The Gamewell-FCI 90520, 18 A/H seismic battery bracket for E3 B / C / D cabinets. Certified for IBC 2000-2013 and CBC 2007 jurisdictions.

Seismic bracket for 18 A/H batteries in E3 cabinets

The 90520 secures one 18 A/H battery inside the E3 CAB-B, CAB-C, or CAB-D cabinet for seismic-rated installations. Without the bracket the battery sits loose on the cabinet floor, fine for low-seismic areas, not acceptable in jurisdictions enforcing IBC 2000-2013 or CBC 2007 codes for fire alarm equipment.

Picking the right seismic bracket

Gamewell-FCI offers five seismic battery brackets sized by A/H rating and cabinet compatibility: 90516 (7 A/H, 7100-Slim), 90517 (12 A/H, 7100-Slim and E3 B-Slim), 90518 (7 A/H, E3 B/C/D), 90519 (12 A/H, E3 CAB-C/-D INX only), 90520 (18 A/H, E3 CAB-B/-C/-D). Pick by combined cabinet size and battery A/H, the 90520 is the right SKU for 18 A/H batteries in B, C, or D cabinets.
