MaximalEV Installation Instructions

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only.

1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top three keyholes in the enclosure. Install three upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the three upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower three holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the three fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the three upper screws. Install the three lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 12).

2. Connect unswitched AC power (220VAC, 50/60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] on both power supply boards. Green branch wire connects to earth (safety) ground lug. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections. (Fig. 2, pg. 6).
   Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring. Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
   CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.

3. Select desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position (Maximal11EV, Maximal13EV, Maximal33EV, Maximal35EV and Maximal37EV) (Fig. 1, pg. 5). Maximal55EV power supplies are factory set at 12VDC. Maximal77EV power supplies are factory set at 24VDC. Maximal75EV power supplies are factory set at 12VDC and 24VDC (Power Supply Board Stand-by Battery Specifications, pg. 5).

4. Measure the output voltage of the unit before connecting any devices to ensure proper operation. Improper or high voltage will damage these devices.

5. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 2, pg. 6).

6. For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. Connect battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT –] (Figs. 2-7, pgs. 6-11). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included).

7. Battery and AC Supervision outputs: It is required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC FAIL, BAT FAIL] supervisory relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO] to  appropriate visual notification devices. Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail & Low/No Battery reporting (Fig. 2a, pg. 6).

8. Mount UL Listed tamper switch (not included) (Altronix Model TS112 or equivalent) at the top of the enclosure. Slide the tamper switch bracket onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2” from the right side (Fig. 2b, pg. 6). Connect tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate alarm signal open the door of the enclosure.

9. Please ensure that the cover is secured with the provided key lock.

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 (Power Supply Stand-by Battery Specifications, pg. 5).

Battery Test:
Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage at the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked [+ BAT –] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.

Note: AL400XB2V, AL600XB220 and AL1012XB220 (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 0.7A.
AL1024XB2V (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 3.6A.
Expected battery life is 5 years, however it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary

Power Supply Board LED Diagnostics:

Power Supply Board Terminal Identification:

AC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC. AC or brownout fail is reported within 1 minute of event.
BAT FAIL NC, C, NO| Indicates low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm panel. Relay normally energized when DC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC. A removed battery is reported within 5 minutes. Battery reconnection is reported within 1 minute.
Low battery threshold:
12VDC output threshold set @ approximately 10.5VDC. 24VDC output threshold set @ approximately 21VDC.
+ BAT –| Stand-by battery connections.
AL400XB2V, AL600XB220 and AL1012XB220 (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 0.7A. AL1024XB2V (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 3.6A.
