Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, The Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and with all
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. The product must be located indoors within the protected premises.
1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill 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 enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws,
level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place
the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure
Dimensions, pg. 8).
2. Secure enclosure to earth ground.
3. Set the DC output voltage to 24DC by setting SW1 to the open position on the power supply board (Figure 2-1a).
4. Connect unswitched AC power (120VAC 60Hz) to terminals marked [L, N] (Figure 1). Use 18 AWG for all power connections and 18 AWG
to 22 AWG for power limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting). Secure green wire lead to earth ground. Keep power-limited wiring
separate from non power-limited wiring (120VAC 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
5. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.
6. Connect the delayed egress exit device locking hardware positive leads to terminals marked 1 through 4 POS (+) on the PD8ULCB board
and negative leads to the NEG 1 terminals through 4 terminals.
Figure 1 - Wiring Diagram for Connecting DE Exit Devices to a PS161-6 Power Supply
Note A 10k EOL (End of Line) Resistor must be installed across terminals marked (Trigger EOL Supervised) on the PS161-6 board or the
unit will remain in fire alarm condition.
7. For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.
Batteries must be lead acid or gel type if used. Use two 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation (Battery leads included).
8. Connect battery to terminals marked [-- BAT + ] (Figure 2 - 1g). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation
(battery leads included). Use batteries - Casil CL1270 (12V/7AH), CL12120 (12V/12AH), CL12400 (12V/40AH), CL12650 (12V/65AH)
batteries or UL recognized BAZR2 batteries of an appropriate rating.
9. To trigger the power supply from a re alarm control panel (FACP), connect signaling circuit of FACP to terminals marked Trigger End of
Line Supervised.
10. To delay AC reporting for 2 hrs. set dip switch [AC Delay] to OFF position (Figure 2 - 1c).
11. To delay AC reporting for 1 min. set dip switch [AC Delay] to ON position (Figure 2 - 1c).
Note Must be set to ON position for Burglar Alarm Applications.

12. To enable Low Output Power Shutdown set dip switch [Shutdown] to ON position (Figure 2 - 1c).
13. To disable Low Output Power Shutdown set dip switch Shutdown] to OFF position (Figure 2 - 1c).
14. Trigger terminals are end of a line resistor supervised (10k ohms). Opening or shorting trigger terminals will cause [DC] output to
shutdown (Figure 2 - 1d).
15. Place a jumper for non-latching FACP. A momentary short on these terminals resets FACP latching [Trigger EOL Shutdown] (Figure 2 - 1e).
16. For Access Control Applications: mount UL Listed tamper switch (Sentrol model 3012 or equivalent) at the top of the enclosure. Slide
tamper switch bracket onto the edge or the enclosure approx. 2” from the right side (Figure 4 or Figure 5). Connect tamper switch wiring
to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device.
Wiring:
Use 18 AWG or larger for all low voltage power connections.
Note Take care to keep power-limited circuits separate from non power-limited wiring (120VAC, Battery).
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level PS161-6: 24VDC nominal
rated @ 6 amp max.
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage (24VDC @ 26.4) both at the battery
terminal and at the board terminals marked [-- BAT + ] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Note Maximum charging current under discharges is 1.54 amp.
Note Expected battery life is 5 years, however it is recommended changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.

NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements:
Power-limited and non power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least
0.25” away from any non power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and non power-limited circuit wiring must enter
and exit the cabinet through different conduits. One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may require different conduit
knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used. For power-limited applications, use of conduit is optional. All field wiring connections
must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute). Optional UL Listed battery enclosure must be mounted
adjacent to the power supply via Class 1 wiring methods. For Canadian installations use shielded wiring for all connections.
Note Refer to wire handling drawing below for the proper way to install the CM or FPL jacketed wire, (Figure 5).
