All of the above UL Listed Sub-Assembly Power Supply/Chargers can be installed
in Trove1 and Trove2 Access and
Power Integration Systems and Maximal Series.
For UL603 applications, or if a power-limited output is required in the end-
product application, the DC output from the power supply must be connected to
a separately Listed control unit or accessory board that provides power-
limited outputs. The product(s) providing the power-limited output(s) must be
listed as appropriate for the particular end-product application (fire alarm,
burglar alarm, access control) and wired in accordance with the product’s
installation instructions. Class 1 wiring methods, separation of circuits, and
proper fire-rated enclosures all must be considered when connecting the DC
output of the power supply to the end-product devices. The auxiliary outputs
of these units are
power-limited.

Not evaluated by UL.
Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA
70/NFPA 72/ANSI, the Canadian
Electrical Code and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
The product is intended for indoor use only.
-
Refer to Sub-Assembly Installation Instructions for mounting Rev. MS020119.
-
Set desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position on the power supply board (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
-
Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC 60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] (Fig. 1a, pg. 4). Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, AC input, DC output). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power-limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting).
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non-power-limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, DC Output (refer to Specifications Chart, pg. 2), Battery Wires). 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. -
Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.
-
Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
-
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 the battery to terminals marked [– BAT +] (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
Note: Separate enclosures must be used for housing 40AH or 65AH batteries.
7. It is required to connect appropriate signaling notification devices to [AC FAIL] & [BAT FAIL] (Fig. 1b, pg. 4) supervisory relay outputs. Use 22AWG to 18AWG wires. AC fail will report in 5 minutes. To delay the report for 6 hours cut the “AC Delay” jumper (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
- Output Voltage Selection Dip Switch. Not applicable for AL1012ULXB and AL1024ULXB2.
- AL1012ULXB terminals marked [– DC +]
- AL1024ULXB2 terminals marked [– BAT +]
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:
The 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.
Battery Test: Under normal load, conditions check that the battery is
fully charged, and check the specified voltage (12VDC @ 13.2 or 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.
Replacing Batteries: Disconnect existing batteries. Connect the battery
to the terminals marked [– BAT +]. Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in
series for 24VDC operation.

AC FAIL NO, C, NC
| Used to notify loss of AC power, e.g.connect to audible device or alarm panel. The relay is normally energized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC. AC or brownout fail is reported within 1 minute of the event. To delay reporting for up to 6 hrs., cut the “AC Delay” jumper and reset power to unit (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
BAT FAIL NO, C, NC
| Used to indicate low battery condition, e.g. connect to the alarm panel. Relay is normally energized when DC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC. A removed battery is reported within 1 minute. Battery reconnection is reported within 1 minute. Low battery threshold: approximately 21VDC (Fig. 1b, pg. 4).
