Power Consumption
33.1 Introduction
To calculate the power consumption and power budget 
in an easy way, the power consumption or power supply 
of each unit is defined in Watt. A power load uses an 
amount of Watt, whereas a power source provides a 
number of Watts.
As long as the total number of Watt required by the 
power loads in the system are equal or less than the total 
amount of Watt provided by the power sources, 
normally no external power supplies are needed to feed 
additional power to the system.
33.2 Power 
consumption
See table 33.1 for a list of all power sinks in the 
Praesideo system.
33.3 Battery 
capacity 
calculation
An essential part of an emergency sound system is the 
backup power source. For compliancy with EN54-16, it 
is required that the power source complies with EN54-4. 
Often a battery pack with a charger is used as backup 
power source. To calculate the required battery 
capacity, an MS Excel sheet is provided on the 
distribution DVD in the Tools folder, the Praesideo 
Power Requirement Calculator. The accompanying 
application note describes how to use this program.
If the Praesideo Power Requirement Calculator is not 
used for battery capacity calculation, take the following 
into consideration:
In case the mains power fails, the battery capacity 
should be sufficient to address all zones in case of an 
emergency.
BGM should be stopped while the system is in the 
emergency state and/or is running on batteries, so 
the batteries are not loaded unnecessarily.
The current consumption of the amplifiers is the 
main load for the batteries. Most standards require 
that the battery capacity is sufficient for 24 hours of 
idle use (no calls, no BGM), followed by emergency 
announcements or tones for 30 minutes to all zones. 
The power consumption of the amplifiers depends 
on the level of the output signal and the connected 
load. Because the amplifiers are Class D amplifiers 
table 33.1: Power consumption
Type no.

Note
All items with an * do not consume power 
supplied by the Praesideo system.
Note
The power for the multi channel interface can be 
supplied by a connected basic amplifier or by 
the system. Refer to 9.3.3. 
If the multi channel interface receives power 
from a connected basic amplifier, the power 
load on the Praesideo system is 0 W.
If the multi channel interface receives power 
from the Praesideo system, the power load is 
12 W. Refer to table 33.1.
