System Sensor Voltage Drop Calculator

System Sensor Voltage Drop Calculator is a lightweight CAD application whose purpose is to help you perform voltage drop calculations for file alarm control panels and auxiliary power supplies. This is an Adobe Air-based program so you need to previously deploy the working environment on your computer in order to make the tool work.

The utility reveals a well-structured suite of features and allows you to set up the calculation parameters in three steps. Hints are displayed for each step so you can quickly get an idea about how to tweak the settings.

System Sensor Voltage Drop Calculator offers you the possibility to create a new panel by providing information about the name and changing the voltage setting or power input setting. Plus, you create multiple panels and delete some of them.

What’s more, you are allowed to define a new circuit by giving details about the name, amplifier, circuit style, and AWG size settings.

The application gives you the freedom to add devices from a drop-down list. You may choose between existing SpectrAlert Advance devices, as well as legacy SpectrAlert devices. You are allowed to configure the device series and type, filter results by candela, mounting, location, and color, adjust the tone and volume settings, as well as specify the desired number of units and distance between devices settings.

Other important tweaks worth being mentioned enable you to create a list with favorite devices, print the panel or circuit, print all details, and save data to a file so you can import it in your future projects.

Last but not least, you are allowed to provide job details that are displayed on your client’s reports, such as address, city, notes, state, ZIP code, and project name.

The tool is able to calculate the voltage drops by analyzing each device on the circuit and generates reports with circuit voltages along the entire circuit at specific wire gauges.

Tests have shown that System Sensor Voltage Drop Calculator carries out calculations quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it affects the overall performance of the computer.

System Sensor Voltage Drop Calculator comes packed with several useful options for helping you plan Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) using the entire line of SpectrAlert Advance notification appliances and legacy devices.
