I am looking into an installation of an Elk M1 Gold for Security and Fire alarm on a bigger Warehouse building. The building requires a total of 27 smokes, which need to sound of at the same time if one device goes off and need to sound for 5 min after system is on battery back-up for 24 hours and need to be monitored by a central station.
I like to use the SystemSensor i3 - 4WTA-B - Smoke Sensor, 4-Wire Photoelectric, Thermal & Sounder coupled with the EOL relay and the RRS-MOD to reverse power when it goes into alarm and kick all of them on. The 4WTA-B has a listed draw of 35 mA and the EOL and RRS list 20 mA which brings us to a total load of 985 mA. The Elk states that it can only provide 500mA in a UL listed installation. Do I need to use a different panel or is there a way to increase the needed amp on the main board?
