Overview

Altronix ACMCB220 Series units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 220VAC (working range 198VAC – 256VAC), 50/60Hz input into eight (8) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC PTC protected outputs. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. Units will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. The FACP Interface enables Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.

3. Connect AC (Fig. 2, pg. 7):
Connect unswitched AC power (220VAC, 50/60Hz) to terminals marked [L, N].
Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections. Secure green wire lead to ground lug.
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (220VAC, 50/60Hz Input, 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.

4. Measure voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.

5. Output options (Fig. 1, pg. 6):
   The unit will provide either eight (8) switched power outputs, eight (8) dry form “C” outputs, or any combination of both switched power and form “C” outputs, plus eight (8) unswitched auxiliary power outputs.

6. Switched Power outputs:
   Connect the negative (–) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [COM].
   For Fail-Safe operation connect the positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [NC].
   For Fail-Secure operation connect the positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [NO].

7. Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):
   Connect positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [C] and the negative (–) of the device being powered to the terminal marked [COM]. Output can be used to provide power for card readers, keypads, etc.

8. Input trigger options (Fig. 1, pg. 6):

9. Normally Open [NO] input trigger:
   Inputs 1-8 are activated by normally open or open collector sink inputs.
   Connect devices (card readers, keypads, request to exit buttons etc.) to terminals marked [IN] and [GND].

10. Open Collector Sink inputs:
    Connect the access control panel open collector sink positive (+) to the terminal marked [IN] and the negative (–) to the terminal marked [GND].

11. Fire Alarm Interface options (Figs. 4 through 8, pg. 8):
    A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] input or polarity reversal input from FACP signaling circuit will trigger selected outputs. To enable FACP Disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch [SW1-SW8] OFF. To disable FACP disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch [SW1-SW8] ON.

12. Normally Open [NO] input:
    For non-latching hook-up (Fig. 5, pg. 8). For latching hook-up see Fig. 6, pg.

13. 2. Normally Closed [NC] input:
       For non-latching hook-up (Fig. 7, pg. 9). For latching hook-up see Fig. 8, pg.
14. 3. FACP Signaling Circuit input trigger:
       Connect the positive (+) and negative (–) from the FACP signaling circuit output to the terminals marked [+ INP –]. Connect the FACP EOL to the terminals marked [+ RET –] (polarity is referenced in an alarm condition). Jumper located next to TRG LED must be cut (Fig. 1a, pg. 6).

15. FACP Dry form “C” output (Fig. 1a, pg. 6):
    Connect desired device to be triggered by the unit’s dry contact output to the terminals marked [NO] and [C] FACP for normally open output or the terminals marked [NC] and [C] FACP for normally closed output.

16. Battery Connections (Fig. 2, pg. 7):
    For Access Control applications batteries are optional. If batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. Batteries 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.

17. Battery and AC Supervision output (Fig. 2, pg. 7):
    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 notification devices. Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail & Low/No Battery reporting. Cut “AC delay” jumper to delay report for 6 hours.
    Note: A tamper switch must be installed and connected to the appropriate notification device to report a trouble condition when the enclosure door is open.

18. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 1, pg. 6):
    When using two (2) power supplies jumpers J1 and J2 (located to the left of the power/control terminals) must be cut (Fig. 1c, pg. 6 & Fig. 3 pg. 8). Connect power for the ACM8CB to the terminals marked [– Control +] and connect power for the locking devices to the terminals marked [– Power +].
    When using DC power supplies polarity must be observed.
    When using AC power supplies polarity need not be observed (Fig. 1d, pg. 6)

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 (Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts, pg. 3).

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, 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.
