control terminals) must be cut. Connect power for
the NP-AMOD8 to the terminals marked [- Control +]
and connect power for the locking devices to the ter-
minals marked [- Power +].
Note: When using DC power supplies, polarity must
be observed. When using AC power supplies polar-
ity need not be observed.
Note: For UL compliance, the power supplies
must be UL Listed for Access Control Systems
and accessories.
3. Output hookup options :
The NP-AMOD8 will provide either eight (8) powered
(switched and/or auxiliary), eight (8) form "C", or any
combination of both powered and form "C" outputs.
(a) Switched Power outputs:
Connect the negative (-) input of the device being
powered to the terminal marked [COM]. For fail-safe
operation connect the positive (+) input of the device
being powered to the terminal marked [NC]. For fail-
secure operation connect the positive (+) input of the
device being powered to the terminal marked [NO].
(b) Form "C" outputs:
When form "C" outputs are desired, the correspond-
ing output fuse (1-8) must be removed. Connect
negative (-) of the power supply directly to the lock-
ing device. Connect the positive (+) of the power
supply to the terminal marked [C]. For fail-safe op-
eration, connect the positive (+) of the device being
powered to the terminal marked [NC]. For fail-
secure operation connect the positive (+) of the de-
vice being powered to the terminal marked [NO].
(c) Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):
Connect positive (+) input of the device being pow-
ered to the terminal marked [C] and the negative (-)
of the device being powered to the terminal marked
[COM]. This output can be used to provide power
for card readers, keypads etc.
4. Input trigger hookup options :
(a) Normally Open [NO] input trigger:
Inputs 1-8 are activated by normally open or open
collector sink inputs. Connect devices (card readers,
keypads, request to exit buttons etc.) to terminals
marked [IN] and [GND].
(b) Open Collector Sink inputs:
Connect the access control panel open collector sink
positive (+) to the terminal marked [IN] and the nega-
tive (--) to the terminal marked [GND].
5. Fire Alarm Interface :
A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] or rever-
sal of polarity input from a fire alarm control panel
(FACP) will trigger all outputs, except when the inde-
pendent mode option is selected.
Independent output mode: (eight (8) outputs with
FACP disconnect with or outputs without FACP dis-
connect).
To program the independent mode set switch to the
Fail Safe or Fail Secure position. In this mode of op-
eration, Fail Safe will be affected when the fire alarm
interface is triggered and outputs Fail Secure will re-
main unaffected.
(a) Normally Open [NO] input:
Connect the normally open FACP trigger input to the
terminals marked [+ INP] and [T].
(b) Normally Closed [NC] input:
Connect the normally closed FACP trigger input to
the terminals marked [+ INP -] and install a jumper
across the terminals marked [+ INP] and [T].
(c) Signaling Circuit input trigger:
Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) from the
FACP signaling circuit to the terminals marked [+
INP -].
Connect the FACP EOL or next signaling device to
the terminals marked [+ RET -- ] (polarity is refer-
enced in an alarm condition). Jumper J3 must be
cut.
6. FACP dry contact output:
Connect desired device to be triggered by the NP-
AMOD8's dry contact output to the terminals marked
[NO] and [C] FACP for normally open output or the
terminals marked [NC] and [C] FACP for normally
closed output.
