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 the 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 three 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, pgs. 7-8).
Secure enclosure to earth ground. It is recommended to first review the following tables for screw terminals, switch
selection and LED status indications. This will greatly facilitate installation hook-up.
Carefully review:
Stand-by Specifications (pg. 2)
LED Diagnostics (pg. 4)
Terminal Identification Table (pg. 4)
2. Connect AC power (115VAC 60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, 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 0.25” spacing must be provided.
For Fire Alarm applications the outputs are “Special Applications” only, see list (refer to Appendix A, pg. 5).
3. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.

4. Connect 5VDC devices to be powered at 5VDC to the terminals marked [+ 5VDC -- ].
5. Connect 12VDC devices to be powered at 12VDC to the terminals marked [+ 12VDC -- ].
6. Connect 24VDC devices to be powered at 24VDC to the terminals marked [+ 24VDC -- ].
7. Connect two (2) 12V Stand-by batteries.
Note: For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in
the loss of output voltage. Batteries must be lead acid or gel type if used. Two (2) 12V Stand-by batteries
connected in series to the terminals marked [+ BAT -- ] (Fig. 1 , pg. 3).
8. It is required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC FAIL, LOW BAT] (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail & Low Battery reporting. AC Failure will report in 5 minutes.
Note: When used in fire alarm or access control applications, “AC Fail” relay should be utilized to visually indicate
that AC power is on. To delay report for 6 hours cut “AC Delay” jumper (Fig. 1a, pg. 3).
9. Please ensure that the cover is secured with the provided Key Lock.

CAUTION: De-energize unit prior to servicing. For continued protection against risk of electric shock and fire hazard
replace fuse with the same type and rating. Do not expose to rain or moisture.

Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once ayear for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level
(see Terminal Identification Tables).
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 under discharge is 0.7 amp.
Note: Expected battery life is 5years; however, it is recommended changing batteries in 4years or less if necessary.
