Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and with all local
codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only.
1. Mount unit in desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 7,8).
Secure enclosure to earth ground.
2. Set the unit to the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 (Fig. 1b, pg. 3) to the appropriate position
(Power Supply Output Specification Chart, pg. 3).
3. Secure cabinet to earth gourd. Connect AC power (115VAC / 60 Hz to terminals marked [L, G, N] (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input).
Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power limited circuits (AC fail/Low Battery reporting).
Keep power limited wiring separate from non-power limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, Battery Wires).
Minimum .25” spacing must be provided.
4. Measure output voltage before connecting device. This helps avoid potential damage.
When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed.
5. Connect devices to be powered to terminal pairs 1 to 4 marked [1P & 1N thru 4P & 4N] (Fig. 2a & 2b, pg. 6) or
1 to 8 marked [1P & 1N thru 8P & 8N] (Fig. 3a & 3b, pg. 6) carefully observing correct polarity.
6. For Access Control applications, batteries are optional. When batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in the
loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
Connect one (1) 12VDC battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT -] for 12VDC operation. Use two (2) 12VDC
batteries wired in series for 24VDC operation.
7. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to terminals marked [AC FAIL & BAT FAIL] (Fig. 1a, pg. 3)
supervisory relay outputs.
Note: When used in fire alarm, burglar alarm or access control applications, “AC Fail” relay must be used to
provide a visual indication of AC power on.
8. Please insure that the cover is secured with the provided key lock.

Terminal Legend Function/Description
L, G, N Connect 115VAC to these terminals: L to Hot, N to Neutral, G to ground.
-- DC + 12VDC or 24VDC @ 2.5 amp continuous power limited output.
AC FAIL Indicates loss of AC power, e.g. connect to annunciator/alarm panel. Relay normally
NC, C, NO energized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1 amp @ 30VDC. AC Fail condition will
report approximately within one (1) minute after loss of AC. To delay report for 6 hours cut
jumper J1 on the Power Supply Board (AC trouble output delay option). If this mode is selected
the Power Supply Board must be reset by removing all power to it for 30 seconds.
BAT FAIL Indicates low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm panel. Relay normally energized
NC, C, NO when DC power is present. Contact rating 1 amp @ 30VDC. Low battery conditions will report
approximately 21VDC (24VDC output setting) or approximately 10.5VDC (12VDC output
setting). Battery presence detection will report approximately 1 minute after battery remains
undetected (missing or removed).
+ BAT -- Stand-by battery connections. Maximum charge rate .7 amp.

Wiring:
USE 14 AWG or larger for all power connections.
Note: Take care to keep power limited circuits separate from non-power limited wiring (115VAC, Battery).
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level
(Power Supply Output Specification Chart, pg. 3).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage both at
battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [+ BAT -] to insure there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Note: Maximum charging current under discharges is .7 amp.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years, however it is recommended changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.
