What is the standard AH necessity per FA-232. I know it supposed to be able to sound off for (theoreticly) 10 days on 2ndry.

I got the Montauk Lighthouse and it has a
FA-232(4), that isn't an error either Smile I'm using the old style Thomas Edison 450 Nicads. I need to know what is the necessary AH rating for a standard FA-232(2) with VRB, in order to run the CG standard amount of time. I have a feeling Montauk can only run half of the standard time.

Thanks for the salty assistance!

ATON Tech Man will tell you all you need to know. Plug that info into a Solar Cal.

It sounds like you might have one of those unusual aids! Contact Jon Grasson at CG-432. He is in the global. He is the CG lead R&D ATON Tech at HQ.

On Monday, I'll take a look at your aid in IATONIS and do some math for ya.

Man.....I forgot about him. I figured out the math, by what is given to us.

CG standard of time: 10 days
Battery Amp hours : Can't think of it
right now)
Emergency Horn : 1

Using division; for every horn you add divide add one to your division.

10/1 equals CG standard AmpHours.

10/2 equals .5 of standard AmpHours and five days

10/3 equals .25 os stand. AH and 2.5 days.

and so forth.....
