Section 1
Introduction
The PS5-M is an off-line switching (OLS) power supply designed for use in the access control, fire
industry, and related industries by the systems integrator. It accepts a variety of accessory boards
designed to increase the functionality of the basic power supply.
Features:
Field selectable regulated output voltage of 12V or 24 VDC
Units provide twice the current capability when set to 12 VDC as at 24 VDC. This is to
compensate for the typically double current draw of 12V devices such as maglocks.
Expandable with plug-in accessory boards via the ABC connector - ABC connector can power
either of two available power busses, Buss 1 or Buss 2
All units can charge up to 80 AH of battery within 48 hours (40 AH in 24 hours) while supplying
full rated load
Full fault detection, including battery presence and ground fault detection, and reporting via two
form-C relay contacts; AC fault and Common Fault
Fault conditions monitored include:
Low or missing AC
High or low output / battery
Blown fuse
Missing battery (optional via jumper)
Reversed Battery
Earth Ground Fault (optional via jumper)
Internal Power Supply failure
Visual indicators include:
AC Presence (Green)
DC Output Presence (Green)
Earth Ground Fault (Yellow)
AC Fault (Yellow)
System Trouble (Yellow)

3.3 AC Input Connection
The AC input for the PS5-M is made through a fully shrouded pluggable cable which plugs into the
AC Power input connector plug (J1). Connection to the harness should be made via wire nut to an
appropriate AC source.
The PS5-M accepts a nominal AC input of 120 or 230 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz.
Caution - Use an AC voltmeter to verify that the main AC power is not energized prior to
connecting the PS5-M.
When connecting the PS5-M to 120 VAC, the AC Input cable connections are as follows:
Black - Line
White - Neutral
Green or Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
When connecting the PS5-M to 230 VAC, the AC Input cable connections are as follows:
Black - Line 1 (L1)
White or Red - Line 2 (L2)
Green or Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
CAUTION - Be sure to cut jumper JP3 and remove when using a 230 VAC Input or damage to
the supply will occur. See Figure 3.3.1.
Note - The AC input connector is a convenient means for AC disconnect, since the connector is fully
shrouded when disconnected.
Note - The Green or Green/Yellow earth ground wire should always be connected first or
disconnected last for safety.
Note - All wiring should be installed in accordance with (NEC760) NFPA70, NFPA72, and all local
code requirements. Power limited wiring requires that power limited and non-power limited wiring
remain physically separated. All power limited circuits must remain at least one quarter inch (¼”)
away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. All power limited circuit wiring must enter and exit
the cabinet through different knockouts than non-power limited wiring.

3.4 ABC Connectors and Harnesses
3.4.1 The ABC buss supplies the output voltage and fault status to and from compatible accessory
boards. The voltage is carried by either pins 5 and 6 or pins 7 and 8 of the ABC connector (J4). By
appropriate positioning of the fuse associated with JP5, JP6, and JP7, the PS5-M output can be
connected to other accessory boards in the system for distribution by either Buss 1 or Buss 2. See
Section 5.2 for additional information on selection of Buss 1 or Buss 2.

3.5 Output Terminals
The PS5-M has one set of output terminals labeled DC+ and DC- which provides a constant regulated
output of either 12 VDC or 24 VDC. The DC OK LED (D15) indicates that voltage is available at the
output terminals. See Section 5.1 for additional information on voltage selection.
Caution - Observe the polarity of the PS5-M output terminals with respect to the load or damage to
the load may occur.
3.6 Battery Terminals
The PS5-M has one set of battery terminals labeled BAT+ and BAT- which will charge up to 80
amphours within 48 hours or up to 40 amphours within 24 hours. The output is fuse protected.
Caution - Observe the polarity of the PS5-M battery terminals with respect to the battery set or
damage to the load, power supply, or battery set may occur.
Note - When there are no batteries on the PS5-M, it is normal for there to be no voltage on the
battery terminals. The charger does not enable until it senses a battery on the terminals.
Note - Connecting batteries in parallel does not allow the PS5-M to supervise the entire battery set
for presence.
Note - Series-connected batteries should always be of the same amphour capacity, age, and
state-of-charge to prevent battery / system damage.
Note - It is the responsibility of the installer to determine the minimum battery requirement for the
particular application in which the supply is being used. Backup batteries should be serviced at
regular intervals as determined by local and/or national codes.

3.7 Fault Reporting Terminals
The fault reporting relay connections are made through removable terminal strip, J3. Separate Form
C relays are provided for AC Fault and Common Fault. Six fault terminals are available:
1. AC FLT Common (COM)
2. AC FLT Normally Closed (NC)
3. AC FLT Normally Open (NO)
4. COM FLT Common (COM)
5. COM FLT Normally Closed (NC)
6. COM FLT Normally Open (NO)
The fault outputs employ “Fail-safe” operation and are held powered in a non-fault condition. Board
legend shows relay condition in the non-powered, or fault, state.

3.8 Fusing
The PS5-M contains two replaceable fuses - the Battery Fuse and the ABC Buss Fuse. When replacing
these fuses, only the equivalent type and rating are to be used. The PS5-M utilizes commonly
available Automotive Miniature fuses (Type ATM). Both fuses are rated at 15A (ATM-15).
The AC Input fuse is a soldered-in non-replaceable fuse. If it is determined that this fuse has opened,
the PS5-M board must be returned to AlarmSaf for repair.

4.2 Wiring
4.2.1 Wire Routing
All wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA70, NFPA72, and all local code requirements.
Power Limited wiring requires that power limited and non-power limited wiring remain physically
separated. Any power limited circuit entering the enclosure must remain at least one quarter inch
(¼”) away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. Any power limited circuit wiring must enter
and exit the enclosure through different knockouts than non-power limited circuit wiring. Wiring
within the enclosure should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not be
routed across the circuit boards.
4.2.2 AC Input
Connection should be made via wire nut. AC mains wiring should be no smaller than 14 AWG.
See Section 3.3 for details.
4.2.3 ABC Connector
See section 3.4
4.2.4 Output Wiring
Locate the output terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes between
#12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is notated on the PCB, and on the supporting documentation.
4.2.5 Battery Wiring
Locate the battery terminals. These terminals are non-removable and accept wire sizes between
#12 and #22 AWG. Polarity is notated on the PCB. If the PS5-M is set for 12 VDC, connect a
single 12V battery to the terminals. If the PS5-M is set for 24 VDC, connect two 12V batteries in
series to the terminals.
Note - Connecting batteries in parallel does not allow the PS5-M to supervise the entire battery
set for presence when an individual battery is removed.
CAUTION - A lead-acid battery has the capability of producing extremely high current.
Personal or property damage can occur if the batteries are shorted or improperly
connected.
4.2.6 Fault Relay Wiring
Locate the Fault Relay Output terminal block (J3) and remove the terminal block from the header.
Connect the wiring for the fault outputs to the terminal block. See section 3.2 for the
connections for each relay. Replace the terminal block on the header.
Note - The relays are labeled in the non-powered (fault) state. Under a no-fault condition, the
relays are powered (i.e. Common to Normally Open connected).

Section 5
Operating the PS5-M
5.1 Output Voltage Selection
Before powering a system containing a PS5-M, the output voltage switch (SW1 - Voltage Select) must
be set for the proper output voltage or damage to the system could occur. Do not change the switch
setting while the unit is powered or damage to the system may occur. Set the switch towards the
green AC Visual Indicator for 12V, away from the green AC Visual Indicator for 24V (the PC board is
labeled with the voltage settings).
