Section 1
Introduction
The Beacon Line of power supplies (BNx000) is an of off-line switching power supply product
line designed for use in the access control and fire industries by the Systems Integrator. They
accept several accessory boards designed to increase the functionality of the basic power
supply.
Field selectable output voltage of 12V or 24VDC
Units provide twice the current capability when set to 12VDC as at 24VDC. This is to
compensate for the typically double current draw of 12V devices such as mag locks.
Expandable with accessory boards via the ABC connector
All units can charge up to 38AH of battery while supplying full rated load
Full fault detection, including battery presence detection, and reporting via two form-C
relay contacts; AC fault and System Fault
Flexible FAI input for egress control or other functions. Accepts contact closure (NO or
NC), voltage input, reverse polarity voltage, or open collector input
FAI activation is transmitted to ABC connector for activation of FAI on compatible
accessory boards
Fault conditions monitored include:
Low or missing AC
High or low output / battery
Blown fuse
Missing battery
Reversed Battery
Internal Power Supply failure
Visual indicators include:
AC Presence (Green)
DC Output Presence (Green)
FAI Activated (Red)
Reversed Battery Fault (Yellow)
AC Fault (Yellow)
System Trouble (Yellow)

3.3 AC Input Connection
The AC input for the BNx000 is made through a fully shrouded pluggable cable which plugs into
the AC PWR CONNECT plug (P1). The cable allows connection to either 120 VAC or 240 VAC
nominal input. The BNx000 power supply must be configured for proper VAC input prior to
connection or damage to the system will occur (see section 3.3.3, AC Input Safety Precautions).

3.3.1 Configuring VAC Input
All BNx000 power supplies are factory set for 120 VAC input (102-138VAC at 50 or 60Hz). To
verify 120 VAC input setting:
Locate the VAC SELECT jumper (J5)
Verify that J5 is in the UP position for 120 VAC input
The BNx000 will also operate with a 240 VAC (195-264VAC at 50 or 60Hz) input. For 240 VAC
input:
Reposition the VAC SELECT jumper (J5) in the DOWN position or remove it before
energizing the power supply.
3.3.2 Wiring the AC Input Power Cable:
The AC Input Power Cable (part #00518) is included. Connection to the harness should be
made via wire nut to an appropriate power source. AC mains wiring should be no smaller than
14 AWG. Wire the cable as follows:
