All of the above UL Listed Sub-Assembly Power Supply/Chargers can be installed in
Trove1 and Trove2 Access and Power Integration Systems and Maximal Series.
*For UL603 applications, or if a power-limited output is required in the end-product application, the DC output
from the power supply must be connected to a separately Listed control unit or accessory board that provides
power-limited outputs. The product(s) providing the power-limited output(s) must be listed as appropriate for the
particular end-product application (fire alarm, burglar alarm, access control) and wired in accordance with the
products installation instructions. Class 1 wiring methods, separation of circuits, and proper fire-rated enclosures
all must be considered when connecting the DC output of the power supply to the end-product devices.
The auxiliary outputs of these units are power-limited.

Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, the Canadian
Electrical Code and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only.
1. Refer to Sub-Assembly Installation Instructions for mounting Rev. MS050913.
2. Set desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position on the power supply board
(Fig. 1i, pg. 4).
3. Connect unswitched AC power (120VAC 60Hz) to terminals marked [L, G, N] (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).
Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections. Secure green wire lead to earth ground.
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (120VAC 60Hz Input, DC Output
(refer to Specifications chart pg. 2), Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts.
Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.
4. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
5. Connect devices to be powered to terminals marked [– DC +] (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
For auxiliary device connection this output will not be affected by Low Power Disconnect or Fire Alarm
Interface. Connect device to terminals marked [+ AUX –] (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).
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 battery to terminals marked [– BAT +] (Fig. 1g, pg. 4). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in
series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included). Use batteries - Casil CL1270 (12V/7AH), CL12120
(12V/12AH), CL12400 (12V/40AH), CL12650 (12V/65AH) batteries or UL recognized BAZR2 batteries of
an appropriate rating.
Note: Separate enclosure must be used for housing 40AH or 65AH batteries.
7. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC FAIL & BAT FAIL (Fig. 1b, pg. 4) supervisory
relay outputs.
8. To delay AC reporting for 2 hrs., set SW2 to appropriate dip switch position [AC Delay] (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
9. To enable or disable Low Output Power Shutdown set SW2 to appropriate dip switch position [Shutdown]
(Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
10. A short or NO or NC input triggers FACP [Trigger EOL Shutdown] (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
11. Place a jumper for non-latching FACP. A momentary short on these terminals resets FACP latching
[Trigger EOL Shutdown] (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).

Wiring:
Use 18 AWG or larger for all low voltage power connections.
Note: Take care to keep power-limited circuits separate from non power-limited wiring (120VAC, 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.
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified
voltage (12VDC @ 13.2 or 24VDC @ 26.4) both at the battery terminal and at the
board terminals marked [– BAT +] to ensure that there is no break in the battery
connection wires.
Replacing Batteries: Disconnect existing batteries. Connect battery to the terminals marked [– BAT +].
Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation.
LED Diagnostics:
Red (DC) Clear (AC1) /
Green (AC) Power Supply Status
ON ON Normal operating condition.
ON OFF Loss of AC. Stand-by battery supplying power.
OFF ON No DC output.
OFF OFF Loss of AC. Discharged or no stand-by battery. No DC output.
