Description
The PSX-M8/M8P power control modules add 8 zones to an
PSX power supply system for powering and monitoring locks,
cameras, or other critical devices. The PSX-M8/M8P MUST be
used with an PSX-NL4 network module. The PSX-M8/M8P ac-
cepts either one or two voltage sources, either of which are se-
lectable for output on a zone-by-zone basis. Each input is fully
programmable via software to accept a voltage, dry contact, or
open collector input. Each zone output is selectable via soft-
ware for FAI operation, constant output, maglock output, or
fail-safe or fail-secure doorstrike outputs. The suffix "P" added
to the model number denotes Class 2 Power Limited outputs.

Zone Inputs (INPUT 1 – 8)
These are the zone input terminal strips. These terminal strips
are removable and accept wire sizes from AWG12 – AWG22.
The terminals are labeled on the PC board near the terminal
strip. See the Input Wiring section of this manual for more
information.
• When using a dry contact input, the contact is connected
across the A and B terminals. When configured for a dry
contact input, it is normal to measure a voltage across these
two terminals. This voltage is current limited and will not
damage the activation contact.
• When using a voltage input, the voltage is connected to
the B terminal. The activation voltage must be common
grounded with the system voltage. The activation voltage
must be between 12 and 24VDC nominal. Do not con-
nect anything to the A terminal of the input.
• When using an open collector (transistor) input, place
a jumper across the A and B terminals and connect the
open collector to the B terminal. Note that the input
source must be common grounded with the PSX-M8/
M8P board’s power source.

This LED lights when the PSX-M8/M8P detects a ruptured
output fuse or other fault condition (including a tripped upper
or lower limit - See PSX-M8/M8P Programming section of this
manual for more information). This fault condition also trans-
mits to the PSX Power supply.
5
Buss Selection Yellow Jumpers (1-8)
The PSX-M8/M8P can accept up to two power supply inputs
connected to B1 and B2. This jumper selects which of the two
power supply inputs are used for the zone's output. If only a sin-
gle power supply is being used, set this jumper for Position 1.
B1 This position selects the power supply connected
to the B1 input of the PSX-M8/M8P board.
B2 This position selects the power supply connected
to the B2 input of the PSX-M8/M8P board.

system. The voltage on the B2 buss comes from the DC1 fas-
ton of an PSX power supply or the DC OUT faston of a PSX-
B100 secondary supply in a dual voltage system. This voltage
will be directed to any outputs whose Buss Selection Jumper
is set in the B2 position. If the PSX-M8/M8P is being used in a
single voltage system, these fastons can be left unused.
bk
B1 Connectors (J1 & J2)
These fastons are for connection to the B1 voltage buss in
the system. The voltage on the B1 buss comes from the
DC1 faston of an PSX power supply. This voltage will be
directed to any outputs whose Buss Selection Jumper is set
in the B1 position.
