DSC 5020? 5200 power supply needed?



Hello,

	A couple of things jump out of the PC5020 installation manual at me.
Can come of you with more experienced school a young guy?

For the Fire Bell/Siren output it says "700 mA Maximum", but then in the
text it says "current limit 3Amps". Can someone explain this one for me?
Can you load it with more then 700mA output?  Right now I am looking at
about 1.2A (or 700mA on low-current for Elk-150RT), + 210mA for ELK-SL
strobe, and 480mA for Elk-71 interior siren. So, total is 1.89A for
siren output or 1.39 in a low-current setting.

For the AUX it says 550mA with a note saying cannot exceed 420mA for
24hr standby. This is then shared between any PGM outputs and any
devices connected to AUX. So, with the 5500Z KP, 3 GBs, 3 motions I am
at about 490mA. Which is lower then the 550mA, but higher then the 24
hour standby limit of 420. I think this means that it will not give me
24hrs of standby without power with those items connected.

Anyone think that the PC5200 power supply module would be required on
this job?

Thanks,

-jr
