panels can be fully on site programmed using the front panel alphanumeric keypad. Alternatively, the panel programming may be configured from a PC via the isolated RS232 serial port.

Alternatively, the data can be transferred to a database on a central PC for subsequent analysis, listing and printing.

Remote monitoring is also possible via an internal modem option or using a serial to Ethernet converter. Software running on a remote PC can be set to periodically dial into each panel and check for any faults. Again proof of all tests carried out on each luminaire, showing the time, date and duration of each test can be automatically printed from the PC.

An internal (or external) printer can be fitted to print the test results, etc. where the PC logging system is not required.

1.3.2 Luminaire Control / Monitor Modules

2.3 Wiring Installation

All electrical wiring installation work should be carried out in accordance with the code of practice or applicable national standards appropriate to the country of installation.

To maintain electrical integrity of the SELV wiring on the input, output, loop and communications lines all SELV wiring should be segregated from the LV mains wiring and be wired using cable with insulation suitable for the application.

To minimise the effects of EMC interference all data wiring circuits should be wired with a twisted pair of conductors with a cross sectional area suitable for the loading conditions.

In areas where cabling may come into contact with high frequency interference, such as portable radio transceivers etc. the data wiring cable should be of a twisted pair construction within an overall screen. Care should be taken to correctly terminate this screen, refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for further information for each circuit type.

NB: Minimum / Maximum cable size for all external connections is limited to 0.5mm² / 2.5mm² (22-14AWG).

2.3.1 AC Mains Wiring

Route the high voltage mains AC wiring into the enclosure at the upper left corner only. Keep the AC wiring away from the circuit boards and all other wiring.

Connect the Control Panel to the mains supply

via a readily accessible disconnect-device

(Isolation Switch) and suitable earth fault

protection incorporated in the building

installation wiring. The Mains cable should be

0.75mm2 cable rated at 250V and fused via a

5A anti-surge fuse.

2.3.3 Signalling Line Installation

2.3.3.1 General Considerations The Line Driver Module, shown opposite, provides power and signalling pulses for the digital communications with the luminaires.

Up to four Line Drivers can be installed in the panel. Refer to Section 2.2.6 for details of how to install additional line drivers.

Route the signalling circuit away from other electrical cables to minimise the effect of electrical interference. It is recommended that a 2-Core Twisted-Pair cable be used. In extremely noisy conditions, the use of a cable with external screen is recommended.

Refer to Appendix 2 – Recommended Cables for further information on cable types to be used.

When screened cable is used, it is vital to connect the screen / drain wire to the chassis / earth at the cable gland input / earth stud in the panel. Always ensure that all segments of the cable loop have continuity of the screen and take care to ensure that the screen is not exposed to any other earth point (e.g. metalwork, cable trays, junction boxes, etc.).

The outputs of the Line Driver Module are short circuit protected. The wiring can be connected in Radial Format or as a Loop Circuit (Preferred Method).

For ease of maintenance and connection, the wiring is terminated in a plug and socket arrangement, shown opposite.

The signalling circuit consists of a pair of wires (+ and –). Four terminals are provided to enable loop operation.

2.3.3.2 Radial Wiring Format

To wire the signalling circuit as a Radial Line, connect one wire of the 2-Core cable to one of the (+) terminals and connect the other wire to one of the (–) terminals.

Route the cable to each of the luminaires in turn.

Connect Jumper Wires between OUT+ / IN+ and OUT– / IN–.

Total Cable length (from Line Driver to last Luminaire in wiring run) should not exceed 1500 metres.

The cable length depends on the line loading, cable core diameter – Refer to Appendix 2 – Recommended Cables for a list of recommended cables and distances.

If a screened cable is used in a radial circuit, the screen at the end of the cable run should also be connected to earth. If there is a voltage potential difference between the

panel earth and the remote earth point, connect the screen to the earth point via a 2.2F polyester (non-polarised) capacitor of suitable voltage rating.

2.3.3.3 Loop Wiring Format PREFERRED METHOD – A fault condition will be indicated if an open circuit condition wiring occurs but the panel will still communicate with all luminaires.

To wire the signalling circuit as a Loop circuit, connect one wire of the 2-Core cable to one of the (+) terminals and connect the other wire to one of the (–) terminals.

Route the cable to each of the luminaires in turn.

Return the wiring to the Line Driver and connect the two wires to the remaining (+) and (–) terminals. See diagram opposite.

Connect the wiring to the terminal blocks in the Luminaire.

Total loop length (from Line Driver OUT to Line Driver IN) should not exceed 1500 metres.

Whilst the address field is highlighted, press the buttons to scroll through the device list.

Press the button to select the Serial No field. Whilst parameters are highlighted, press the buttons to select, in turn, the Serial No, Type, Light, and Battery fields.

This menu option enables the assignment of a serial number to a soft address. This is useful for changes to the assignment of a few devices – refer to the "Search PLU" function for initial search and assignment of PLU devices. It also enables the programming of the luminaire type, number of cells and light threshold level at the selected address. The PLU remembers the values programmed by storing these in e2prom memory – note, it may take a few seconds to complete this process. The values are automatically updated in the panel when a ‘Learn’ is performed.

The setting options should not normally require modification, as they will have been predetermined when the PLU was installed in the fitting.

The column on the right hand side gives readings for these relevant parameters within the device and shows the operational status of the luminaire. For example:

The analogue value of the light level is shown (Light = 3 and the light is off).

The measured battery voltage is shown (2.6V). If the battery level is below what is expected for the

number of cells, then the display also indicates the condition with the word “Low” as a warning.

The AC Mains Supply State is shown (OFF).

The Switch input is shown as off (L) or active (H)


4.3.1.1.1 State

This parameter shows the current operational status of the device. For example, this can show Normal, Reset,

Not In Use, Device Missing, etc.

This parameter cannot be changed.

4.3.1.1.2 Test Group

The luminaire should be allocated to a test group for both automatic and manual testing. Up to 50 test groups

can be used.

Within a zone or escape route, allocate alternate luminaires to different test groups. This will ensure that only a

selection of the luminaires will be tested at any one time.

Use the number keys to assign / change the test group for the device. By default, odd numbered addresses are

assigned to Group 1 and even numbered addresses are assigned to Group 2.

The I/O Module is not assigned to a Test Group by default (Test Group = 0).

Central battery systems typically use a single output relay to bring on the emergency power to a number of light

fittings. The Output must be assigned to the same “Test Group” as the group of luminaires that this output

controls. The panel will then turn this output on when any of the light fittings in the same Test Group are to be

tested.

The Switch Input of the I/O Module can be programmed to a number of actions. If the action is defined as

“Group test Input” then assign the Test Group to the same “Test Group” as the group of luminaires that this

input controls. All other input actions do not use the Test Group Function and the value should be left at 0.

4.3.1.1.3 Zone

This parameter shows the Zone to which this device has been assigned. Use the number keys to change the

zone assigned to the device. It is recommended that this be set to the same zone number as per the fire

compartment zones for common reference.

4.3.1.1.4 Description (Device Text)

This parameter shows the 26-character location text assigned to this device. For guidance on how to change

the text, refer to Section 4.1.3.

4.3.1.1.5 Serial Number

Each PLU is programmed with a unique serial number during manufacture. The panel does not use this number

for communicating with the device. Instead, it uses a soft address in the range 001-249. The panel, however,

keeps a record of the serial number of the device assigned to each soft address in its memory (as configured

using the Search PLU function). Normally, the serial number actually read from the device will match the serial

number in the panel's memory. In this case, the panel will indicate OK in the Readings column.

In the unusual event that the serial numbers do not match, the panel will indicate both serial numbers on the

display. This may be because, for example, the luminaire has been changed.

Use the number keys to enter the required PLU Serial Number for use at this soft address.

4.3.1.1.6 Type

The type field shows the device installed at the address location.

For luminaires equipped with the Lxp-302 or Lxp-304 modules, the type of fitting can be changed. Press the ✔

button to toggle between MAINTAINED and NON-MAINT.

For the Lxp-302, the display also indicates a “reading” of whether the AC Mains Supply to the luminaire is on or

off.

www.advancedco.com

43

For the Lxp-110 I/O Module, there are two sub addresses for each device, one for the output (type = RELAY)

and one for the input (type = SWITCH).

4.3.1.1.7 Light

The minimum light level is the analogue value of the light intensity measured by the PLU below which a lamp

failure indication will be indicated. To enter an alternative level, key in the number required using the number

keys. When all digits have been entered, press the ✔ button. The panel will communicate with the PLU control

module to change its stored operational parameter.

The default value assigned to the light level threshold is 20.

The actual Light Threshold level to be used will depend greatly on the type and performance of the particular

luminaire and on ambient lighting conditions. Check the operation of the luminaire using the test function

(described below) and adjust the light level threshold to a value that will ensure:

1 The panel will not indicate erroneous lamp failures

2 The panel will report true lamp failures

Take into account the effects of ageing on the tube. This typically means that the threshold should be set to

<50% of the normal light level measured for a new tube.

The following table gives typical values for a range of tube types.

Tube Types Typical Light Level (New Tube) Typical Threshold

T8 / T5 30+ 10

8W / 2D / PL 80+ 204

Twin Spots 10+ 5

The "Reading" indicates the current light level measured by the PLU. The display also indicates if the light is on

or off.

The light output of the Lxp-111 is designed to be compatible with the default threshold (20) and no adjustment

should be necessary.

4.3.1.1.8 Battery

The type of battery and the number of cells can be changed.

To change the number of cells, highlight the cells field and use the number keys to directly enter the number of cells in the luminaire.

To change the type of battery, highlight the type field and press the ✔ button to toggle between NiCad, NiMH

and Lead acid battery types.

The "Readings" figure shows the actual battery voltage measured by the PLU. An indication is also shown if this is "Low" or "High". The panel automatically adjusts its limits depending on the battery type selected to account for the normal battery voltage per cell for each battery type.

4 This is the Default Threshold Level factory programmed into the PLU. The PLU should not need this value changing for these tube

types.


4.3.1.1.9 I/O Module Input Action

The operation of the input can be assigned to the following actions:

Action Description

Group Test I/P The panel will invoke a test on the test group assigned to this switch

when the switch input is active.

Warning The Panel display shows “Warning” when the input is activated.

Alarm-1 The Panel display shows “Alarm” when the input is activated.

Key-lock The panel keys / menu functions are disabled when the switch input is

active.

Record The Panel records the time/date, when the switch is activated, in the

event log but the normal display state is unchanged.

- The Input is not used.

The input actions are non-latching so that any indication on the panel display or group test will be removed and the warning, alarm or test conditions will be automatically cancelled when the input returns to the normal state.

The panel buttons and menu functions are enabled when the switch is inactive and are disabled when the switch is active.

4.3.1.1.10 Testing Luminaires

The luminaire can be immediately tested from this display.

4.3.1.2 Loops - Auto Learn

4.3.1.2.1 Normal Procedure / Initial learn

The panel can automatically learn the presence or absence of devices at all addresses (where soft addresses have been assigned) connected to the loop. When the Auto Learn option is selected, the panel starts searching each address on the loop to locate and find all of the devices connected. A display is shown to indicate the progress of this procedure.

For example:

[Auto Learn Loop 1]

Address 15 Devices found = 3

The Auto Learn function will only find PLU modules that have been programmed with a soft address. Ensure that each module is assigned a soft address before performing the auto-learn function.

When all addresses have been searched, the panel displays a summary screen showing the quantity of devices found for each type of device.

For example:

[Auto Learn Loop 1]

Address 249 Devices found = 5

MAINTAINED NON-MAINT. I/O OTHERS

1 3 1 0

This summary provides a quick check to ensure that the panel has found all of the devices that should be connected to the loop.

Press the ‘Esc’ button to return to the main Loops Menu.

Note: The Lxp-111 will not be found, as it is not an addressable device.

4.3.1.2.2 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Missing

When the panel cannot communicate with a device previously programmed into the panel, the Auto Learn process is suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:

KEEP THIS DEVICE .

DELETE THIS DEVICE

KEEP ALL MISSING

DELETE ALL MISSING

! Address 002 DEVICE MISSING

If the missing device is kept (or all missing devices are kept), the panel remembers the programming for these devices. The panel will report a fault condition until such time as the missing devices are reconnected.

If the missing device is deleted (or all missing devices are deleted), the panel clears all previous programming for these devices. This includes any sensitivity threshold changes, text assignments, zone assignment, action, etc.

Press the buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the ✔ button to confirm. The pop-up

window will disappear and the panel will continue with the auto learn process.

If a single device is deleted and another missing device is subsequently registered, the display will once again show the pop-up window to keep or delete this device.


4.3.1.2.3 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Added

When the panel finds a device not previously learnt and programmed in the panel, the Auto Learn process is suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:

ACCEPT NEW DEVICE .

REJECT NEW DEVICE

ACCEPT ALL NEW DEVICES

REJECT ALL NEW DEVICES

! Address 002 NEW DEVICE

If the new device is accepted (or all new devices are accepted), the panel will configure the memory to register these devices. All data will be configured to initial settings for sensitivity threshold changes, text assignments, zone assignment, action, etc. for these devices.

If the new device is rejected (or all new devices are rejected), the panel clears all programming for these devices and will not attempt to communicate with the devices at these addresses.



If a single device is accepted / rejected and another new device is subsequently registered, the display will once again show the pop-up window to accept or reject this device.

4.3.1.2.4 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Changed

When the panel finds a new type of device installed at an address previously learnt and programmed in the panel, the Auto Learn process is suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:

ACCEPT NEW DEVICE .

KEEP OLD DEVICE

ACCEPT ALL NEW DEVICES

REJECT ALL NEW DEVICES

! Address 002 TYPE CHANGE

This situation could arise for example if an I/O type device has been installed in place of a luminaire.

If the new device type is accepted (or all new device types are accepted), the panel will configure the memory to register these devices. All data will be configured to initial settings for sensitivity threshold changes, text assignments, zone assignment, action, etc. for these devices.

If the new device type is rejected (or all new device types are rejected), the panel remembers the programming for the original devices. The panel will report a fault condition until such time as the correct device types are reconnected.



If a single device is accepted / rejected and another new device type is subsequently registered, the display will once again show the pop-up window to accept or reject this device.

4.3.1.3 Loops – Search PLU Each PLU is programmed with a unique serial number during manufacture. The panel does not use this number for communicating with the device. Instead, it uses a soft address in the range 001-249.

These functions allow the panel to assign soft addresses to each PLU and store the soft address in the PLU e2prommemory.

4.3.1.3.1 Search All PLU

This is the main procedure to follow when installing a new installation or adding a luminaire(s) to the installation.

The display first shows the address ranges as it searches for each PLU installed on the signalling line as follows:

[SEARCH PLUs] 0 Found

Searching 1000000 - 1000001

When all Luminaires / I/O Modules have been located, the display shows the number of devices found along with a list of the serial numbers (in ascending numerical order) and, if already configured, the soft address assigned.

[SEARCH PLUs] 89 Found

Serial No Address Entry

226492423 .0 0001

226492423 0 0002

226492423 23 0003

226492423 10 DOUBLE ADDRESS 0004

Press the buttons to scroll through the list and use the number buttons to configure the required soft

address to a PLU currently unassigned. Press the ✔ button to jump to the next PLU Serial number with an

unassigned soft address (address 000 or address 200). Press Esc to abort the search and list the serial numbers found at that point.

Note: It is not normally possible for two serial numbers to be assigned to the same soft address. If a serial number is changed to a soft address that is currently assigned to another luminaire, then the panel automatically sets the other luminaire to address 000. This serial number will now also require re-assignment.

In the above example, however, the panel has found two serial numbers with the same soft address. The most likely cause for this occurrence is that a new luminaire / I/O module has been added to this loop where the PLU had been previously assigned to a soft address elsewhere. Adjust the soft addresses accordingly as described above.

When adding a luminaire / I/O Module to a current installation, press the button to highlight the serial number field and use the number buttons to enter the serial number of the newly installed device. The display will automatically jump to the required entry.

After any changes have been made, the display prompts for an AUTO-LEARN to be performed. This is an essential procedure to update the panel's configuration memory with the changes.

4.3.1.3.2 Assign From Panel Configuration Memory

If a PC configuration file has been transmitted to and stored in the panel's memory, this function will automatically assign soft addresses in each PLU in accordance with the configuration file data.

The display shows the progress of this procedure with the following display.

WORKING... 001 > 226492433

Each soft address is shown in turn along with the serial number of the device. When all devices have been addressed, the display reverts to the main loops menu.

Perform an Auto-Learn following this procedure.


4.3.1.4 Loops – Driver This function displays loop output and input voltages and loop loading.

A diagnostic display with automatic scanning of the loop to find devices with minimum and maximum communication pulse heights is available. Press the button to select this view.

4.3.2 Zones

The Commission Zones option lists all the zones in use by the panel and allows the zone text description to be

changed.

[Commission Zones]

Zone Location

0001 BASEMENT WEST

0002 RECEPTION

0015 EAST WING

0018 TOWER BLOCK

To change the location text assigned to the Zone, press the ✔ button when the Zone Location Text is

highlighted. Refer to Section 4.1.3 for guidance on how to change text descriptions.

To select a different zone, use either the scroll up/down keys, or just type in the number of the required zone,

followed by the ✔ button. Note that only zones in use are displayed.

4.3.3 Exit

To exit the Commission Mode and return the panel to normal operation (ie level 2), select the “Exit” option. The display will prompt for confirmation of the level 3 password. For example:

[Commission Menu 1]


Next Menu

If the password is incorrect (this will be indicated) or if the password is not entered within 5-seconds, the display will revert to the Commission Level Menu and level-2 will not be entered.

After commissioning, the panel must always be returned to level 2 (or level 1) to give normal fire coverage.

4.3.4 Tests

The panel provides the programming capability to define up to 400 different tests to be automatically performed at specific dates. Select the TESTS option and the display will show: -

[LIGHT AUTO TESTS]

Test Group Date(dd/mm) Time Period

001

002

003

004

Press the buttons to scroll though and highlight the required test number.

Press the button to select and highlight the programmable fields for each test.

Devices with different battery duration should not be included in the same group. Quarterly tests should typically be undertaken for 1/3 of their quoted duration time. Annual tests should be undertaken for their full duration time.

Refer to the appropriate National Standards, applicable in the country of installation, for the required test durations and frequencies.

As a default, the panel is pre-configured to test both groups 1 and 2 on the 1st of every month for 10 minutes and annually on the 15th/16th June for 180 minutes (3 hour test). The panel, therefore, automatically provides a pre-configured testing regime that will suit a basic two-group system without the need for further programming.

4.3.4.1 Group Use the number keys to enter the group of devices that should be tested.

If this test was previously undefined (i.e. all blank) default values are then entered against the remaining fields (1st January, 12:00 noon and 5 minutes duration).

4.3.4.2 Date Use the number keys to enter the required test date in the format dd (day) / mm (month).

The panel contains an in-built real-time clock to automatically schedule the tests. It automatically accounts for leap years in its scheduling but will not permit entry of 29th February as an automatic test date. (Note: Tests can be manually undertaken on 29th February – refer to User Section of this manual).

4.3.4.3 Time Use the number keys to enter the required test time in the format hh (hours) : mm (minutes).

The clock uses the 24-hour format so 3:00 pm should be entered as 15:00 hours.

4.3.4.4 Period Use the number keys to enter the required test duration. The maximum duration permitted is 300 minutes (5 hours).

Refer to Section 5.1 for industry recommended test durations and frequencies.

Testing for 5 minutes will provide an adequate check on the performance of the luminaire for the monthly tests.


4.3.5 Time and Date

This function can be used to change the time and date in the panel and is the same as detailed in the User Operation Section. A confirmation password is not required when selecting from the Commissioning Level.

4.3.6 View Options

5 Service and Maintenance

5.1 Maintenance / Inspection Schedule

ICEL: 1008

The following is taken from an extract of ICEL 1008 Emergency Lighting Risk Assessment Guide 2001 (Appendix D & Section 11)

It is important that equipment is properly tested & maintained if it is to function correctly when required in an emergency.

All emergency lighting should be regularly checked and maintained by a competent person.

Note: The Lx-9400 lighting panel monitors the required Daily tests. It can also be configured to automatically perform the required monthly, six monthly and yearly tests.

The results of all testing and any necessary corrective action should be recorded in a log record held on site. This shall be available if required, for inspection by any authorised person.

To meet these reporting requirements, the Lx-9400 stores the results for the tests. They are then available for retrieval, storage and printing using the Light Logger PC Software (PCNET-008).

5.1.1 Daily Actions

The site operator / user should perform the following checks and actions:

• Visually check that all maintained lamps are operating

• Check that any system fault recorded is given urgent attention and record all corrective actions in a log book

5.1.2 Monthly Actions


• Check all luminaries and other emergency lighting equipment is in good condition, all lamps and light controllers are clean, undamaged & not blackened.

• Perform a brief test all emergency lighting equipment by simulating a failure of the normal lighting supply. This test should not exceed a quarter of the equipment rated duration. Check that all equipment functions correctly.

• Check that, upon restoring the mains supply, all supply healthy indicators are illuminated

5.1.3 Quarterly Actions


• Carry out the inspection & testing outlined in the monthly schedule, but conduct a test on the equipment for one third of its rated duration.

5.1.4 Annual Actions

• A full system test should be conducted by a competent service engineer including a full rated duration test of the system.

NOTE: The Lx-9400 Control Panel will fully check luminaires and record the test results to ensure that the each luminaire operates correctly, produces the necessary light output and all supplies are healthy. It cannot, however, check that the luminaire has not been physically obscured or obstructed, painted over or similarly affected – a walk of the building should be undertaken at intervals, determined by risk assessment, to ensure that each luminaire remains fit for purpose.


5.2 Replacement of Components

In general, all of the components parts used in the construction of the panel have been selected for long life and reliability.

However, certain components may require to be changed on a regular service basis. The details of these are as follows:

5.2.1 Batteries

For battery installation, see section 2.3.2

Respect the Environment.

Batteries must be disposed of responsibly and in accordance with any local regulations.

5.2.1.1 Standby Batteries Expected Life: - 3-5 years at an ambient temperature of 20°C

6.2 Appendix 2 – Recommended Cables

Signalling Circuits

All cables are Belden twisted pair (or equivalent).

8762, 8760 & 8719 types are screened, twisted pair and are recommended where a high level of high frequency electrical noise is prevalent in the installation.

8205, 8461 & 8471 types are unscreened, twisted pair and are suitable for use in environments where there is no risk of contamination by high frequency asymmetrical electrical noise.

Where the installation requires cables with low smoke and fume emissions use Belden LSF cables, types 8762NH, 8760NH, 8719NH, 8205NH, 8461NH & 8471NH.

The table below quotes the recommended maximum runs for specific load conditions. All distances are quoted in metres. Maximum circuit length is 1500m unless stated.

Cable Cable Size Voltage Rating

This chart is applicable to each chassis in the 9800 panel.

6 Refer to separate data sheets for the additional modules that can be installed in the panel to determine the AUX and other panel loading

currents. The sum of all these additional currents should be entered in these fields. 7 Refer to separate data sheets supplied with the Pulse modules and interfaces for their operating current. 8 The calculated loop loading must be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 to calculate the actual current draw from the batteries. This is to take

into account voltage conversion and conversion efficiency in generating the supply for the loop. 9 The total load calculated should be multiplied by a de-rating factor of 1.25 to allow for changes in battery efficiency over time.
