Installing and Maintaining the Model PS1000
InstallingtheModelPS1000requiresmountingtheenclosureandwiringthePS1000.Tocalculatebattery
capacity,alarmduration,andothervariables,use“Table3Battery-sizecalculationworksheet”onpage8.
For access control applications, standby batteries are optional. When standby batteries are not used, a loss of
ACresultsinthelossofoutputvoltage.Whenstandbybatteriesareused,theymustbelead-acidorgel.
Mounting the Model PS1000 Enclosure
Fortheenclosuredimensions,seeFigure1onpage4.
 SelectamountinglocationfortheModelPS1000.
Mark and drill 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 upper keyholes of the enclosure over the two upper screws.
Level and the enclosure and tighten the two upper screws.
Mark the position of the lower two holes and remove the enclosure.
 Drillthelowerholesandinstallthethreefasteners.
Place the upper keyholes of the enclosure over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and
make sure to tighten all screws.
Secure the enclosure to earth ground.
Wiring the Model PS1000
Foranillustrationoftheenclosurewiring,seeFigure2onpage5.Keepthepowerlimitedwiringatleast0.25"
awayfromnon-powerlimitedwiring,suchastheACinputwiresandbatterywires.
SHORT CIRCUIT—Do not expose the Model PS1000 to rain or moisture. Failure to
heed this warning may cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE—To avoid equipment damage, do not exceed a total output
rating of 10 A for each Model PS1000 installed.
TowiretheModelPS1000:
 Toavoiddamagetotheequipment,measuretheoutputvoltagebeforeconnectingtheModelPS1000.
Ensure that the enclosure is connected to earth ground.
 Use22AWGto18AWGwiringtoconnectACpowertotheterminalsmarkedL,G, N.
 Use14AWGorthickerforallpowerconnections(battery,DCoutput,ACinput).
NOTE:Keepthepowerlimitedwiringseparatefromnon-powerlimitedwiring(ACinput,battery
wires).Minimum0.25"spacingmustbeprovided.

H. Battery capacity required for alarm (E + F) * GAh
I. Total calculated battery capacity D + H Ah
J. Battery capacity required I * 1.8 (safety factor) Ah
Notes: The Model PS1000 is designed to work with batteries up to 65 Ah.
Line I must not exceed 36 Ah. To keep Line I at or under 36 Ah, either reduce standby current consumption
(Line A) or the standby time (Line C).
.
To determine actual battery size, round line J to the nearest larger standard battery size,
(e.g., 3.5 Ah = 4.0 Ah).

Maintaining the Model PS1000
SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARDS—De-energize the Model PS1000 before servicing it. For
continued protection against the risk of electric shock and re hazard, replace the
fuses with fuses of the same type and rating.
Input fuse: 10 A, 250 V
Battery fuse: 15 A, 32 V
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thespecied
voltage both at the battery terminal and at the board terminals marked + BAT – to insure there is no break in
the battery connection wires.
Notes:Maximumchargingcurrentunderdischargesis3.6A. Expectedbatterylifeis5years,howeveritis
recommendedthatbatteriesarechangedwithin4years,ifneeded.
