1.4 GENERAL INFORMATION
General information on the SE 3708C system operation and system applications is provided below.
1.4.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The SE 3708C Uninterruptable Power Module is a true uninterruptable power supply in that it can take
power either from the power lines or from external storage batteries which are always on-line in case
the power fails. Normally, when AC power is available, the batteries are always kept charged; when
the power fails, the batteries take over immediately until AC power is restored.
To accomplish this, the 3708C is actually two power supplies working together. The first, or primary
power supply, provides low voltage for locks, for battery charging, and for the secondary power supply
which, in turn, produces all system voltages. During power outages, the batteries continue to provide
the low voltage needed for locks and the secondary power supply.
1.4.2 SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The 3708C can provide enough power to run an access control system consisting of the following
components:
•Up to 2 Access control unit(s).
•Up to 16 Multiple Switch Monitor(s) (SE 774) or Door Switch Monitor(s) (SE770).

Installation Introduction
66108566001-Rev. B 1-3 SE 3708C
•Up to 16 SE 2814/15 Sensors
•One or two batteries (12 VDC or 24 VDC).
•One or two SE 778 or 778A Annunciator/Control Module(s) powered by the ACU in 800-
series systems.
•One Modem (or similar accessory).
•Several low current locking devices or similar accessories (see below).
As shown in Table 1-1, the SE 3708C is available in four versions, 3708C-112, 3708C-124, 3708C-
212, and the 3708C-224. The 3708C-112 and 3708C-212 are intended for systems with 12-volt locks.
The 3708C-124 and 3708C-224 are to be used for systems with 24-volt locks. Since the batteries
provide lock voltage during power outages, the lock voltage requirement will also determine the battery
voltage requirement. Since the 12-volt 3708C-112/212 and the 24-volt 3708C-124/224 are set and
adjusted to their respective voltages at the factory, they cannot be converted in the field.
At facilities without emergency power systems, the SE 3708C can provide limited emergency power
to maintain access control. The total amount of power it can deliver, however, is fixed, and should not
be exceeded. Doing so may blow fuses, or damage the unit. Therefore, any devices in addition to
those listed above may cause the 3708C to be damaged or operate incorrectly.
As noted, installation personnel should be careful to avoid overloading the system. However, due to
the variety of locks and system configurations available, it is impossible to state exactly how many locks
the SE 3708C is capable of driving. However, for a typical system configuration consisting of one
Access Control Unit controlling several doors, the continuous lock power load should not exceed 4
amps at 12 VDC or 3 amps at 24 VDC. If additional lock power is required, or the system includes two
access control units, some or all lock power will probably need to come from an external power supply
instead of the SE 3708C. It is important to remember that any external power supply must function
independently and must not be paralleled with the SE 3708C.
Consequently, heavy lock power loads, monitoring modules such as motion detectors, glass break
detectors, infrared sensors, and smoke detectors should not be powered by the SE 3708C; they should
have separate power supplies.

Description Introduction
66108566001-Rev. B 2-5 SE 3708C
2.2.1 LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITRY
The purpose of the Low Voltage Switching Power Supply circuitry is to convert the input AC (120 VAC
or 230 VAC) to a 12/24 VDC level. This DC level will be +12 VDC on units that are configured to supply
power to 12 VDC locks and +24 VDC to units that are configured to supply power to 24 VDC locks.
The 12/24 VDC level is routed to the Lock Power terminals (via the Lock Fuse) and to the Control and
Indicators Circuitry as well as to the 400 Hz Inverter. The Lock Fuse is a 5-amp, normal-blow fuse on
12 VDC units and a 3-amp, normal-blow fuse on 24 VDC units.
As shown in Figure 2-3, the input AC is routed through the Line Power Fuse which is a 2-amp, slow-
blow fuse on 120 VAC units and a 1-amp, slow-blow fuse on 230 VAC units. The output of the Low
Voltage Switching Power Supply is routed through the Low Voltage Master Fuse before being routed
to the inputs of the Battery Disconnect, the Control Circuitry and Indicators circuitry, and the 400 Hz
Inverter circuitry. The Low Voltage Master Fuse is a 7-amp, normal-blow fuse on units powering +12
VDC locks and a 4-amp, slow-blow fuse on units powering +24 VDC locks.
2.2.2 BATTERY DISCONNECT CIRCUITRY
The Battery Disconnect Circuit consists primarily of the Battery Disconnect Relay and its associated
circuitry. During normal operation, when the SE 3708C is being powered from the AC line, the battery
(or batteries) are being kept at full charge by means of the DC power (+12 VDC or +24 VDC) from the
Low Voltage Switching Power Supply, via the Battery Disconnect Circuitry and the Battery Fuse.
This circuitry keeps the backup battery connected as long as AC power is available. Should a power
failure cause loss of AC power to the SE 3708C, or should the Low Voltage Power Supply fail, the
remainder of the Power Module circuitry will remain functioning normally since they will be powered
from the Backup Battery supply via the Battery Fuse and the Battery Disconnect Circuitry.
The Battery Fuse is a 10-amp, normal-blow fuse.
2.2.3 CONTROL AND INDICATORS CIRCUITRY
One function of the Control and Indicator Circuitry is to sense the voltage level of the 12/24 VDC level.
When this level drops below a certain level, it will cause the Battery Disconnect Relay to open,
disconnecting the SE 3708C from the ACU, and thus protecting the battery from over-discharging.
Another function of this circuitry is to send a POWER FAIL message to the ACU in the event that the
SE 3708C is operating on DC power and the battery charge has reached approximately the half-
discharged state. This signal will be generated before the battery reaches a state of discharge where
the Battery Disconnect Relay will disconnect the unit from the ACU.
Indicator LEDs
As shown in Figure 2-2, three LEDs are mounted on the SE 3708C control panel. These LEDs are
controlled by the Control and Indicator Circuitry and function as follows:

SE 3708C 2-6 66108566001-Rev. B
Description SE 3708C Power Supply Manual
BATT FULL VOLTS Lights to indicate a fully-charged battery. This LED will go out approxi-
mately 5 minutes after AC power is lost and the SE 3708C switches over
to fully-charged backup batteries. The POWER FAIL message will be
sent to the ACU at the same time that the LED goes out.
BATT CONN Lights to indicate that Battery Disconnect Relay is energized, thus
connecting the backup battery to the system.
ACU PWR Lights to indicate that the 400 Hz Inverter is supplying power to the ACU.
Battery Reset Switch
There is a momentary contact pushbutton switch on the control panel labeled BATT RESET. This
switch is only used in the event that the ACU is being powered from the SE 3708C backup batteries
and the batteries have been disconnected to be replaced with fresh batteries. After the fresh batteries
have been connected to the SE 3708C, the BATT RESET switch must be pressed in order to pull in
the Battery Disconnect Relay and apply DC power to the unit.
2.2.4 400 HZINVERTER
As shown in Figure 2-3, the 400 Hz Inverter inputs the 12/24 VDC level from the Low Level Switching
Power Supply via the Inverter Fuse. The output of this circuitry supplies the ACU with its primary AC
power. Three power levels are supplied: an 80 VAC, a 50 VAC, and a 40 VAC level.
Note that these power levels are measured peak-to peak. The 80 VAC peak-to-peak level is
functionally equivalent to 25.2 VRMS; the 50 VAC peak-to-peak level is functionally equivalent to 16
VRMS; and the 40 VAC peak-to-peak level is functionally equivalent to 12 VRMS. This is pointed out
since the ACU input power levels are usually stated in VRMS values.
The Inverter Fuse is a 3-amp, normal-blow fuse.
2.2.5 POWER ON/OFF SWITCH AND PILOT LIGHT
The Power ON/OFF Switch and the Pilot Light (see Figure 2-1) are located on the left side plate. When
the SE 3708C is plugged in and the switch is in the ON position, the Pilot Light will light to indicate that
AC power is applied to the unit.

3.1 LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The length of the ACU Power Cable is 6 feet (1.8 M) so the proximity of the SE 3708C to the ACU must
be within the limits of this cable.
The SE 3708C can be located in the same equipment cabinet as the ACU it is powering. However,
the Power Module should not be mounted below the ACU as the heat it radiates can raise the ambient
temperature of the ACU beyond its maximum acceptable limit.
Airflow around the heat sink should be unrestricted. Ideally, the unit should be mounted vertically so
air can flow upward through the heat sink fins.
If the temperature inside the enclosure is found to rise to 120°F (49°C) or more, cut ventilation holes
or slots in both the bottom and the top of the enclosure. If natural convection air current is insufficient
to prevent an ambient temperature of more than 120°F, a cooling fan must be used to force cooling
air through the enclosure.
Do not install the backup batteries in the enclosure with the SE 3708C. Corrosion from the batteries
can damage or destroy other equipment in the cabinet. Also, toxic fumes can build up to a point where
they present a danger both to the equipment and to personnel. Locate the batteries outside the
enclosure, but not at a distance that exceeds the length of the Battery Cable which is 10 feet (3 M).
The batteries should be located on a surface which is dry and open to the air.
The 400 Hz Inverter in the SE 3708C produces a whine which can bother some people. Therefore,
locate the Power Module where this noise will not be objectionable.
3.2 WIRING REQUIREMENTS
Provide a dedicated AC branch circuit for the SE 3708C and the entire access control system.
Powering other equipment from the same branch circuit makes tripped circuit breakers and blown
fuses (i.e., power failures) more likely.
