Maximal Rack Access Power Controllers (PTC) - 3 -
Overview:
These units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 115VAC 50/60Hz
input into eight (8) or sixteen (16) independently controlled 12VDC and/or 24VDC PTC protected outputs. Outputs are
activated by an normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card
Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. Units will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices includ-
ing: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure
modes. 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 outputs (see chart below).

- 4 - Maximal Rack Access Power Controllers (PTC)
Installation Instructions:
Important: Adjust output voltages, and Fire Alarm Interface configuration before installing unit in the rack.
1. Separate bottom and top of rack mount chassis by removing six (6) screws (Rack Mechanical Drawing &
Dimensions, pg. 11).
2. Set output voltage:
 SelectdesiredDCoutputvoltagebysettingSW1onthepowersupplyboard(s)(Fig. 1a, pg. 6) to the
appropriate position (Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts, pg. 5).
For Maximal33RD each set of eight (8) outputs can be set for 12VDC or 24VDC (example: eight (8) outputs @
12VDC and eight (8) outputs @ 24VDC).
3. Input trigger programming options:
The unit can be programmed to operate with either a normally open or normally closed input from access control
 devicesbysettingswitchesSW3oneithertheACM8CBR-SorACM16CBR-Sboardtotheappropriateposition
(Fig. 2b, pg. 7);OPENforanormallyclosed[NC]triggerinputorCLOSEDforanormallyopen[NO]input.
4. Output programming options:
a. The outputs can be programmed to be either all Fail-Safe (i.e. mag locks), all Fail-Secure (i.e. electric strikes) or
any combination of each by setting the corresponding OUTPUT SELECT dip switches (1-8) on the ACM8R-S
board to the appropriate position; ON for Fail-Safe outputs or OFF for Fail-Secure outputs (Fig. 2a, pg. 7).
Note: the output configuration will follow the input trigger option
b. To enable the FACP Disconnect for an output the corresponding FIRE ALARM INTERFACE switch must be
in the ON position. To disable the FACP Disconnect the FIRE ALARM INTERFACE dip switches (1-8) on the
ACM8CBR-S/ACM16CBR-S board must be in the OFF position (Fig. 2a, pg. 7).
5. Fire Alarm Interface hookup options:
 Anormallyclosed[NC],normallyopen[NO]inputorpolarityreversalfromanFACPsignalingcircuitwilltrigger

ACM8CBR-M board to the appropriate positions (Figs. 3a & 3b, pg. 7) (Fire Alarm Interface Switch Settings pg. 5).
6. Battery Connections:
For access control applications batteries are optional. If batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in the loss of
 outputvoltage.Whenbatteriesareusedtheymustbeleadacidorgeltype.Connectone(1)batterytotheterminals

(Fig. 4b/5b, pg. 8). The rack mount enclosure will not accommodate batteries. A separate battery enclosure is required.
Note:Whenusing the Maximal33RD with battery backup two (2) separate batteries or sets of batteries must be used.
7. Battery and AC Supervision outputs:
Connect the appropriate notification signaling device to the terminals marked AC Fail and Battery Fail on the power supply
board(s) (Fig. 4a/5a, pg. 8).Use 22AWGto18AWGfor AC Fail and Low/No Battery reporting.
8. Reassemble the bottom and top of rack mount chassis by fastening the six (6) screws.
(Rack Mechanical Drawing & Dimensions pg. 11).
9. Attach mounting brackets to rack mount Maximal for desired rack or wall installation (Fig. 12-14, pg. 10).
10. Mount in desired rack location. Do not obstruct side air vents.
11. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the OFF position (Fig. 15a, pg. 11).
12. Plug power cord into grounded 50/60Hz receptacle (Fig. 15b, pg. 11).
13. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the ON position (Fig. 15a, pg. 11).
14. Measure the output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.
15. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the OFF position (Fig. 15a, pg. 11).
16. Input trigger connections:
Connect the Normally Open or Normally Closed input triggers from the access control devices to the removable
 terminalsmarked[IN1andGND]through[IN8andGND]forMaximal1RHDandMaximal3RHD.For  
