CAUTION
De energize unit prior to servicing. For continued protection against risk of electric shock and fire hazard replace fuse with the same type and rating. Do not expose to rain or moisture.

CAUTION
When power supply board is set for 12VDC use only one 112VDC stand-by battery. Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited. Use minimum 0.25 spacing.

Installation Instructions

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/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 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 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.
2. Secure enclosure to earth ground.
3. Set the unit to the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1  to the appropriate position Power Supply Output Specification.
4. Secure cabinet to earth ground. Connect AC power (115VAC, 60Hz to the terminals marked L, N
5. Green AC LED on power supply board will turn on. This light can be seen through the LED lens on the door of the enclosure.
6. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections attery.
7. DC output, AC input. Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power-limited circuits AC fail/Low Battery reporting.
8. Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (115VAC, 60Hz Input, Battery Wires.
9. 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. For Fire Alarm applications the outputs are Special Applications only see list. For other devices contact Underwriters Laboratories to ensure compatibility.

• Measure output voltage before connecting device. This helps avoiding potential damage.
• When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed.
• Connect devices to be powered:
• For AL300ULX Power Supply: connect devices to the terminals marked + DC –
• For other Power Distribution Models: connect devices to be powered to the terminal pairs 1 to 4 marked 1P & 1N through 4P & 4N or 1 to 8 marked [1P & 1N] through 8P & 8N carefully observing correct polarity.
• 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 one (1) 12VDC battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT –] for 12VDC operation.
• Use two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series for 24VDC operation.
• Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC FAIL & BAT FAIL supervisory relay outputs.

Note
When used in fire alarm, burglar alarm or access control applications, AC Fail relay should be utilized to visually indicate that AC power is on. To delay report for 6 hours cut AC Delay jumper. Please ensure that the cover is secured with the provided key lock.

AC Fail NC, C, NO

| Indicates loss of AC power, e.g. connect to annunciator/alarm panel. Relay normally ener- gized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1A  28VDC. AC Fail condition will report approximately within one 1 minute after loss of AC. To delay report for 6 hours cut jumper J1 on the Power Supply Board (AC trouble output delay option). If this mode is selected, the Power Supply Board must be reset by removing all power to it for 30 seconds.

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. Low battery conditions will report approximately 21VDC 24VDC output setting or approximately 10.5VDC 12VDC output

setting). Battery presence detection will report approximately 1 minute after battery remains undetected missing or removed.
