Electrical Specification:
Physical Specification:
PSU Output Voltage:
12V DC The power supply provides two 12V outputs. One pre-wired to power
the ACTpro 1500 controller.
The full load current of 2A is shared between the two outputs.
However the total current from both outputs must not exceed 2A.
Monitoring:
Mains present The PSU MAINS PRESENT output is pre-wired to the MAINS
PRESENT input of the ACTpro controller.
Output Voltage The PSU output voltage level is reported to the ACT PC software and
via the web browser.
Tamper The enclosure lid is tamper monitored.
Note: All faults including MAINS Present and Tamper are reported on the
ACT Software and via the web browser on the ACTpro 1520 and
1500 controller

ACTpro 1520 PSU Operating and Installation Manual
LED indicators:
Green - AC OK Indicates that the AC Mains is within specification.
Amber –Powered By Battery Indicates that the battery is supplying the output voltage.
Red - Fuse Fault Indicates electronic output shutdown fuse is active and
that no power is being supplied to the load.
The maximum current that the PSU can guarantee is 2A.
Beyond this the fuse will trip and the LED will stay on until
the load is fully disconnected.
Once the load has been disconnected, remove devices to
reduce the current demand below 2A.
It is important for the installer to calculate the power
budget adequately. Please refer to the section titled
„Power Budget‟ for more information.
Installation Instructions:
The ACTpro 1520 is for indoor installation only and must be installed as permanently
connected equipment.
This equipment must be earthed and an RCD/Earth Fault device must be fitted.
An external disconnect device must be fitted. Before installation ensure that the mains
supply to the ACTpro 1520 is disconnected.
Mains power should be connected to the ACTpro 1520 by a licensed electrician in
accordance with local/national codes.
Mounting.
Mount the ACTpro 1520 directly on to the wall with the supplied screws.
The keyed mounting hole should be screwed first to the wall to aid the mounting. The unit
should be installed in a ventilated area that allows for accessibility after installation.

ACTpro 1520 PSU Operating and Installation Manual
Mains Power up.
Attach the correctly rated mains cable and fasten using the cable ties.
Use an approved external mains disconnect device.
Apply mains power, check the “AC OK” LED is on and measure the
voltage at the output.
Battery insertion.
Disconnect the mains.
Ensure the battery has enough charge to supply the load.
Connect the red battery lead to the + battery terminal and the black lead to the –terminal.
Apply the mains power and check the “AC OK” Green LED is illuminated.
Remove the mains power and check that the “Powered By Battery” Amber led illuminated.
If the Amber led is illuminated the battery is now supplying the output.
Re-apply the mains power, the “AC OK” Led will illuminate and the “Power By Battery” led
will extinguish.
Power Budget.
The ACTpro 1520 can supply up to 2A to power the access control system. The ACTpro
1500 requires 250mA leaving a balance of 1750mA to power the remainder of the system.
A complete access control system will require readers and a lock mechanism all of which
will require power.
The following table should be used for calculating the power budget.
ACTpro 4000 Controller 400mA
ACTpro 1500 Controller 250mA
ACTpro 100e Door Station 120mA
ACTpro-X reader (1030/1040/1040/1050/1060) 50mA
ACTPro mifare reader (1030/1040/1040/1050) 50mA
Typical Mag Lock (consult your supplier) 800mA
