PRODUCTS, INC.
APPLICATION
The ELK-P412 is a general purpose high current power supply and battery charger. It is ideal for alarm, access
control, and CCTV applications requiring up to 4 Amps. It distributes 12 Volts D.C. power to three (3) sets of DC power
terminals, each having a voltage present indicator LED and automatic resetting overload protection. Built-In Low
Battery Cut-off circuit protects the battery from deep discharging if AC power is lost for an extended period of time.

INSTALLATION / OPERATION
1. Set Master Power Switch (SW1) to Power Off.
2. Mount enclosure in secure location near an AC power
outlet that is not controlled by a switch.(supplied power
cord is 6 feet long)
3. Connect devices to be powered to the screw terminals
for DC output. The power distribution board has three
sets of outputs, each set is limited to 2.5 amps. If a
device requires more that 2.5 Amps, parallel two sets of
terminals. (DO NOT EXCEED 4 AMPS)
4. Connect Battery to the battery wires, observe polarity.
5. Plug in the AC cord. Warning High Voltage is now
present at the power supply AC input terminals.
6. Set the Master Power Switch to Power On. The LEDs at
the power outputs should be on (if any are off, check for
overloaded condition). The connected devices are now
powered.
7. If AC power is lost, the Low Battery circuit will disconnect
the battery if it's voltage drops below 10 Vdc. This helps
to prevent "deep discharging" of the battery.
