Grounding Requirements
An effectively grounded product is one that is intentionally connected to earth ground through a ground
connection or connections of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient current-carrying capacity
to prevent elevated voltages which may result in undue hazard to connected equipment or to persons.
Grounding of the Genetec Synergis IX system is done for three basic reasons:
1. Safety
2. Component protection
3. Noise reduction
Safety Grounding
The object of safety grounding is to ensure that all metalwork is at the same ground (or earth) potential.
Impedance between the Genetec Synergis IX system and the building scheme ground must conform to
the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations or electrical codes. These will vary
based on country, type of distribution system, and other factors. The integrity of all ground connections
should be checked periodically.
General safety dictates that all metal parts are connected to earth with separate copper wire or wires of
the appropriate gauge.
Earth Ground Connection
The DIN Rail enclosure and the DIN Rail modules must be grounded to a suitable single-point earth
ground connection in the installation. A minimum 14AWG solid copper wire (or thicker, in accordance to
local authorities) shall be used from the Genetec Synergis IX system's earth connection points.
The DIN Rail enclosure includes an earth ground single-point link connection via the metallic enclosure.
This single-point link is the Genetec Synergis IX system's earth ground. All modules that have earth
ground connections and that are installed in the same enclosure shall be connected to this single point. A
single-point earth ground connection avoids the creation of ground loops in the system and provides a
single reference point to earth ground.
Grounding Requirements

Note that the DIN Rail enclosure earth terminal is connected to the power supply V- terminal.
There must be only one single earth grounding point per system.

Mounting
The Power Supply is designed to be mounted on standard DIN Rail either in dedicated DIN cabinets or
generic DIN Rail mounting strip. It can also be hung from the top mount screw slot and permanently
fastened using the hole in the attachment clip
When installing the Power Supply ensure that there is adequate clearance around all sides of the device
and that air flow to the vents of the unit is not restricted. It is recommended to install the Power Supply in
a location that will facilitate easy access for wiring. It is also recommended that the Power Supply is
installed in electrical rooms, communication equipment rooms, closets or in an accessible area of the
ceiling.
1. Hook the upper tabs over the top edge of the DIN Rail.
2. Push the Power Supply against the DIN Rail mount until the lower tab clips under the lower rail.
Removal
The Power Supply can be removed from the DIN Rail mount using the following steps:
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the tab at the bottom of the Power Supply.
2. Lever the tab down and rotate the unit off the DIN Rail mount.
Cabinet Tamper Switch
The enclosure tamper input signals to the monitoring station or remote computer that the Power Supply
enclosure has been opened. The tamper input switch should be mounted into the steel bracket provided
and connected to the tamper connection terminal and the V- terminal as shown below. The tamper input
opens and closes trouble input AExxx:01 on the Power Supply.

Mains Power
The Power Supply should be supplied by a dedicated electrical power source rated for a minimum 5 Amp
load and have a dedicated circuit breaker. Connect the Power Supply module to mains input via an
appropriate IEC-C7 90 degree cable.
The earth wire shall be routed to the V- terminal on the Power Supply.
Warning:
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to
all local codes.
Termination of wiring to the Power Supply while power is applied or the battery is
connected may cause serious damage to the Power Supply and will VOID ALL
WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES. Power the unit only after all wiring, configuration
and jumper settings are completed.
Extra care must be taken when wiring the AC inputs. Improper connection will cause
permanent damage to the Power Supply.

Backup Battery
It is recommended that a minimum of a 7Ah battery is used as the main backup battery. From the
accessory bag provided, connect the RED and BLACK battery termination wires to the B+ and B- plugs.
Connect the spade terminals to the battery as shown below. Connection of the battery in reverse will not
damage the Power Supply but will cause the battery circuit to disconnect until correct connection is
made.
Warning: Only attach standard lead acid batteries.
Do not connect the battery wires or B+ and B plugs of the Power Supply to any other
ancillary device (siren, lock or mag clamp etc).
An incorrect connection may cause erroneous faults or serious damage to the Power
Supply and will VOID ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES.
The battery test procedure uses a special algorithm to prevent deep discharge and increase battery
endurance. A dynamic battery test is performed every ten minutes when mains power is present and a
battery condition alarm will be generated if the battery is either disconnected or shows poor capacity.
Battery fault conditions will activate the battery trouble zone associated with the address assigned to the
Power Supply.
In addition to the dynamic battery test procedure, the Power Supply performs a battery presence test
every 60 seconds, which determines whether the presence of a backup battery is detected. Similarly, a
battery condition alarm will be generated and the battery trouble zone associated with the address
assigned to the Power Supply will also be activated.
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 only one battery can be connected and monitored per
system. If more capacity is required a single, larger battery must be used.

Encrypted Module Network
The Power Supply incorporates encrypted RS-485 communications technology. Network power is
supplied by the N+ and N- terminals. Connection of the communications and network power should be
performed according to the diagram shown. It is important that the N+ network communications power
be 12VDC supplied from an independent battery backed power supply unit or a networked module
capable of supplying the required voltage to all devices on the RS-485 network.
Standard Communications Connection
Always connect the Power Supply NA and NB terminals to the NA and NB terminals of the
communication network.
Network Power Supplied by Network Module
The diagram above shows a power connection taken from the auxiliary power outputs on the Power
Supply's zone terminals. This connection is suitable for smaller systems provided that the:
Maximum total output current,
AUX DC output current,
B1/B2 DC output current, and
Total combined current
are ALL lower or equal to the values outlined in the Technical Specifications section.
If these currents are exceeded, a separate power supply shall be used.
Warning: The 12V N+ and N- communication input must be supplied from only ONE
point. Connection from more than one 12V supply may cause failure or damage to the
units supplying power.

Module Wiring
The recommended module network wiring specifications are:
Belden 9842 or equivalent
24AWG twisted pair with characteristic impedance of 120ohm
Maximum total length of cable is 900m (3000ft)
CAT5e / CAT6 are also supported for data transmission when using ground in the same cable
(to a maximum length 100m (328ft))
Warning: Unused wires in the cable must not be used to carry power to other devices.
End of Line (EOL) Resistors
The 330 Ohm EOL (End of Line) resistor provided in the accessory bag must be inserted between the NA
and NB terminals of the first and last modules on the RS-485 network. These are the modules physically
located at the ends of the RS-485 network cabling.

Output Load Connection
The Power Supply provides two sets of 12VDC output terminals, V1+ and V2+.
Both V1+ and V2+ outputs are individually fused, with 6 terminals associated to each output and its
individual fuse.
A maximum current output of 3.0 Amps at 12VDC can be provided across each output at any one time.
However, if a single current output of 4.0 Amps is required, then both outputs need to be connected
together in parallel.
When any inductive load, including electric locking devices, is powered (directly or indirectly) by the
Power Supply, a reverse EMF protection diode must be placed across the positive (V1+ or V2+) and
negative (V-) terminals at the device.
Note: The 1N4007 diode shown MUST be installed across the + and – terminals
of any inductive load such as electric locks, magnetic or motorized devices.

Inputs (Zones)
The Power Supply has no physical input (zone) connections. The Power Supply monitors 8 trouble
inputs used to report trouble conditions. A trouble input is in most cases not physically connected with
an input in to the Power Supply; rather it is related to a status condition within the system. For example a
module communication fault causes a trouble input to open as a result of the communication failure.
Trouble Inputs
Each Power Supply can monitor up to 8 trouble inputs. Trouble inputs are used to monitor the status of
the Power Supply and in most cases are not physically connected to an external input.
The following table details the trouble inputs that are configured in the system and the trouble type and
group that they activate.
Input
Number Description Type Group
AExxx:01 Module Tamper System Tamper System
AExxx:02 Mains Failure Power Fault General
AExxx:03 Low Battery/Battery Failure Power Fault General
AExxx:04 Output Voltage Low Power Fault General
AExxx:05 Output Over-Current Failure Power Fault General
AExxx:06 Core Temperature Over-TempFailure Power Fault General
AExxx:07 Reserved None None
AExxx:08 Module Offline Module Offline System
Replace 'xxx' with the appropriate address of the Power Supply that you are programming.
The Power Supply emulates an Analog Expander module on the Genetec Synergis IX module network.
This means that all programming, trouble input and PGM output information is stored in and reported by
the Analog Expander records when programming via the Genetec Synergis IX Alphanumeric LCD
Keypad or Genetec Synergis IX software.
Inputs (Zones)

Outputs
The Power Supply has two 50mA outputs that can operate as either programmable outputs (PGMs) or as
predefined status outputs, depending on the network status of the module on the Genetec Synergis IX
system.
Online Mode
Upon successfully completing the initial registration with any Genetec Synergis IX System Controller,
the outputs of the Power Supply operate in Online Mode. The module will then continue to operate in
Online Mode until a firmware update is carried out. While in Online Mode the 2 outputs function as
programmable outputs (PGMs) and can be used to activate bell sirens, lighting circuits, door locks, relay
accessory products and other automation points.
PGM Outputs
The 2 PGM Outputs each have a 50mA Solid State relay.
The connection example below shows the control of an external LED indicator.
Note: Switching inductive loads that can produce high back EMF voltages or large voltage induced
spikes can cause the Power Supply to behave unexpectedly and should be avoided.
A suitable isolation circuit must be installed between the relay contacts of the Power Supply and the
inductive load.
The outputs used for both PGMs are rated for low power use only (50mA, 12V Max).
Incorrect use may cause erroneous faults or serious damage to the Power Supply and
will VOID ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES.
Offline Mode
Until connection to a Genetec Synergis IX System Controller is established, the outputs of the Power
Supply operate in Offline Mode. While in Offline Mode the 2 outputs function as status outputs. In
addition to the comprehensive front panel diagnostic indicators, these status outputs offer additional
information that can aid the installer in diagnosing faults and conditions.

AC Fail Status Output
The AC Fail Status Output has a Solid State relay. The output relay contacts disconnect (Normally
Open) when AC power is removed and the unit remains running on backup battery power. Upon restoring
AC power, the output relay will revert back to its default state (Normally Closed).
This output is suited for connection to an input on a Genetec Synergis IX module with spare inputs
available so that the Power Supply AC status can be externally monitored. The connection example
above shows monitoring of the AC Status set up in conjunction with a Genetec Synergis IX Input
Expander.
Battery Fail Status Output
The Battery Fail Status Output has a Solid State relay. The output relay contacts disconnect (Normally
Open) when either the backup battery has been disconnected, or when the Power Supply is running on
backup battery power without AC power and the backup battery voltage drops below 10.5V. Upon
reconnecting a backup battery with a voltage greater than 11.5V the output relay will revert back to its
default state (Normally Closed).
This output is suited for connection to an input on the Genetec Synergis IX System for early detection of
complete power failure. The connection example above shows monitoring of the Battery Status set up in
conjunction with a 16 Zone Input Expander.
The outputs used for both the AC Fail and Battery Fail Status Outputs are rated for low
power use only (50mA, 12V Max) Incorrect use may cause erroneous faults or serious
damage to the Power Supply and will VOID ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES.

Intelligent Monitoring
The Power Supply is able to relay information about critical system voltages, currents and temperature
to the Genetec Synergis IX Controller by registering as an Analog Expander module on the Genetec
Synergis IX network. The Genetec Synergis IX Controller can then store these values in system
registers that can be viewed live from the Genetec Synergis IX interface.
Monitoring Setup
The Power Supply will register with the Genetec Synergis IX Controller as an Analog Expander module,
AExxx.
The channels for each Power Supply will monitor:
Channel 1: Voltage at V2+ output
Channel 2: Voltage at V1+ output
Channel 3: Power Supply module core voltage
Channel 4: Total current output
The Log Channel Data option may also be selected to view the raw data as it is received in the event
log. However, this will create a large amount of events and should only be used for verifying the
reception of data.
