MaximalFD Series Overview:
Altronix MaximalFD Access Power/Controllers distribute and switch power to access control systems and
accessories. They convert a 120VAC 60Hz input into sixteen (16) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC
PTC protected protected outputs. The outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry
trigger input from an Access Control System, Keypad, Push Button, REX PIR, etc. Units will route power to a
variety of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc.
The FACP Interface enables Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary
devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the sixteen (16) outputs. All
interconnecting equipment must be UL Listed.

device. To activate alarm signal, open the door of the enclosure.
15. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 2, pg. 9) (Not evaluated by UL):
When using an additional Listed external power supply, jumpers J1 and J2 located on corresponding
ACM8CB board must be cut (Fig. 2c, pg. 9 and Fig. 5, pg. 12). Connect external Listed power-limited
access control power supply to the terminals marked [– Control +] (These terminals are paralleled to the
[– Power +] terminals). When using DC power supplies, polarity must be observed. When using AC
power supplies, polarity need not be observed (Fig. 2d, pg. 9). All field wiring connections must be made
employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute) (Fig. 4a, pg. 11).
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
FACP Supervision:
To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup, please follow the
appropriate procedure below:
Normally Open Input: Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the Fire
Alarm Disconnect. Remove the short to reset.
Normally Closed Input: Removing the wire from terminal marked [INP –] will trigger the Fire Alarm
Disconnect. Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP –] to reset.
FACP Signal Circuit Input: It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System.
In all of the above scenarios the green TRG LED of the ACM8CBs will illuminate. All outputs selected for
Fire Alarm Disconnect will activate releasing locking devices.
Note: All outputs [OUT 1] - [OUT 8] must be in a normal (de-energized) condition prior to testing. When
the unit is configured for Normally Open (Fig. 7, pg. 12) or Normally Closed (Fig. 9, pg. 12) latching
operation it is necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the Normally Closed reset switch.
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper
voltage level (refer to MaximalFD series Configuration Chart, pg. 3).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage at
the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked [+ BAT –] to ensure that there is no break in the battery
connection wires.
Note: Maximum charge current is 1.54A.

NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements:
Power-limited and non power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited
circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25” away from any non power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all
power-limited circuit wiring and non power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through differ-
ent conduits. One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may require different conduit
knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used. For power-limited applications use of conduit is
optional. All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or
