SK-5208: Maximum Battery Standby Load

Table 3-3 shows the maximum battery standby load for the SK-5208 based on 24 and 60 hours of standby. The standby load calculations of line D in the Current Draw Calculation Worksheet (Table 3-2) must be less than the number shown in Table 3-3 for the battery size used and standby hours required.

Batteries larger then 18 AH will not fit into the SK-5208 cabinet and must be housed in the RBB remote battery box cabinet. See Section 3.8 for battery installation.

Silent Knight does not support the use of batteries smaller than those listed in Table 3-3. If you use a battery too small for the installation, the system could overload the battery resulting in the installation having less than the required 24 hours standby power.
