Altronix Tango8A Series Access Power Controllers with PoE-Driven Power
Supply
Overview
Altronix Tango8A(CB) PoE Driven Power Supply with Access Power Controller converts an IEEE802.3bt PoE input into eight (8) regulated 24VDC and/or 12VDC outputs up to 65W.

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.
-
Mount the 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 the 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, pg. 8). Secure enclosure to earth ground.
Ensure all output jumpers [PWR1] – [PWR8] are placed in PWR1 OFF (center) position -
Connect IEEE802.3bt PSE to RJ45 Jack marked PoE+ Data Input on the PWR2 Tango1B board (Fig. 4, pg. 5). If Data pass-through is required, connect another
IEEE802.3bt PSE to RJ45 Jack marked [Data Output] (Fig. 4, pg. 5). OFF
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel. -
Set each output [OUT1] – [OUT8] to route power from Input 1 or 2 (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
Note: Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage. -
Turn the power off before connecting devices.
-
Output options: Tango8A(CB) will provide up to eight (8) switched power outputs or eight (8) dry
form “C” outputs, or any combination of both switched power and form “C” outputs, plus eight (8) unswitched auxiliary power outputs.
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].
Form “C” outputs:
When form “C” outputs are desired, the corresponding jumper (1-8) must be
placed in the OFF position (Fig. 1, pg. 3). Alternatively, the corresponding
output fuse (1-8) can be removed (Tango8A only). Connect negative (–) of the
power supply directly to the locking device.
Connect the positive (+) of the power supply to the terminal marked [C].
- For Fail-Safe operation connect the positive (+) of the device being powered to the terminal marked [NC].

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.
-
Turn main power on after all devices are connected.
-
Input Trigger options:
Note: If Fire Alarm disconnect is not used, connect a 10K ohm resistor to terminals marked [GND and EOL], plus connect a jumper to terminals marked [GND, RST]. -

Input Configuration:
Carefully observing polarity, connect the voltage input trigger wires and the supplied 10K resistor to terminals marked [+ INP1 –] to [+ INP8 –]. If applying voltage to trigger input – set the corresponding INP Logic switch to the “OFF” position If removing voltage to trigger input – set the corresponding INP Logic switch to the “ON” position.
- Fire Alarm Interface options
- A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] input, or polarity reversal input from
- The FACP signaling circuit will trigger selected outputs. To enable FACP Disconnect for
- an output turn the corresponding DIP switch [SW1-SW8] ON.
- To disable FACP disconnect for an output turn the corresponding DIP switch
- [SW1-SW8] OFF. A switch is located directly to the left of the Fire Alarm Interface Terminals. Normally Open Input:
- Wire your FACP relay and 10K resistor in parallel on terminals marked [GND] and [EOL]. Normally Closed Input:
- Wire your FACP relay and 10K resistor in series on terminals marked [GND] and [EOL]. FACP Signaling Circuit Input Trigger:
Connect the positive (+) and negative (–) from the FACP signaling circuit output to the terminals marked [+ FACP –]. Connect the FACP EOL to the terminals marked [+ RET –] (polarity is referenced in an alarm condition).
Non-Latching Fire Alarm Disconnect:
Connect a jumper to the terminals marked [GND, RST].
Latching Fire Alarm Disconnect:
Connect a NO normally open reset switch to terminals marked [GND, RST].
- FACP Dry NC output
Connect desired device to be triggered by the unit’s dry contact output to the terminals marked [NC] and [C]. When [EOL JMP] is kept intact, the output is of 0 Ohm resistance in a normal condition. When [EOL JMP] is clipped, a 10k resistance will be passed to the next device when in normal condition.
Wiring
Use 18 AWG or larger for all low-voltage power connections.
