Abstract
Some non-limiting aspects of the present disclosure allow a single box to implement a control panel for controlling two or more safety/automation systems (e.g., fire protection, intrusion, access control, building controls, etc.), while also meeting standby and/or other battery backup requirements of each one of the safety/automation systems.
Claims20
A control panel configured to control two or more premises safety or automation systems of a premises, the control panel comprising:
- a first connection connectable to supply power to one or more first devices of a first premises safety or automation system having a first standby time requirement;
- a second connection connectable to supply power to one or more second devices of a second premises safety or automation system having a second standby time requirement that is less than the first standby time requirement;
- and
- one or more processors that, individually, as a subgroup, or in combination, are configured to:
- enter a standby mode in which the first connection and the second connection supply battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system and the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system;
- and
- disconnect the second connection to cease supplying the battery backup power to the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system upon expiration of the second standby time requirement, while keeping the first connection to continue supplying the battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system.

A control panel configured to control two or more premises safety or automation systems of a premises, the control panel comprising:
- a first connection connectable to supply power to one or more first devices of a first premises safety or automation system having a first standby time requirement;
- a second connection connectable to supply power to one or more second devices of a second premises safety or automation system having a second standby time requirement that is less than the first standby time requirement;
- and
- one or more processors that, individually, as a subgroup, or in combination, are configured to:
- enter a standby mode in which the first connection and the second connection supply battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system and the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system;
- determine, upon expiration of the second standby time requirement, whether a current drawn by the second premises safety or automation system is greater than a threshold;
- and
- disconnect the second connection to cease supplying the battery backup power to the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system responsive to expiration of the second standby time requirement and the current being greater than the threshold, while keeping the first connection to continue supplying the battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system.

A control panel configured to control two or more premises safety or automation systems of a premises, the control panel comprising:
- a first connection connectable to supply power to one or more first devices of a first premises safety or automation system having a first standby time requirement;
- a second connection connectable to supply power to one or more second devices of a second premises safety or automation system having a second standby time requirement equal to the first standby time requirement;
- and
- one or more processors that, individually, as a subgroup, or in combination, are configured to:
- enter a standby mode in which the first connection and the second connection supply battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system and the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system;
- determine, upon expiration of the second standby time requirement, whether the first premises safety or automation system has a higher standby priority than the second premises safety or automation system;
- disconnect the second connection, responsive to the first premises safety or automation system having the higher standby priority than the second premises safety or automation system, to cease supplying the battery backup power to the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system, while keeping the first connection to continue supplying the battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system;
- and
- disconnect the first connection, responsive to the second premises safety or automation system having the higher standby priority than the first premises safety or automation system, to cease supplying the battery backup power to the one or more first devices of the first premises safety or automation system, while keeping the second connection to continue supplying the battery backup power to the one or more second devices of the second premises safety or automation system.
